Confirmed: AT&T getting visual voice-mail for Windows Phone

For many who updated to Mango in the last day, especially if you were on AT&T, you may have noticed the lack of visual voice-mail. We covered how this was a carrier decision--or rather a technical hurdle they had to overcome in order to get it to work.

While AT&T did not launch Mango with visual voice-mail, the door is certainly open for them and others to enable it at some point. Indeed, that seems to be the case with AT&T who in response to a Tweet asking when will they enable VVM, responded:

"We're working to offer that as soon as we can, and will share more info here when we have it!"

While that still won't satisfy everyone, you have to be just a little happier knowing that AT&T does plan to offer VVM for our phones in the near future.
