To everyone who is having issues with having to lose their 400 free text messages or having to switch to the more expensive plan. DON’T BELIEVE IT. When I called T-Mobile this is what they told me as well BUT when I did LIVE CHAT support I made my case very calmly and respectfully and found that there IS a plan called “T-Mobile Android Unlimited Web + 400 Messages”. The key word there is “Android” NOT G1 which is what I had that did NOT include the Free Visual Voicemail. Make the case to support that you KNOW this plan exists and that others are using it for $24.99 a month….so why should you be excluded or pay more? I’m not sure if the Support people are not aware or told to encourage us to not know of this plan to justify a rate increase but whatever the case…”Don’t believe it!”

For the people having trouble with the VV app not connecting or just cycling. Make sure you are not connected to a Wi-fi network. Your voicemail comes down on 3G and Edge networks and if you are connected to wi-fi at the time you can’t get them. T-mobile has an official setup and troubleshooting forum where you can check out any other issues you may be having. Seems there’s an explanation for just about everyone’s complaints so go check it out

Spent 3 mins on TMO website switching to the Android Plan. Spent 2 mins downloading and installing the app. Got a text saying the Android plan was in effect immediately. VV worked immediately. All told, 5 mins.

Kingdavid, how stupid are you? Or should I say, y’all? At least y’all made me laugh!

My Downloads said there was a new version of the app last night. So I downloaded & installed it, cycled the phone, and still no go.

I have a busy weekend coming up, but if it’s still not working by Sunday night or Monday, I’ll call ‘em back and see what the hell’s going on.

Had problems on the day TMO introduced Visual VM, but called today and everything went fine. I didn’t lose the 400 free txt msgs with the plan change and price is the same too. Guess some of the reps were just confused on the first day.

I tried it 15mins after the rep activated and it worked like a charm! Awesome.

Although I have a Google Voice account and the TTS VM feature is tempting, I don’t want to let Google peek into my Voice mails or give it full control of my mobile number.

Still waiting for it to work for me. It wants me to upgrade my account, then tells me that it can’t. Calls to TMO say that the account is set up as it should be but that some users are experiencing problems.

DUH!

Same with me. It is active but whenever i try to launch it tells me to upgrade then it fails telling me to call CS. The TMO support anticipated no more than a week from yesterday and it will be fixed.

Is there any way to automatically sync the voicemails, because I just got voicemails today (August 5) from 2 days ago? Is there some additional setting that I looked over in order to get my new voicemails immediately after a person calls and leaves them?

What are you guys talking about? I signed up for Visual voicemail with no issues and I had the unlimited Data with 400 text messages. I checked my account and it says I have an Android service plan with unlimited data and 400 text messages. The lady I talked to did it with no problem and said the plan changed from the G1 plan to the Android plan because they now have more than one Android phone (so it didn’t make sense to call it “G1″ anymore). Nothing else changed for me.

I understand that a lot people initially complained about losing the text messaging, so TMO dropped that after a couple days.

I’m still waiting for this problem to be fixed so that I can actually use VVM. Changed the plan to the necessary Android plan, and they still tell me there’s some network issue preventing some users from completing the signup process when you run the app.

Gaydroid you guys suck like tmobile for not telling people that the g1 is the same as the mytouch just without a keyboard. Y’all some suckas for not telling customers who already have the g1 not purchase the phone because its the same damn phone. Htc hero is coming out with the hero and y’all are satisfied with sub par phones like the mytouch. Its the same efn phone as the g1 say it. Y’all are suckas for this. I hate you and tmobile for lying to its customers.
