Sharing Messages via Email

If you have subscribed to Voicemail to Text transcription, you can share a transcription of a received voice mail as an email.

Before You Begin

Before you can compose an email message in Visual Voicemail, you must configure your phone to access at least one of your email accounts. If you have not yet done so, this can be accomplished in your email Inbox.

(Press your device's Home button and tap to open your email Inbox.)

Sharing an Email

Follow these steps to share an email:

1.   While in the Message Playback screen, tap the Share menu option . You will be presented with a list of message forward types.

Note: This list and its Share via Mail or Gmail options will appear only if the message being shared was transcribed by the Voicemail-to-Text service. It will not be available otherwise.

2.   Select Mail or Gmail. If you tap Mail, the Visual Voicemail application will ask you to select from a number of email exchange protocols and third-party providers, including Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, Windows Live ® Hotmail ®, or other POP3/IMAP accounts.

3.   Select the type of account you wish to use. The email composition screen appears. The text of your transcribed message will be pre-populated in the body of the message.

Note: If you have not configured your device with the settings for your email account, you will be prompted to do so.

4.   If you want to make any changes to the transcription prior to sending, tap the transcribed text and use the on-screen keyboard to make any desired changes.

5.   If you want to add a subject line to the email, tap the Subject box and use the on-screen keyboard to enter the subject.

6.   To specify the recipient of the text message, do one of the following:

●   Tap the To field and then use the on-screen keyboard to enter the phone number of the mobile phone to which you wish to send the text message.

●  Select a contact from your contact book.

Note: You can also cc (copy) or bcc (blind copy) recipients. Press your device's Menu button and select the Show Cc/Bcc option. This adds Cc and Bcc boxes below the To box.

7.   When you are finished making changes to this screen, tap Send to send the email.
