Re: Some Information for A T & T Wireless Customers Who Recently Enabled WiFi Calling or Who Were Recently Switched to HD Voicemail

Is it some new type of voicemail that they're trying out, then? I'm confused.


Thanks,

Hey, cool! By HD voicemail, do you mean visual voicemail? If so, I already have 
that set. I'll have to call about getting the delay extended. This would be 
really great for me, as I often have the problem of not being able to reach the

I wonder if this applies to t-mobile customers as well. Just yesterday, I had a 
call ring only twice, and then go to voicemail. That's something I hadn't had 
happen in the past.

Hello Pete,

In the past, A T & T Wireless and T-Mobile mirrored each other in many feature 
sets.  It certainly cannot hurt to give T Mobile a quick call, eh?

Should you decide to contact them, please let us know what happens.

Good Luck,
