  • That's great.
    Is there a way to hear my voicemails using my iPad?
  • Will voicemails come up in a list like that for everyone? Or is that the "visual voicemail" or whatever it was called that not everyone has? If you just have regular voicemail does a keypad come up so you can go through the options?
