Visual Voice Mail with AT&T

WP7.5 has Visual Voice Mail but is not supported by AT&T. The iPhone has had VVM for years with AT&T so the system's in place.

        I also have a Nokia Lumina 920 on AT&T, and VVM worked out of the box once I entered my password. Very nice upgrade.

        The VVM is available to Nokia Lumia 920 (white) with ATT. I upgraded to Lumia 920 last friday and it's there. Finally!

        while we're at it, give us the ability to edit the Visual Voicemail APN so we can set it for MVNOs and other NON att carriers.

        This isn't supported by Sprint either and was one of my favorite android features

        Alright another update. If you go onto ATT's site it actually shows you after some searching that BlackBerry, iPhone, Android AND WINDOWS PHONE LTE have the ability to do Visual Voicemail. ALl of us other schmucks without LTE have to either wait or live without it. So I guess you can't blame Microsoft on this one.

        BTW I just read this on Microsoft's website. I guess it is up to ATT?

        "Depending on your mobile operator and current phone plan, you may have the option to set up visual voicemail, which lets you see your voicemail messages in a list and play them on your phone. "

        I'm not sure who's in control of visual voicemail but I'd like it to be an original OS feature. Visual Voicemail on iOS was, in my opinion, one of the most useful things about the OS.

        "AT&T actually keeps telling me when I contact them that their lack of support for it is the manufacturer's fault and I should contact Microsoft"

        If that was true then when apple and there iphone was created to make the visual voicemail apple had to create it on att's network that makes no sense. It's all att's configuring.

        This isn't a choice made by Microsoft but rather AT&T. They already said they are working on it and it will be coming soon.

        Tmobile has the same issue. Apparently the mobile providers did not test the Mango release well enough. Tmobile tech said they are working on a resolution but do not have a time line. MS should be more forcefully with the mobile operators otherwise a great product looks bad because people will think it’s the OS and not the mobile operators fault. I love this OS, gave up my Andriod 4 weeks ago and won’t b going back to it, great job MS.

        Honestly, they should allow voicemail options to be left on the Windows Phone such as VVM and being able to record your own voicemail greeting. If you stop and think about it, being able to record your own voice greeting, store it on your phone, and have other voicemails and the VVM feature on your phone would also help carriers on bandwidth issues. Because they store all voicemails and their greetings on their own servers unlike Apple.

        Thank you 7thSense and Morgan, looks like I and everyone else will be getting their votes for this back soon. Thanks for the support all...

        I spoke with an AT&T rep yesterday. They said within 30 days they will be rolling out an update to Windows Phones that will activate the visual voicemail feature in WP 7.5. If they are correct... its coming. Also said there would be no extra charge for the service.
