FusionPlus 2.0 up and Running on Imagio

Being an alltel customer still in verizon's eyes means no access to verizon services such as Vcast tv, visual voicemail, vz navi, etc........who really cares. But I do need the visual voicemail. And fusionplus works great, tack 3.99/mo and you have voice-to-text. Very nice service.

Explain a little more about PhoneFusion. I have verizon visual voicemail and it seems ok but I was wondering how PhoneFusion works since you have to forward you number to their number then you getting charged minutes everytime you get a voicemail.

It does run on your normal minutes when you call in to check your voicemails. However, they are visible and you download them via data connection and then play in windows media player as mp3's so the there really is no need to use your voice minutes. You can manually download or set them to auto download. And of course the service is free. More info at http://www.fusionvoicemailplus.com/

how did you get it to forward it? when i did i called the *72 it makes it go straight to voicemail everytime, it doesnt ring on my end.

You first need to call verizon and have them set your conditional call forwarding number to 813-200-0200. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL YOUR MESSAGES DELETED BEFORE YOU CHANGE FROM VERIZON VOICEMAIL TO FUSION PLUS (or else you will not be able to get rid of the new voicemail notifications and it will drive you crazy like it did me). When you call verizon, speak only with tech support as customer service will say its not possible. After you do this go in to phone settings and on the first tab "phone" (start->settings->all settings->personal->phone) where it says "voicemail" change the number to 813-200-0200. This should automatically set your 1st speed dial to your new voicemail box. Good to go.

Here's a quote from the email they sent me:
To activate conditional call forwarding: Enter *7118132000200 as if it is a phone number that you are dialing and press "SEND".
To deactivate conditional call forwarding: Enter *73 as if it is a phone number that you are dialing and press "SEND".
*72 is Call Forwarding:

*71 is No Answer/Busy Transfer:

I tried this method three times and was unsuccessful until I called tech support and had them do it for me. Did this work for you?

how do you get 'sync' to work? I'm either putting in the wrong number/password combination or something else. New email comes in fine.

See post number 5.

Sweeny Russ, it has been about a week or so since you have had phonefusion running, how do you like it, Verizon's visual voicemail is handy but the app takes to long to load and I don't know if it is 2.99/month handy. Reading your posts it seems like it is a pain in the A$$ to setup if you have to call tech support. I wonder why doing the *71 + the number would not work?
Thanks

Thanks, but that didn't help me. I did figure it out though. When you add an account, use the Fusion Voicemail Login number they email you and the password they give you. Then sync will work. I had changed my password via their website and it wasn't working in the phone software. Must have needed a little more time to update.
Overall, it works good. I like it better than the Visual Voice Mail and I think the quality is better and its free. I didn't have to call VZW to get my cell to forward. It was very easy and straight forward.
However, I need to find away to be able to use the handset speaker to play the voicemails instead of using the speaker phone. It's getting a little annoying. I think the default is Microsoft media player. I can't find away for it to switch between handset and speaker. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it.

icon, did you do *71 + number or * 72 + number?

conditional, *71

Thank for the reply. If I would of only read. My fault. I got it.

Morning all,
I am trying to get FusionPlus to sync when I hit the sync option. I have put my VZW phone number in there, along with my VZW vm password. Should I do the opposite and put the FusionPlus number and password?
Steve

I just entered my verizon number and the password. I clicked sync, I did not get any errors but it does not seem to have done anything.

That's what I was talking about above...
For syncing, put the Fusion Voicemail Login number they email you and the password they give you.
Hope that helps. I think they could have given a little more direction on that. I wasn't sure what number to put either.

I used my verizon phone number and the password phonefusion sent me.

I think fusion is perfect. I also found that it does not have to be open to notify you of new voicemails. It is very finger friendly and If you have bluetooth toggle you can list to your voicemail via bluetooth headset, the way I do it anyway, which is nice if you have messages you don't want anyone to be able to hear because it routes through the speaker. And if you delete a message but then need it later they save it for 14 days, unless your free mailbox is full. Also I can't see it using any visible resources, its footprint is very small compared to verizon visual voicemail.

Call blocking software

Ok, I used to have an app installed on my phone that not only would block calls that i chose (by number) but it gave me the option for an error message to be played for the caller. I had it set to say "your call cannot be completed as dialed, please check the number and dial again." Now I cannot find this app, does anyone know what it is? Please help, thanks.

Not the app you're looking for, but I use aFirewall and it blocks calls. It just sends them to Voice mail, but if you have Google Voice you can set it up to send them to a really obnoxious voice mail message.

Yea, I had that, but the app I had before literally made the caller think your number had been disconnected. It was sweet.

cm6 rc2 has a blacklist in call settings, works just fine.

Yes, this works also, but it doesn't redirect to voicemail. It just outright end the call.

back to my main question, blacklisting is not the thing wanted, it is the message played to the caller, "your call cannot be completed as dialed, please check the number and dial again.
I had an app that allowed the user to chose the message the caller hears, another option was the...beep...beep...beep...beep tone.
It was sweet.

I would be interested in finding the name of this app... I'll keep an eye on this thread.

Done tonnes of searching and can't find what you mean.
If you do find it please send me a PM, sounds class

I'm pretty sure Google Voice does this, When I was reading the GV FAQ awhile back I remember thinking what a really cool function of GV it was. On the downside I believe GV has to be your primary number though, not positive, you might wanna check it out.

Google voice does let you set a specific number to get a disconnected message.
It does require for you to use google voice as your voicemail, but it does not need to replace your current number.
i've used this feature and it is quite effective. for maximum effect just set the option within your phone book to send the caller directly to voicemail.
your phone will not even ring.

Easybusy
I think you talking about easybusy. I use it and have my phone set to forward calls to a fake number like 555-555-5555. One problem, I'm currently testing the new energy rom and now my easybusy software will not work.

Incoming call text back feature

For the life of me, I can't find where to edit the responses without actually editing it when I'm receiving a call. Does anyone know where to find the list of responses for this so I can add a few? TIA

settings --> call settings -->All Calls -->> Reject Call With Message
You can add a message and edit/delete message by hitting the menu button.

You guys rock. Thanks a lot!

Don't use it if you use Google Voice...
It responds from your actual cell number :-(

Google Voice has the option to mark numbers as spam, so when I have to use my phone to call people I don't necessarily want to be able to call me back I use it and if there is a problem google Voice eliminates it. I don't give out my t-mobile number because then people will bother me.
Fortunately the person who i rejected with a text was not bright and asked who was texting. I apologized and said "Sarah", they said they didn't know a Sarah and I said oh, sorry wrong number... Then I called them back from GV later that night.

Evo not rejecting calls

I am using google voice as primary voice mail and i think because of this every time i try to reject the call i have to do it twice (Hit decline and after 5 seconds the phone rings again and decline again) only then it goes to voice mail.
My question is there anything i can do to fix this and just send the caller to voice mail.

Do you have the feature to screen calls going to voicemail? If I'm following you, then what I did was to turn that feature off in gv settings on the computer. There might have been another setting on the computer to do but I don't remember. This way, I think if you reject the calls, they go to vm. If you go into the log screen of activity in gv on the computer, you can look up the number that called you and there should be a more link just below it. I know one off the settings is block, there might be a setting to go directly to voice mail.
There also might be a setting on the phone in the contact list and under that number if you saved it. There might be a choice to send it directly to vm in it's contact info. Just poke around. Knowing me, this probably isn't what you were looking to do.
And yeah, gv instructions for setup and explaining features had much to be desired at times, aggravating at others.

I have the same problem, even with screen calls turned off. The phone rings and I decline, then it rings again. If I pick up the second time, it's not the person, it's an automated system asking if I want to send them to voicemail. I assume that I can listen to the voicemail, but I'm not interested in that.
I just upgraded from the Hero with the same set up and I did not have this problem with Google Voice. Have you guys figured anything out? When I turned off the Google Voice voicemail the issue went away, but I'm hooked on the transcription function of Voice.
Thanks!

Calls won't go to voicemail.

Calls I receive just disconnect after four rings. I tested it myself with a different phone. Some apportionment messages I get will just keep repeating the calls over and over again as there is no answer. I had an voicemail app installed, YouMail, but getting rid of it doesn't seem to help. I don't know what to do. Maybe a setting was changed on the phone but I don't remember. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Try going into your dialer, settings, calls, and then voicemail. It may not be setup.

If you used YouMail then you need to switch back to your standard provider voicemail service by not forwarding calls to You Mail anymore.
