Guide to Visual Voicemail Setup on BlackBerry Torch

Visual Voicemail is an integrated application on the BlackBerry Torch. It offers an alternative to accessing and managing your voicemail activity on the phone. In addition to the usual voicemail features, you can also view in text format a list of important voicemail messages quickly, and in any order you choose. Vital information such as the sender’s name, length of the voicemail message, the date and time can also be quickly reviewed.
