AT&T is planning on releasing an updated OS for the BlackBerry Bold tomorrow. However, the code for Visual Voicemail is in the system today. So if your Bold has the VVM icon, you can call your handy-dandy AT&T phone rep and if you ask nice enough, you should be able to get the service added to your handset today. BGR confirmed this with a Bold owner who now gets to roll with Visual Voicemail on his device.
All Bold owners on AT&T will be able to get the service for free and it will allow 40 voicemails to be stored for 14 days. Voicemails can be forwarded as an MMS to other users or to an email address. Phone numbers on your VVM inbox can be stored to your address book. You can set up your voicemail greeting directly from the application, and you can archive messages on the phone's memory on to a microSD card.
If you were bold enough to call AT&T to try and get Visual Voicemail added to your BlackBerry 9000 today, let us know how it went.
