Visual voice mail is one of the best features of phones such as the iPhone and Storm. It allows you to see voice mails in a list and pick the one you want to listen to rather than calling in and listening to one at a time in the order they were left. YouMail believes that everyone should have visual voice mail, and launched a new, free visual voice mail service for BlackBerry devices.The product is called Visual Voicemail Plus. It provides access to a user's voice mail in-box directly from the screen of the BlackBerry without requiring the user to dial in. It packages together useful features such as the ability to scroll through incoming voice mail messages to see information such as caller name, time of call, and length of message; play voice mails by clicking on them; the ability to share and forward voice mails as an email or post to a blog or social networking sites using a cut-and-paste feature; and the ability to delete, archive or save voice mails.

Along with the visual voice mail service, YouMail also offers a voice mail transcription service. It will transcribe voice mails into text and then e-mail the message to you. This will let users check their voice mails at times and in places where it might otherwise be rude or unacceptable to make a phone call.

Lastly, Visual Voicemail Plus for BlackBerrys also ties into YouMail's desktop and Web clients. Voice mails will be available online, and users can set personalized greetings for each caller.

The service is free to download and use. It will work on most BlackBerrys running OS 4.3 and up. Right now, the service only works on the AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless networks. Sprint is not supported.
