Something tons of users have over looked and I have come to enjoy. is converting voicemail into text. What you say? Yes its true you can convert your voicemail to text. How do I do it you ask well here is your answer

Hold down the alt key and then press the number7 WHILE inside the MESSAGES icon

try it you might use it more often

How well does it work? I hate to sit and listen to voice mail. And then try and write it all down.

i get Voicemail Messages header but it says *No Messages* even though I have voicemail sitting in the inbox...

how exactly does it work? do you need a third party app as stated in the FAQs?

on 7100g 4.1

afz100 Same thing happen to me. Must be a trick to it.

[Nextel User]

wonder if he is crazy, or it might be a sprint feature. and not a nextel feature

[Nsupporter]

yeah it works on the nextel phones no its not a 3rd party ap. its actually in the user guide on how to use this feature!

[southwestcomm]

Doesn't work on my BB.....

[akkording]

*No Messages* and I have one VM waiting

[andrebsd]

I do believe it only works with certain companys... like Nextel. (Which is why the poster said the I version specificly)... So if your trying it on a non "I" or unlocked on another carrier; it won't work

The BlackBerry itself doesn't really have the ability to call up your voicemail, know what numbers to push when, listen to the message, and then convert it to text. - So it has to be implimented on your carrier side.

i have a nextel and it doesn't work on mine either

[seiler]

it doesnt work on my 7100i either and i just looked in manual and cant find it mentioned in there

[neile457]

[SmurfBerry]

Not working on my 7100I either..This sounds sweet and you have us all on the hook now.Whats the deal?

[Nsupporter]

alright I will post more information about it then. I will post some of the manual I have. I must have a more informed manual than that is ava to you guys. Guess not same manual

Ok in my guide its on page 24

[kelvin]

I checked page 24 - here is what it says - To view voice mail message, in the message list press ATL+7
Not sure what else you have installed. I am also on Nextel and cannot make this work.

I did notice when I do what it says the Header at the top says "Searching" from the standard "NEXTEL" and then displays "Voice Mail Messages". With 1 VM it returns " *No Messages". It is doing something, but WHAT?

[Nsupporter]

also incase you guys didnt know some help message buttons are

To open a selected message just hit enter
To compose from the message list just hit the , key
To reply to a highlighted message hit the ! key
To forwad a message use the . key
To reply to all use the ? key

Page down alt+9
Page up alt+3

Show only outgoing alt+. key
Show only incoming alt+3

Hey if you guys can find out more about this for us it would be great!

[GoblueNextel]

Hey guys when you check your voicemail do you get an opt to convert to text? or maybe you have to save the message first. Ive seen some other customer doing it but I didnt get all of the steps on how to. try a couple of things and let me the further steps.

I am confused????? Can YOU do this or NOT? In your original post you say "How do I do it you ask well here is your answer" - This tells me you HAVE in fact done this. But your quote above is now asking us to let YOU know what the further steps are????

Please elaborate so I can stop wasting my time.

Whats the deal NSupporter...Come on now...We are all dying for this feature now! You didn't make this up did you?

[Micpip]

On the phone with dealer support (BalckBerry/Nextel)

The tech said that's what it's for. We are doing test right now on my Blackberry.

I let everyone know...........

[Nsupporter]

the feature is ava for nextel Customers. Not sure on out it works fully yet. Let you know as soon as I know

[Micpip]

Just got off the phone with tech support over an hour with them. There no real reason why it doesn't work. The techs said there was an e-mail they got on it this morning. In the end they didn't get it to work correctly. They told me there is just no info out on it yet. Just directions on how to use it. There will be more info to come on it. They escalated my call to upper tier techs and still no answers I have a service ticket in the works with them. I will post as soon as I found out how it works.
