I doubt Verizon places importance on a competing feature or service, however Verizon does sometimes do similar features, but usually only in the free-app-feature area, like message apps. I assume you mean to ask will Verizon allow Google's VVM service in addition to their own, and you are referring to the transcription-service portion of the feature, since Verizon already has basic visual voicemail on postpaid accounts. There's a lot more to Visual Voicemail than most people think. Using Verizon's network, Vzw can implement their own visual vm service, while implementing a Google feature requires a lot more integration and company-cooperation.
