Can you PW Protect voicmail app?

I like that vociemails are able to be played back on device. What I don't like is that anyone who happens to pick up my phone unlocked can hear them. Is there a setting I'm missing to require a password? If not how can I disable this?


When i set up my VM, it asked me to enter a passcode. When i checked my VM, it asked me to enter the code before i could hear the message.

I believe you have the option when setting up your new VM account for the EVO to either have the passcode automatically entered or you can set it to prompt you for it each time. I'm guessing if you go back and change the options in the Sprint VM menu (the retrieval process) you can change the setting to whichever you prefer.

The password options given are only for when you call from your own phone. You can set it to require a password to hear messages or not. There are no options to require password for messages using voicemail app.

At least know that I have seen.
Anyone else have any ideas on what i'm missing or if this is even possible?

If not I guess I will have to uninstall that voicemail app if I even can. :(
