We were promised visual voicemail for the G1 ( and subsequent Android phones)by the close of the yearvia the folks at Fusion , a VVM provider that already has apps for several other platforms . Today , the Android edition hit the securities industry , and we ’ve given it a spin . So how does it work ? Pretty well . Setup is fair elementary - just sign up for an account with your email name and address and wandering number on Fusion ’s web site to get an activation PIN code ( all free ) which then pairs your G1 ’s app with your history . After that , you have to manually change your call forwarding setting to ahead to Fusion ’s VM server turn . After that , your messages will get do in to the app ’s decent but not beautiful UI like you would expect . The drawback ? First , you ca n’t record a usance salutation , as far as I can see ( Update : Youmay be able to alter itby dialing the telephone number you forward calls too then entering in your PIN , but my PIN has n’t been accepted yet ) . A generic “ the number you have reached is not available ” message is the norm . It ’s fine , but for people who actually want their part on the voicemail inbox , it does n’t reckon like that ’s potential with Fusion yet . And second , the notifications of Modern substance are discrepant . On my headphone , each voice mail is accompany by an SMS that ’s full of nasty number ( see below ) . Fusion has its own notifications in Android ’s pull - down drawer as well , but these do n’t protrude up with every message ( only one out of three trial messages I left carried a notification from the actual app ) . That ’s a shame because the notification tie - in is essential for draw sure you get your messages without thinking you ’re being spam - texted .
away from those two negatives , though , the service works well for free optic voice mail on Android . [ Fusion Voicemail ]
