    visual voicemail recommendations?

    I tried youmail and it seemed to work pretty good. one major problem was that the app would only play my messages back over the speaker phone. I tried fix it in the options but no matter what setting I set up, it only would play via speakerphone.

    I'm not even sure why they would even have speakerphone as an option, who wants everyone to hear their messages?
    anyone else have this problem with youmail?

    any other suggestions other than the verizon one that we have to pay for?

    i set up google voice to work with mine and my wife's... my only gripe was that it didn't play over speaker.. i hit the play button then I have to hold it to my ear... for some reason I keep expecting to hear it out loud, but I guess in reality I'd rather not have it play so that everyone else hears it!

    If you go into GV settings you can change whether it comes out through the speaker or the ear business.

    +1 on Google Voice. It works great for me!

    was youmail updated? Can you now hear it over the ear piece instead of speaker phone?

    I may download both and choose.
    I didn't get the part about the invite. What's that about?

    I need an alternative to YouMail as well. I'd like to keep youmail as the service but is there another app that will pull from their server?

    Blackberry Used to have several programs that would sync with YouMail.

    The program still only plays over speaker.

    It's a problem with our phones. Android has made it to where 3rd party software can't use the earpiece anymore. All apps are not apparently restricted to using the speaker, bluetooth, or wired headset.
