Visual Voicemail For The ROOTED T-Mobile G1 Android
I just installed the new visual voicemail application for the G1 android, and I have to say I’m impressed. I’m running custom firmware on a rooted phone.
The only annoyance is the time zone difference between here and customer support, and the fact you have to call to enable visual voicemail. It’s really nice to be able to selectively choose which voicemails you want to listen to without having to go through that long instructional voicemail junk. Another nice feature is that you can download and save any voicemail in MP3 format for later.
It does take a little longer for the voicemail to reach your phone though as it has to download the content, and the quality isn’t quite the same. But it’s nifty enough that there’s no way I’d go back.
Hopefully T-Mobile can get the My T-Mobile application working again for developer and rooted phone’s as well but I’m not expecting that any time soon.
If you haven’t yet, go ahead and download the visual voicemail application, call customer service, and check it out. It’s well worth it.

Hi, Josh! Has your VV experience improved? I’m very interested to know how VV has changed for user convenience over the years.
Yes, I’ve switched to Google Voice (http://www.google.com/voice) and haven’t looked back. Features are amazing, and you can’t beat free!
That, and I love the extra control I have with customized messages to caller groups and individuals, that and no limit to inbox recordings/transcriptions. If you’re on android/iphone i would absolutely give it a shot.
Tmobile was great, but they just lack features and frequent updates (I know… I’m a spoiled android user…). I hear RingCentral is pretty amazing too, though I’ve never used it myself.
Glad to see that your VV choices are working out for you – and that the technology catches up to needs pretty quickly. And hey, thanks for the compliment! Our system is mostly perfect for small businesses, and includes an integrated app for android users. So if you happen to know anyone who is willing to spend…you know where to look
