Visual Voicemail messages stay on your phone until you delete them. You can also download messages to your phone, forward to email, or save to an SD card.

After you've listened to your voicemail message, it's automatically saved to the VVM app.

3. Enter the file name.
4. Select Save to copy the message to the memory card.

Send a voicemail by email

Check out Voicemail for another way to save messages.

If you've listened to your voicemail and deleted it, it can't be retrieved! There is no way to retrieve the deleted voicemail message once it's been moved to the trash. When Visual Voicemail messages are deleted on the phone, the voicemail system will delete the message when the voicemail system syncs with the phone. Syncing happens when new messages are received or when you synchronize Visual Voicemail using the Menu in the Visual Voicemail Inbox.

The migration will automatically keep any voicemail messages, as long as the Visual Voicemail App is updated to the latest version. Don't clear the app cache or data, this will delete all of your voicemail messages, until after you've made sure you are on the latest app version.
