AT&T hits BlackBerry Bold users with visual voicemail

Hey, we knew this was coming -- but we're hearing murmurs that actual AT&T BlackBerry Bold owners are starting to get their visual voicemail updates rolling out to them. The voicemail features allow you to store up to 40 messages at a time, and add numbers to contacts from voicemail. We'll let you know all of the perks of software update v4.6.0.508 when we get it up and running on our own Bold, but hit the read link for AT&T's rundown (warning: it's a PDF).

I did the update, clicked the icon for visual voice mail, and was told I needed to call my wireless service provider. The rep I spoke with was very helpful, but she said that I was the first person to call asking about visual voice mail for the bold. She eventually had to call the dedicated "blackberry support" line to get everything wrapped up. In the end AT&t had to re-provision my blackberry. It works great now, its just too bad it didn't work our of the box. Also, you might want to have our imei number ready when you call them.

I turned it on myself in self service portal... it sends a text message to my BB which prompted a power cycle, and voila... no talking to reps
