Samsung needs to have their version of voicemail app. The carrier version change without effort between companies. I was surprised my unlocked version didn't have visual voicemail.

      Samsung does have visual voicemail and I just sent them feedback on it because they want permission for everything on my phone, and are trying to force their garbage restrictions on " well being " BS. Just let me read the stupid voicemail already. Just did the update of software yesterday and I am greatly regretting it. 🤬🤬 I forgot to say I have the Samsung s25FE phone. I regret buying it.

      Why do you regret buying the S25 FE?
      I have one and like the device and never had a issue with it.

      For years, I used my carrier (Xfinity) visual voicemail but it no longer supports newer devices. I tried Samsung VVM but found it was only visual in the sense of showing me a written list of recorded messages, with no transcription unless I subscribed to a premium version. I then used a third party VM app for several years, and only recently discovered that Samsung VVM is working fully for me, including transcription. I don't know if this is because I bought an unlocked S26 directly from Samsung or because I'm on OneUI 9, but it works.

      That's interesting on your Xfinity visual voicemail issue. I switched to Xfinity about a month ago with my unlocked S25 FE. The visual voicemail from Xfinity works great on my phone.

      Even showing you a list of calls without transcription is useful.  I still allows you to listen to your messages in the order you want.  Granted, the transcript makes it easy to determine spam from friendly, but most of the time I can determine that by just deleting vm from numbers I do not recognize.  For years I have used T-Mobile's vvm app and all I had was the list of calls. Since they recently updated my phone plan, I started seeing the transcripts, makes it super easy to know which calls to delete, but I had no problem without the transcript.  If I had a doubt about the vm, I'd listen to like the first three words and then delete.
