That's the thing about Windows Phone: the Messaging hub removes the old division between texts, IMs, social messages. The other hubs do the same for the other functionality, making the whole thing simple yet powerful.
Messaging is separated into two tabs - threads and online. Online shows you who's online with the people you've talked to most recently on top. This makes finding someone to talk to very easy. Threads is where this hub's impressive features kick in. A new thread is created for each person you start a chat with. Messages are displayed as speech bubbles and a label on the left shows the type of message - text, Facebook or Live Messenger. Labels are only displayed when the conversation moves across platforms to avoid clutter.
You can choose which service to use to send a reply and the text box will remind you of what you're currently using with a message like "chat on Facebook".
Individual messages can be copied only the whole message , they can be deleted or forwarded. Whole threads can be deleted too. The visual voicemail functionality is also part of the OS but its availability is dependent on your plan and the carrier.
It works as expected, letting you read your voicemail messages instead of listening to them. Windows Phone 8 offers a unified inbox for email, a feature introduced with 7. You can link multiple inboxes and unlink them individually later , so that you have a single place to check for new messages.
Linking several inboxes will also automatically combine their live tiles. You can browse individual folders for each account, which lets you view messages from only one email account even if it's linked. Conversation view lists emails between you and a contact chronologically, grouping them by subject.
It's the display style that Gmail popularized and is the best way to keep track of a conversation over email. Each email conversation is listed with a subject and number of messages, plus how many of those are new.
A tap on a conversation expands it to show the messages and a line from each message. You can tap on an individual message to read it, as well as skip messages back and forward to navigate the conversation. You can't swipe between the messages though. Finally, you can search your entire mail for individual emails - it's a very useful feature, especially for those with busy inboxes.
The layout remains the same across all WP devices and the only options you have are changing the language of the keyboard and resetting the dictionary that displays word suggestions. Luckily, Windows Phone 8 has way more supported languages than its predecessor.
There's no haptic feedback and there's no way of enabling it. Selecting text does take some getting used to. You hold your finger over some text for a second or two and then release. The text area gets highlighted and then you can move the beginning and end cursors to adjust how much text you want to select. My opinion? Give one of the new 8. It may not tempt you away from what you're used to but at least you'll get a feel for if it's for you or not.

Unlocking code not received. I then asked him again to please transfer me to a supervisor. The Tech then placed me on hold again and after 10 minutes came back on the line and told me that the XL dual sim did not support visual voice mail. I asked him if Microsoft was offering a work around and he told me he did not know.
I then told him that I now really needed to talk to a supervisor. He then hung up on me. I asked for my case to be escalated and was told that I would be contacted. I will let you know when they let me know anything different.
I am tired!!! Edit to recap: I got a flash for any MS people looking at this thread: this is a solid rocket booster, platform killing problem because I and a WHOLE lot of other users are going to leave WP if a flagship only comes out every 30 months and when it comes out, it regresses one of the most useful features on the phone.
I have the same question Report abuse. Details required :. Cancel Submit. Previous Next. Visual Voicemail is a feature provided by your carrier,. Resetting the phone will not change this. How satisfied are you with this reply? Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site.
