Today, Verizon announced it will implement Visual Voice Mail on the LG Voyager. It will cost $2.99 a month per line. A similar visual voice mail option is available for Sprint’s Samsung Instinct and AT&T’s Apple iPhone, that are available without monthly charges, notes CNet’s Crave.

The Visual Voice Mail system implemented by Verizon is the same as the others; it has a simple interface that lets you pick and choose which voice mail message to listen to, plus you can delete, reply to, and forward each message. The Visual Voice Mail service is powered by Alcatel-Lucent and Comverse.

Alcatel-Lucent is deploying their 5150 Messaging Applications Broker (MAB) to deliver voice, text and video messages through the intuitive visual interface. Visual Voice Mail eliminates the need to dial-in and listen to messages in sequential order.

You can reply with a voice message of your own if the other person is also a Verizon Wireless customer and view certain information like date and time of receipt, message duration, and more, in order to prioritize your response. Verizon lets you store up to 40 messages for 40 days.

It’s currently available only on the LG Voyager but Verizon expects to offer Visual Voice Mail on more devices, but they haven’t said which ones yet.
