i had problems with youmail this morning. kept getting an error message “network delays. audio still downloading” when trying to play voicemails. sent an email to support, but they never go back to me. instead, later tonight, the program prompted me to upgrade…which was a little confusing, because on my storm, the keyboard is static and i couldn’t tell i had scrolled down to the bottem of the upgrade notice. instead, the program downloads the ota in the background. to make a long story short, after the upgrade, it’s working again. newest version is 0.93.14

Thanks for the detailed steps, however, I’m still having the same issues, I followed your steps exactly and it didn’t work for me. I’m using a TMobile Curve 8900. ARGHHH!!!!

i had this problem too. but it’s working fine on my storm now (4.7.0.99). i changed my phone type from blackberry “other” (since the storm wasn’t listed) to “8830″). just to be safe, i also checked the box “attach the audio file as (mp3) file” (found under my account/alerts). and to be extra safe, once i made these changes to my account, i uninstalled and re-installed and that seemed to fix my problem. i’m now able to play back my voice messages.

works fine on my phone, but my only complaints are 1: volume is not very loud (and can’t seem to adjust volume), 2) even though it can import contacts, it doesn’t import the associated contact pictures – i imported my gmail address book and 3) even though it works fine on my storm, the touchscreen isn’t supported so you have the keyboard that takes up half of the screen.

but for a free app and service, it’s pretty sweet.

Haven’t downloaded yet, but what a shame, since the developer of VyMail is a really nice guy. Also, all the Marketing Calls YouMail sends me lately make me wary of continuing their service, much less uploading my contacts to them.

Hahaha. I’m quite sure it’s a nice app if your passcode is 4 characters or shorter. =)

CONCLUSION: YouMail VV Plus doesn’t work. VyMail works and uses slightly less memory. Choice is crystal clear.

it downloaded all the files to my device memory…….(maybe because the 8220 was attached at the time to my pc) so that was flag #1. i could see the bars turning green but i could not play anything……i uninstalled, rebooted reinstalled and now it cant log in…….so back to vymail for me………was good….

I can’t play the voicemail on the app. Ideas?

I downloaded youmail and had my friend leave a message. I can see the message details in the youmail app but it doesn’t allow me to play it. It when I press down on the voicemail, it gives me two options only: upload contact and new messages, neither play the message, someone help?

Does this use SMS? I had to allow SMS send and receive when installing this app. I hope it will not do any SMS because I don’t have an SMS plan.

I removed vymail before installing this and I didn’t have any problems getting it to work.

same problem as David. Do you have to take VyMail off?

By: Nikolaus

We need a comparison between this and VyMail. I really like VyMail, but space is limited. Which takes up less space?

This app is awesome. So far alot better than vymail. However, it still does not play the voicmail through my bluetooth headset. Anyone have any ideas?

the PIN is only suppose to be 4 characters right?

By: Jason

Jason — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 09:19:24 +0000

The PIN code field is too short. It only allows for 4 charecters
