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

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 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?

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.
