Verizon officially official with its Visual Voice Mail service

We’ve talked about it few days ago, and now Verizon has issued the official release announcing that its Visual Voice Mail service is readily available for the owners of the LG Voyager.

From the press release:

Visual Voice Mail allows customers to see a list of all of their voice mail messages with important information, such as date and time of receipt, as well as message duration, in order to prioritize and efficiently manage their voice mail messages directly from their phones. When a caller leaves a new voice mail message, the Visual Voice Mail application pops up, alerting the customer that a new voice mail message has been received. From the phone display, customers can select from a number of options, including call back, reply, forward, add to contacts, and archive message (to internal or external memory).

Users can store up to 40 messages for 40 days — double the storage capacity and nearly double the retention time of Basic Voice Mail. Additionally, customers can create up to 10 greetings, as well as up to 20 distribution lists and 50 distribution members to receive messages.

LG Voyager owners can find the Visual Voice Mail app on the “Messaging” menu under option 6 on their phones. The service costs $2.99 per month per line, plus airtime or megabyte charges and messaging fees.

Alcatel-Lucent and Comverse are providing the technology for the service.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    I use this along with my internet voice mail service, 101voicemail.com. I never miss important calls and have the time to do other things.
