Boost Mobile offers two ways to manage your voicemail. You can dial in to your voicemail box to listen to your messages or you can view them on-screen and manage messages using the Visual Voicemail app. 

With Visual Voicemail, your contacts display as you have them in your phone so you know at a glance who’s leaving the message. You can make notes on messages, save them directly to your phone, and even reply to the sender via text message.
