Compatible U.S. carriers with web voicemail access?

[Zebulon Walton]

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.

Try Mint Mobile. It is owned by T-Mobile and Mint has a special of one year unlimited at $15/month. You have to pay up front and after taxes less than $210.  You get a week to test drive it.

Maybe two years ago, Mint worked on my Pinephone without any problems.  I'll probably turn it back on after I move from Manjaro to not Manjaro.

Thanks! I looked at Mint Mobile but I could not find anything about accessing voicemail via a web browser on their system, searches just turn up accessing voicemail directly from the phone.

This Reddit thread from about 2 years ago claims it's not possible:

On the other hand, it looks like when signing up directly with T-Mobile they do provide web access to voicemail:

I'll take a closer look at Mint, maybe contact their support to get a definitive answer.
