Hey everyone,
Some big news out of Sprint today in terms of voice mail and call forwarding options.
As many of you know, Sprint is one of the only carriers to charge call forwarding rates for all calls, except those to its own voice mail service. That current rate is $0.20 per minute. That means that any calls that are forwarded to another mobile, office, home, or virtual phone for any reason… even if the line was busy, or no answer there was a cost for that.
Today Sprint announced that it would be doing away with that charge, and offering the “Busy” or “No Answer” Call Forwarding options to its customers without charge. That means that now you can forward your calls to a 3rd party voice mail service provider of your choice, like Google Voice, or Call Wave, or one of the many others out there. It also means that if you want unanswered calls to your mobile to ring you at home or the office, you can do that too. This is particularly valuable for those people who live in fringe coverage areas, or simply dont have many minutes to spare for calls while near the convenience of a land line.
