Ok...so I just got rid of you mail(don't ask why I had it...pfff)

And simply I don't have a voice mail setup.I have voice mail set to my phone number....so every time I call it, it comes up to a busy signal. Any help???

Is there a good visual voice mail app that is free for our captivates?

Thanks again!

Not sure about the voicemail issue, but a terrific and free solution for VVM is Google Voice. You can set it up to work with your current cell number (you don't have to get a Google phone number) and it has a nice app that not only plays back VM but also transcribes them! You can also get a notice of VM in an email (also with transcription) and/or SMS, along with a web interface for accessing VM from your desktop/nptebook!

I've Personally run into a few issues with GVM. Sometimes someone leaves me a VM, but I get no audio or anything, and the "no transcription available" message.

I've read this is possibly an AT&T issue, but it seems to hit me about one out of every 4 voicemails I get (which is about once a week I don't get a VM that someone left me).

People have said the greeting didn't finish, just a BEEP, and then they left a message, but I didn't get it.

Just a warning.

Other then that The Visual Voicemail is pretty slick on the Voice Client, and while its not as "snappy" as I would like it to be, it works well.
