Sprint Customers Can Use YouMail to Manage Voicemail for Free
YouMail, the visual voicemail app has been available for sometime, unfortunately carrier such Sprint used to charge all forwarding with a fee. Starting now, It’s official! Sprint conditional (forward when the phone is busy or out of range) call forwarding is now free of charge. Sprint customers can now utilize YouMail without incurring the previous $.20/minute for conditional call forwarding – normal airtime applies. Or in other words – for free.
If you’re new to YouMail, simply sign up for YouMail at www.youmail.com. Once you have a YouMail account, you can activate YouMail by dialing *289095106169 and pressing ‘Send” from your Sprint phone. This causes your busy and unanswered calls to be forwarded to YouMail instead of your old Sprint voicemail (this is the “conditional call forwarding” part)..
Existing YouMail customers with Sprint conditional call forwarding are not required to take any action at this time as the Sprint changes are automatic.
Sprint customers with a BlackBerry or the new HTC Hero can experience YouMail with their great, FREE phone apps . You can download the YouMail Visual Voicemail app from the Android Market or BlackBerry App World.
Note that unconditional (immediate) call forwarding (set up using *72) still incurs a $.20/min fee – but this doesn’t affect users using conditional call forwarding to replace Sprint voicemail with YouMail.
Mobile customer can also use Google Voice to relinquish the voicemail management as well.
