This then allowed me to get SMS trasnscripts (for a charge) and also basic SMS messages when I got a voicemail that contained more information than a normal message waiting indicator (Name of caller, duration, if they left a message, ability to listed to VM online).. all of these were free
Also it allowed me to have custom greetings per caller.
I have never been charged the 20 cents per minute and have been doing this for months. why? whats different from GV?
I understand that the regular call forwarding is 20 cents a minute, and that would be heaven (to have all calls route to GV, but I was under the impression that If you call and request specifically your NO ANSWER CF to another number, this does not incurr charges.
Please someone let me know whats going on becuase I would like to use GV instead of youmail to handle voicemail only (until the 20 cent charge is lifted for all forwarding).
Thanks.
Depending on the rep, some said conditional forwarding was $0.20 per minute, some didn't before. Now the policy is that across the board, conditional forwarding is free. They've also made it easier to set up conditional forwarding, by dialing *28 I think it was.
In addition, if you have the Simply Everything plan (as opposed to Everything 450 or 900) then apparently regular forwarding will be free at the end of next month as well.
Youmail and Google Voice (if using your own number, not a GV number) have the same features pretty much. If using the GV number, then Google Voice can do more.
