YouMail Introduces Visual Voicemail Plus For BlackBerry

February 4, 2009 by Robb Dunewood 18 Comments

YouMail Visual Voicemail Plus for BlackBerryYouMail put out a press release this morning introducing Visual VoiceMail Plus, a free visual voicemail application for BlackBerry devices running BlackBerry OS 4.3 or higher.  Pretty much every BlackBerry Device since the BlackBerry Pearl.

“Visual voicemail is only a small portion of what voicemail needs to and can do,” said Alex Quilici, CEO of YouMail. “YouMail’s Visual Voicemail Plus allows BlackBerry users to enjoy the speed and convenience of visual voicemail, for free, in addition to having access to all of the other voicemail enhancements in YouMail’s award winning voicemail service.”

There is no question that Visual Voicemail Plus is a result of the huge success that VyMail saw when it first was released.  I’ve just installed Visual VoiceMail Plus, however, at first glance, VyMail, which is also free, seems to have a few more features and be a bit more refined.

I am sure that YouMail will improve Visual Voicemail Plus over time and I fully expect Voicemail transcription to be added for a fee at some point.  I would have to imagine that any type of voicemail transcription the YouMail offers down the road will seriously give other players such as SpinVox and PhoneTag competition because they will have such a large subscriber base already using the free Visual VoiceMail Plus.

If there is one thing that BlackBerry users like it is a free application that is actually usefull.

You can get Visual Voicemail Plus for BlackBerry by visiting http://m.youmail.com/ymmobile/.  You can also download Visual VoiceMail Plus OTA directly to your BlackBerry by going to http://m.youmail.com/ota.

    You actually have to sign up a YouMail account. Once you do that you will get a PIN

    I just downloaded and installed on my BlackBerry Storm and have one question. How do you listen to your messages once they come in. In VyMail you just click on the message and it takes you to a screen where you play it.

    I am having the same problem. When you click on a message it just gives you a menu and play message is not one of the options.

    I am going to install it on a BlackBerry Bold when I get a chance and see if I get the same behavior.

    No problems here Visual Voicemail is native and a standard app on the iPhone.

    It’s working on my iPhone too, but, the question that you need to ask yourself is why would anyone even care? Clearly this thread is about visual voicemail plus and how you listen to your voicemails on your BlackBerry Storm.

    Native and pre-installed on Storm as well. At least you get the choice whether to pay or not.

    Why are you posting about the iPhone anyway?

    this is a really nice app. u follow all the directions carefully ull get it right, another cool thing about this app is that when u call the voicemail, after u listen to 1 of ur new voice messages, 1 of the options are to make a personal message for that number. i think that was so awesome, so i tested it from different phones to see if it was the official voicemail for every incoming call. and it didnt play for any1 else. this means suppose ur mom, ur aunt, or spouse calls and u accidently miss the calls like me cuz i have horrible reception where i live, they can hear a dedicated message u made urself just for them. i think thats so very cool.

    Awful. There’s no reason to even try this out if you already have VyMail installed.

    When I try to sign up for an account I receive an error message : “Unable to authenticate user with provided credentials.” Anyone have any suggestions for creating an account for Verizon Blackberry Storm?

    One thing to keep in mind: Every call that goes to this voicemail is billed as a no- answer transfer. Therefore even when you get a call from an “in network” mobile to mobile, (a call that would otherwise not use up airtime), you will be billed airtime. At least that’s the way it works on VZW. The point is: Your airtime use could increase.

    I am trying to retireve my pin for my You mail, but when I try it says my number is already in use. And when I try and put in my pin from my BB it says invalid pin. I guess I have signed up already. How do you get your pin sent to you? I had it on a different device. Thanks
