Just an email from them saying the App for Ireland will be available in the app store from late tomorrow morning.

abouttobebanned · 05-09-2010 9:53am

naasrd · 05-09-2010 9:59am

An app for use with voicemail.

Had a read of the link, but still a bit confused. So can this be used with normal voicemail that you dial 171 for? Or is it a separate voicemail service?

guil · 05-09-2010 11:01am

yeah ya set it up and it gets ur voicemails and can email them to u as text or an mp3

culabula · 05-09-2010 12:18pm

Yes, on the website it is no longer saying "coming soon" but is still not in the AppStore -nor can the US/UK version be configured for Ireland.

culabula · 06-09-2010 12:40pm

Still no sign of it

Sorry, thought of that as clicked 'submit. Think the term rhymes with 'plonker'.

Not at all. In the email they said late Monday morning. I'm guessing any new app comes online in the app store in Californian time...so maybe 2, 3pm?

Well, they are UK based and I have seen apps enter the AppStore at all hours of the day and night.

Anyway, if it's any consolation it works really well!

Could be later again. Remember the keynote that revealed the iPhone 4. Started at 10am their time but it was 6 pm here

Ya i looked at the videos and stuff and not sure what the advantage is? I use both the iphone messaging app and jelly sms - can it integrate the whole lot? Is there a charge for the service?

This is for voicemail. Free of charge but I'd say a version with some extras is on the way.

corklad32 · 06-09-2010 2:57pm

Ah right - but what can it give you extra i don't really understand it?

Cheers

decies · 06-09-2010 3:25pm

Am with three so is it my own personal number you sign up with or three voicemail number

3 charge for voicemail, it's free with this and it can also do a few other little bits and bobs.

is this only on the US store?

akadesign · 07-09-2010 2:39pm

So when is this getting released?

No, in the UK store as well. I use it all the time for both 3UK and giffgaff and it works a treat. Wish_to_heck_they'd_pull_their_finger_out.

I wonder what's going on with it? I feel such a plonker now for starting the thread.

Well, hardly, because they backed it up themselves by removing the legend coming soon from the Irish section of their site.

Any connection with LaboUr Day yestre'en in the Yewnited States?

You could be on to something. Usually I get an update or two on an iPad or iPhone app but there's been nothing since Sunday. I wonder...?

Well, the MobileMe iDisk has just been updated.

Thanks to the keen eyes of fbradyirl, Hullomail have been spotted on Twitter apologising for the launch of the Irish app, which they claim is ready but which will take another 48hrs.

Great, now I can stop my hourly visit to the app store!

corklad32 · 13-09-2010 10:37am

For those who get free voicemail is there much extra that this app gives? Any advice would be appreciated. I've read a few reviews and am a little confused. When they send you the mp3 of your voicemail i presume you can play it discretely as in it's not on speaker? Are there much benefits to the app? Anyone know when it will be available?

Cheers

I use it all the time with my 3UK and giffgaff SIMs: in the case of the latter it avoids an 8p charge everytime someone deposits voicemail.

As it works very like visual voicemail, you can choose which, if any, you want to listen to and if you're in a crowded place, you can leave that to later. It provides you with discretion.

Your voicemails can also be sent to you as email.

It also offers "hullos" -short little voice clips which may be sent between users.

I am very happy with this app and as both O2 IRL and 3IRL charge for voicemail, according to plan, I am very anxious for the Irish flavour to be released.

It is odd and frustrating the delay. I think it was on Twitter last week they mentioned a difficulty with a 3rd party, I wonder if 3 are putting a spanner in the works?
