Post your comments for AT&T, iPhone Customers Angry Over Voicemail Delays here

[jtozer]

I've been a user of YouMail as an alternative to AT&T's vm for a while now (even pre-iPhone, although they DO have an App) - highly recommended and no outages or delays as yet

So this is a problem iphone users have been having for two years....but you are reporting on it now.
Clearly, delayed voice messages are not solely the province of AT&T.
My girlfriend and I, for example, have been on Verizon for years and constantly bicker about one or the other NOT returning voice messages. It's because they didn't arrive.Sometimes for days. It happens, not all the time but enough. Should you write an article about that?

At least 50 times in the past 2 years I've had my iPhone sitting right next to me, and a voice mail message pops up. The phone never rang. I call the person back, I get their Voice mail. I call them later to confirm they got my voice mail, "no, I never got it." They call me two days later (my phone doesn't ring) and they leave a message, "hey, just got your message from 2 days ago"
Yeah it's been a problem for years. They charge more than my Cable company AND Electricity bill combined and they can't even get a call to me because they don't spend the money they make on my bill back investing in their own infrastructure.

I started noticing this last weekend (Jul 24th). I've had half a dozen calls that have shown up 3-9 hours late since then. I did one test with someone, and that worked fine (iPhone to iPhone).

Yeah, youmail . . . NOT. No push. This is the whole point, one of the reasons I wanted the iPhone in the first place - supposedly the visual voicemail alerts ME when I have a voicemail. Text notification is not adequate as, since I have noted in the other thread on this subject, text messages are also often very long delayed by the Damned Death Star. Can't wait for another company to offer iPhone. A little competition will do the dastards good.
