That's odd, Android transcribes my messages by default
Seems to heavily depend on your provider. Some work with the standard phone apps, some have their own apps, but most don't seem to offer it at all here in Germany. One even sends you an audio MMS instead and just calls that "Visual Mailbox". It's crazy to me that such a basic and useful feature still isn't just a standard thing on all phones.
My husband and I have the same provider but different brands of phone. I have visual voicemail, he doesn't and my phone is the older one. It seems like Samsung and Apple are the only ones to even offer the app so far.
It depends on your service provider. In Canada they charge for it. Last time I checked it was around $7/month.
How do you make it do that mine's not doing that. And I'm on the latest version of Android.
Using the Google phone app, one of the tabs is voicemail and it automatically converts it to text.
Mine also allows you to see each voicemail in your acct inbox and play/delete/call back each one like a song on a media player.
There's still the cell providers limit on how many voicemails are allowed though. Better to use Google voice and have unlimited voice mail
