Afternoon,

One of the things that I have been annoyed at not having since I got my iPhone is Visual Voicemail. I had to stick with the traditional crap because it wasn't available to PAYG O2 iPhone users.

Well now there is a solution for US and UK users. HulloMail.

Lets start by saying I am not a employee, representative or share holder of HulloMail.

I am not sure of how many people use this at the moment. I did a search and only one post was returned.

Basically, it is visual voice-emails. I have it configured to send any new voicemails to my ME email address where it then syncs between unread and read. This also gives me the choice of listening on my computer.

Recently as well, New Years Day I think, their iPhone App was available. This also pulls the voicemail from your email account for you to listen on your phone. This is done on a data connection.

TBH it is quite cool and functional. I am sure there are others out there, but I haven't seen any (I haven't looked too hard tbh)

The only thing I don't like is that I can't launch the app by pressing the Voicemail button in the phone app.

Also, on thing I would check is if there are any additional costs on your network when using this to replace your standard voicemail.

Once again, I am not a HulloMail employee, just someone who is impressed with their service, and so I thought I would share on here as MR as helped me quite a lot since moving to Mac

Thanks
