Anyone know of U.S. carriers compatible with the Pinephone that have access to voicemail via a computer using a web browser? So far the only one I've come up with is T-Mobile which is a bit pricey. (T-Mobile does have inexpensive pay-as-you go plans but it looks like you can't bring over your existing phone number. I've had my cell phone number since 1992 and don't really want to change it.)
The reason: Just a few days ago my carrier AT&T discontinued their voicemail notification feature which I have used for decades - it notified an external device (pager) when a new voicemail arrived. This was a legacy feature from the early 1990s that probably nobody provides any more. However I would still like a way to check for voicemail that does not involve turning on and using the phone. (I leave the phone off most of the time for privacy as I have no wish to be tracked 24/7). Although possible to retrieve voicemail from a land line that is an increasingly rare thing to find when not at home.
