So your voice mails from your cell phone go to Google Voice and it's
basically a visual voice mail replacement?

I use Google Voice for my voicemail, but it requires a smartphone
AFAIK.

I have a Motorola RAZR Maxx HD phone and depend heavily on
Verizon's "Visual Voicemail" (although I'd sure like to
increase the 40 message limit).
VZ was sending me these confusing text messages about $2.99
Visual Voicemail going away and the replacement Visual
Voicemail would be the same but free or something, I couldn't
decipher what they were trying to tell me.
Well, today my voicemail reverted to standard VM where you
have to dial *86 and step through the messages one at a time
using the voice prompts. That just won't work for me. After
about 10 minutes on hold with VZ customer support, they
discovered the alerts should have said "our outsourced
voicemail vendor will stop supporting your device". So one
option would be to buy a new phone.
Anybody have another suggestion? Is there a third party app
in the Google Play store that would work with VZ voicemail?
The VZ support rep implied that might be the case but VZ
wouldn't support it.
Or is there some kind of spiffy third party voicemail service
that I could set up my phone to forward to when busy or
unavailable (a lot of my VZ calls seem to go straight to VM
without the phone ever ringing)? With an Android app, and
maybe lots of cool features and storage for more than 40 messages?
Or am I stuck buying a new phone just to get a working
voicemail app?
(Obviously the phone is more than 2 years old, but I won't
sign a 2 year contract for a phone anymore, if they even do
that. I would end up buying the new phone outright, so not
talking chump change.)
