How do you set it up so it actually emails you the attachment that you can play either on computer or iphone _without_ needing to go to their website?

I’m using GrandCentral for voicemail also.

I signed up recently, you fill in their form on the ‘reserve my number’ and I got a reply within a few days.

I might have used GrandCentral for it’s ‘one number’ but the PBX at work didn’t play nice with it.

I have been using GrandCentral since I was lucky enough to get in early before the doors closed. It is very impressive, and lets you listen to your voicemail as an audio file via the BB browser, or from any computer online. You can customize what groups of users hear what, similar to YouMail. I hope that YouMail will cause GrandCentral to open the invitations again.

I did talk to my T-Mo rep and I didn’t know but I have 500 forwarding minutes included in my plan, and I figure 500/month will do me fine.

Hi Nikolaus,

I don’t know your specific T-Mobile plan so I cannot comment, however the TM rep I spoke to confirmed that on my account, ‘call forwarding’ minutes are separate than ‘whenever’ minutes and usage applies accordingly. I have checked my TM account online frequently and usage seems to reflect what the rep said. You should of course, check with TM to confirm how your own plan works.

As far as GrandCentral, I have heard of them but since I have never used them, and since they are not currently handing out invitations for me to try them, I really cannot provide any comparisons between the two. YouMail is what I have been using and I like it very much.

Thanks,
Vicky

Question: “in my case with T-Mobile, comes out of my ‘call forwarding minutes’ and not my ‘whenever minutes’…if that makes any sense. ” That does not make any sense. I also have T-Mo, so aren’t you just talking about ‘whenever minutes’ or will I be charged $0.40 for every ‘forwarding minute’ or something like that?

I’m also really surprised this article did not mention GrandCentral. I really want GrandCentral to open their invitations up again, so I can add friends and family to them. GrandCentral is a bit similar to YouMail. I would have liked to read a bit of how you’d compare them.
