Hey,
can anyone help me.
I have an unlocked XDA II and I would like to change the default voicemail number from 901 to 121, can somebody tell me where you change this settings.
Cheers
Gigi
Go to start/settings/phone then click services, click voice mail and sms, then click get settings, you can change it from there.
on XDA I : start -> settings -> phone -> services -> voice mail and sms
Hey
thanks for the reply but the one I would like to change is when your are in the active screen.
go to messaagging/voicemail
That is the one I want to change it is set to 901.
I would like to change it to the Vodafone one which is 121
Cheers
Gigi
I am also having trouble enterng the voicemail number.
Whenever I enter the voicemailnumber in the boxes you get after 'Get settings', a tap om 'ok' just gives me the message the information could not be updated to the network.
I reckon that is just the case, BUT these info (SMS messagecentre and voicemail number) should NOT be updated 'to the network'. These number just reside on the SIM.
Because no voicemailnumber is set-up, the default speed-dial (1-key) for voicemail, which cant be deleted, does not work either . . .
Does anyone have a clue how to enter a voicemailnumber ??
Found a solution, see my other thread:

Hi all!
I've a Touch Cruise. When in phone I used to continue press number 1 and it dials to my voicemail service.
But one day this didn't work anymore. I continue press 1 and nothing, but it works with direct dials 2 to 9... any clues?
I've seted the voicemail number...
Best,
Juan
Go into the phone application -
choose menu/options...
select services tab at the bottom
select Voice Mail and Text Messages and press the Get Settings button
make sure the Voice Mail: box has the correct number for your network's voice mail access.
thanks gadgetgaz,
I've already done it, and also deleted the number and re entered it, but it still do not work... any other clue?
best,
Juan
Does anyone know how to apply the voicemail password in a MIUI ROM?
When I got my first VM with this rom it said I didn't have a voicemail number saved on my sim card. I figured out how to add the VM number in the settings and I can now dial my VM at any time by pressing and holding 1. But it keeps asking for my password.
None of my other phones ever required a VM phone number to be manually entered let alone requiring a password each time I call... including my iPhone 3gs on Tmous and all other roms I've installed on my sensation
how did you figure out how to add your voicemail numbers?

The easiest way...
open up the dialer, tap the options key, settings, in Call Settings go down to Settings, Voicemail settings, Voicemail number... add your telephone number including area code.
I cant remember how to get to the Call Settings from the main Settings screen...
haven't been able to bypass the password entry either.
anyone have trouble setting google voice as their primary voicemail?
when i download the app, and go through the initial setup, i sign in with my account, hit "next", select "do not use google voice to make any calls", hit "next", hit "configure", then i select the "google voice" option instead of "my carrier" - and i get an error message that says "call settings error: failed to retrieve and save current forwarding number settings. do you want to switch to the new provider anyway?"
i select "yes", and then i get another error message that says "call settings error: forwarding number change unsuccessful. please contact your carrier if your problem persists".
anyone else run into this issue? even if you haven't run into this issue, any suggestions for how to get around it? i only want to contact my carrier as a last resort, because i doubt at&t is going to know how/care to solve this issue.
any advice would be appreciated - i only want to use google voice for my voicemail! thanks in advance.
Was having the same problem and found this - worked fine - but needed to reboot:
"Go into the settings at voice.google.com and deactivate your phone and reactivate it. The deactivate step will give a code to enter in your phone...skip that. Next, click on activate this phone and it will give you a string to dial...something like *004*yourgooglevoicenumber#"
Just go online and make sure your phone is active, then enter that string *004*1...#
at what point during this process are you rebooting? i still can't get it to work...

The first time I did it it didn't work - after reinstalling going through setup, letting it fail, and then doing the steps, and then rebooting it worked perfectly. So yeah, thanks!
I got it to work but it changed my voice mail greeting. Can I not have the generic AT&T greeting while using google visual voice mail.
could somebody please post the EXACT steps, step by step, of how they got it to work? i.e., when you reboot, when you uninstall/reinstall google voice, whether you set it up through google voice settings or call settings in the general phone settings...
i've tried every permutation of every post on here, and i still can't get it to work for some reason.
edit: turns out that, even though it says there was a failure in the forwarding, it still works... when i call my phone, my google voice mailbox picks up - and when i leave a message, google voice gets that message and gives me an alert... strange. people actually got it to setup where they didn't receive an error? it works, but my voicemail settings in the phone's call settings doesn't say "google voice" - it still says "my carrier".
I don't think he's being clear in his post, I don't think there is way to get it to work through the GV app. Dialing the *004*+1#* changes your voice mail provider on the phone, but doesn't change the dialogue box in the phone options, it will still say "My carrier".
I used the *004* method and my phone forwards to GV and notifies of voicemail just as you described. That's how it should work =)
I pretty much followed his post. I visited the GV settings online, deactivated the phone using the codes they gave me, uninstalled the application. Reinstalled the app, then activated the phone on the site using the codes they gave me and rebooted my phone. To test it I called myself and it went straight to google voice, then upon launching the application it went to the inbox instead of the set up. This worked for me, and I don't think I'm missing any steps.

this is what i needed to hear all along.
i was waiting for the settings to take effect in the call settings (i.e., switch from "my carrier" to "google voice"), but this isn't going to happen on our phone.
however, even though this doesn't happen, google voice still becomes your primary voicemail.
thanks for making that clear!
Thanks for the tips after spending 25 minutes on the phone with the att rep who didn't help one bit this worked perfectly.

Thanks for this!! Worked GREAT!
Sorry for not being clear - it still says my carrier - but works with GV... same thing on my phone.
I had the same issue as well.
Mine is now set to "Google Voice" under Voicemail Service. This is even after a reboot but GV voicemails were fine even when set as "My carrier". So not sure why it changed.
I just made sure under Settings -> Call -> Call forwarding that my GV number was set for
"Forward when busy"
"Forward when unanswered"
"Forward when unreachable"
When I select GV as Voicemail Service, it gave me the same error but it stayed. Strange. But GV has always worked for me no matter what it displayed. Long as it was set properly under the "Forward ..." options.
Thanks this was bugging me!

In case people didn't realize the Google Voice setup just sets up forwarding nothing else. Also forwarding is at the line level and not device. So if you take the SIM out and put it in an iphone or anything else it will continue going to Google Voice until you change it manually. Just FYI,

This is what I had to do.
Enter the code, *004*1(your GV# w/ area code)#
- That will change your "Call Forwarding" settings
To get the phone to dial your GV go to the Voicemail settings, select "Google Voice", and then immediately press the "Home" button. When you go back to look it should have stayed GV.

Still dialing ATT for voicemail after this trick. Calls go to google voice no problems, but I cannot get the voicemail number to change to google voice number. Do I have to restart phone? Any other tricks to try?

have you gone to voice.google.com and tried changing your text delivery settings there, under settings > voicemail & text?

have you gone to phone settings > call > voicemail > and made sure that the phone is actually saving Google Voice as your voicemail service and settings? mine would not actually save google voice in this field until after i had entered the call forwarding dial code mentioned above. took a few tries, but eventually i got it. also, try going though voice.google.com and making sure all your settings there match up with what you are trying to do.

I finally got my voicemail to dial the Google voice number. I had to check off the stock voicemail button, then manually change the voicemail number (only way I could access that number) to my Gv number...then recheck the Google voice button and I was good to go. Thanks for your help!

I tried this trick and it worked, which is to say now it shows GV as my vm provider and any voice messages left for me are going to my GV inbox.
However, I just cant seem to get the notification working. Despite the boxes being checked in settings on my phone, it does not let me know when I have a new vm.
Any suggestions please?
Having the same problem. My google voice number is still linked as my main Sprint number though, so I wonder if that's part of the problem. Right now, I can get calls to my google voice number on the one x, but I get no sms or voicemail notifications. Really close to just sticking with Sprint and getting the EVO but I'd like to make this work if I can.
When I try to change settings on the phone, I get a lot of those "thinking" animations on the phone and it never actually accesses the settings. This is currently happening when I was trying to change my google voice voicemail number. It's supposed to be my google voice number, right? And should it be 1+ area code or just start with area code? By default, it was set to my at&t phone number so I am trying to change it.

same problem here still. i've got everything setup and functioning, and I even get my email notification sent to my gmail account as i have setup via voice.google.com, but i still dont get the actual SMS or notifications from GV itself. I distinctly recall the notifications working immediately after setting it up because the first thing i did was test out how well the voice transcription worked, but they haven't worked at all in the past couple of weeks...hoping google and/or HTC are on this.
Hello,
I want to change voicemail number to another number but whenever I try to do that, it gives error that "voicemail number change unsuccessful", How to change number? is there any app which can do that? also please tell me how to change default APN settings to other carrier?
-- I have already tried "system root uninstall" to disable/remove/uninstall "voicemail apps" which come from Sprint but still it gives error.
Thank you
Not sure but you may get answers if you ask in the Q&A section.
Hi,
I have the same problem, but not answer.
If you have any solution please let me know.
Thanks and advance.
Go to settings Tap, Call Settings, and then tap Voicemail Settings. Tap Voicemail Number. Type the voicemail number into the box or edit the existing voicemail number
at least thats what google says. Im not on a stock ROM, so mine is different. Hope this helps
