For Visual Voicemail

For Visual Voicemail try Google Voice. I just set it up and its free on sprint as long as you don't automatically send the person to voicemail.

It says short wait

I signed up several times and NO INVITE lol...

By short wait they mean "please allow 5 to 6 weeks for delivery"

Thanks for the invite guys!!

I also signed up a while ago and never recived a invite via email. But i installed it on 2.1 99.9999% and it worked. Download and try and if not Wait the 2 or 3 weeks until its Official time.

could someone explain setup to me? I've got it, but I don't know how to use my sprint # for voicemail.
It's telling me to dial *7 and my google voice number but it says the feature code was invalid...

[Q] VOIP

Hello beautiful XDA community! How is everyone doing on this fine valentines? I hope well! Since I dont have a valentine, I thought I would spend tonight with my most closest thing to me these days..... my tablet
Anyways all jokes aside, I want to use my vegan tablet to make phone calls over wifi... or even tether the connection from my samsung captivate galaxy S... is there any way to do so?
Like, I'd like to be able to call actual phone numbers and not "SIP"'s ... is that even possible? LOL, I installed a few apps, but the write ups are so damn confusing!
Thanks!!

CSipSimple + Sipgate + GV callback. Best solution i've found so far.

LOL, thanks!
I actually tried that route a while back, and the activation code that sipgate sent to me doesn't work... LOL, I even cut and paste it from the email they sent me and their website says it's invalid.
I have actually sent their support team an email a few times regarding this, but now one ever responds ... and when you call their support number it always goes to a voicemail with no call back.
LOL, just my luck heh? Wanna share your activation code with me?

If you have a Google Voice account, try installing Sipdroid from market. When you run it, it'll ask if you want to create an account on pbxes.com. After that you can call out to phones from your Gtab.
If you go into your GV settings using a browser, you can receive calls.
That's what worked for me, but caveat is I had stuff like the GV app already installed before I tried this, and I'm not 100% sure if anything other than Sipdroid and a GV account are needed.
Good luck,
Jim

I may be doing something wrong, because whenever I try to make a phone call from sipdroid it will attempt to make the call, then just end it.

Well, it looks like I got something set up right... cause the little log in is now registering with a green light. THe problem now is that when I try to make a phone call, it tells me that the call can not be placed at this time... Any idea of what I can look into and why it's not allowing me?
TIA!!!

Are you using Sipgate or pbxes?
The issue with your sipgate code may be that it expires after something like four hours. I ran into that and I just re-did my registration and got a new one sent out to me.
I didn't go with PBXes because I saw something about it requiring my Google password. I'm not down with handing that out in the open like that. So I stuck with SipGate and I've had no problems.
Let us know with service you are using and I'm sure someone can give you some assistance.

Thanks for your reply! I am using sipgate with with pbxes... am I totally doing it wrong?

Im sorry, Im actually using sipdroid with PBXes... sorry for the confusion.

Install Google Voice. Install Sipdroid from Market. don't go to the pbxes.org website and create an account; let Sipdroid do that. (My big error). Sipdroid will make an account on pbxes.org on your behalf. Use sipdroid to make call.
I now need to figure out how to use my bluetooth headset to be the microphone. Other than that it worked out of the box. Although I apparently sounded like I was "underwater".

I had done the same thing as you going to the pxbes.org site and setting up an account. I couldn't get it to work. I went back to the sipdroid app, started it up (make sure your network connection is working obviously) and it set up the pxbes.org account automagically. It worked for there. Asked me my GV number, my google account password (it needs to log in to your account to forward calls). I didn't try calling in only calling out but that worked fine. Proof of concept for me as I would just use my cellphone or landline but it did work.

2.01 beta is what I have, and it automatically created a obsession acct. I think you had to set things up manually before, when they had the older version. There are some webpages that go through the steps, but they were too confusing to me, until they added the acct creation.
BTW I get an FC when I try to start the dialpad. Is that working fir anyone?

Google Voice users

Is there a way to use Google voice solely for voicemail and not for voicemail and text? I had it set up like this on my Epic prior to the Google and Sprint thing but now it can't figure it out. Using Google for text requires a data connection and with the spotty data I've been getting I don't want to use Voice as well as other things about text thru Voice that I don't like.

Yes - I just did this today. You have to go online to your Google Voice settings and unlink your Sprint number. Then on the left side, you'll have an option like "Upgrade Google Voice" or something similar. Choose the option to create a new Google Voice number (and not link to mobile phone). It will run you through the steps and give you a new number to use for voicemail only.
I then went into the voicemail settings on the phone and edited the voicemail number to the new one Google gave me.
Sorry for the vague description. I don't remember the exact steps since I did it over 12 hours ago. Hope this helps!

Thanks man!!

Thank you. I hated having my texts stored online and thanks to your steps I now can use Handcent SMS again. I tried using someone else's instructions and it didn't work, but now thanks to this I no longer have my Sprint phone # as my Voice #. I do like getting my Voicemail through Google Voice, but texts for me are more private and I don't need them flooding my GV inbox nor do I need them stored online for anyone Google chooses to let see them.

I'm trying to create a how-to. Am I correct that you:
- Did not use Google Voice before you got this phone.
- Set up Google Voice directly through the phone app.
- Were able to disintegrate Google Voice from your Sprint number, and request a new Google Voice number after the fact?
Also, did it say something like "You only have 30 days to revert your Sprint number?"

one reason i like to use the vzw app is i know if i say forget my phone or my battery is dead i can still call and check my voicemail from any phone i want. Not sure but i wouldnt think google voice would have that capability, if my understanding is correct when it normally sends the call to voicemail it instead sends the caller to your google voice instead so it would not be on the vzw server for checking from other phones.

double post sorry

yup absolutely. you get a visual list of voicemails within the google voice app, just like vvm. press play and you get your message. it also transcribes the message for you so you can READ your voicemail

you CAN check from other phones. thats another great thing google voice does for FREE. all you do is call your google voice number from any phone, enter your pin, and there are your messages stop paying verizon pleeeeease. can do everything for free. any more questions?

Don't forget you can check your VM online as well. Comes in handy in a pinch.

well either way i like VVM and here is a working gingerbread apk

This thread is very interesting since users of an android phone do not know how insanely good Google voice is. The amount of customizing options is just pure insanity. Can have certain greetings for certain numbers, special one only for your wife. Can setup groups, work greeting, friends greeting, etc.
You can even break in to the call and listen live while someone leaves you a voicemail, and the break in and answer as they were recording.
You can record your calls.
Unknown numbers can be screened so they have to state their name before your phone rings then you hear their name when you answer the call.
Its pure insanity, and someone would rather use the Verizon version? Teehee's...

vvm doesnt always work,it would record but give an error

google voice, which is FREE, beats out ANY pay service. i guess enjoy wasting your money you people who are stuck in your ways X_X. i wish i had enough extra money a month to set on fire... us that post good things about gvoice are just trying to help you all save cash, but if you want to spend for no reason, then by all means, spend.

Why isn't there a hack for VVM? and why does vzw charge for it? I'd like to like my Google exposure and not use G. Voice. Is there a native option?

limit your exposure?...are you on facebook? youre more exposed already.

Do you know of a good tutorial for using GVoice to replace Verizon's voicemail, without eating your VZW "anytime" minutes?

absolutely. you dont have to use any minutes to check your voicemail if you dont want to. you use the Google Voice app. it uses data.
edit: actually, i think i originally misunderstood. i think it will still use minutes when the call is forwarded to google. but if the person only leaves a short message, should only use 1 minute. but thats only for someone leaving a voicemail. sending txts and checking your voicemail is done with data.
first, of course, you need to sign up for a google voice account. i forget if its invite-only still or not..just check google.com/voice. after you have an account, see this faq for instructions on setting google voicemail as the default for your phone.
edit2: also see the post after mine. has some good instructions.

Sprint Visual Voicemail App

Hi,
Does anyone know if a Sprint Visual Voicemail App exists for the Nexus 5? I know I can use Google Voice, but I just don't like it. I have tried one 3rd party application, YouMail, but I didn't like that one either, it seemed to "heavy".
T-Mobile has a NICE visual voicemail system, I really like theirs.
I was thinking Sprint would have their own dedicated one, but that Sprint chat support has no idea what I am talking about and keep giving me weird directions to just setup regular voicemail, not visual voicemail.
Thanks in advance,
Greg

Most of the ones in the play store, like Visual Voicemail, requires you to set up call forwarding for missed calls to their VOIP services. I felt uncomfortable with companies I never heard of having access to all my voicemails, contact info, etc.

Somehow I doubt Sprint will work on anything since they already support free Google Voice integration using your native Sprint number. So, unofficially, Google Voice is your Sprint Visual Voicemail. With the GV app, voice mail even integrates in to your call log.

This. Its kind of nice because you can listen to and scrub through voicemails, within the call app. however, I was a fan of my iphone's visual voicemail, which was nice because you just went into it and it listed all the voicemail you got. but the integration with google voice make it pretty spiffy, just not in the same aspect as having visual voicemail in its own spot.
OP, is there anything specific you don't like about google voice? if you log into your google voice account online, you can change settings and such. you can set it up to practically not even see google voice anymore, once the sprint integration with the phone app works for you.

Actually, if you open the GV app and select "Voicemail" from the top left drop down, Voicemail had it's own folder. The convince of also having full access to my voice mail and text messages on my phone, Nexus 7, and laptop, including bring able to send text messages from those devices makes GV worth it to me.

Yeah, I mean, I tried it. It just seemed to me, like Google was taking over my phone, IE the voicemail message, saying this Google subscriber canot come to the phone right now, I know I can customize that, but it made it seem like Google was taking the whole account of my phone and it just didnt sit well with me... Call me paranoid I guess :/
I liked the TMobile Visual Voicemail, its simplicity was nice, you just clicked on the voicemail, listened, done. Easy peasy

I personally dislike Google Voice for 3 reasons:
1) It's just flat out UGLY. The UI of the app is just not pleasant to look at and is in serious need of being updated to reflect Google's current design standards.
2) I don't like that it shows all my texts within the app. It makes no sense to me that they would even add texting functionality into a voicemail app. It's just totally unnecessary. I realize that I can disable SMS notifications in GV, but it's functionality that I don't want or need.
3) Why would I want to change my voicemail settings online and not within the app itself? It's completely inconvenient that I had to use a computer to remove the "press 1 to answer the g*dd*mn call" option that I found myself saddled with after activating GV for the first time. Ditto for the fact that I don't need an SMS message AND an email in addition to the GV notification when I get a voicemail, and the only option to change my notification settings is online. Why can't I just change all the settings right within the app?

I'll give you that. I'd still much rather be able to change all the settings right within the app.

I know OP asked about Sprint VVM and is aware of GV, but my experience with GV and the Nexus 5 has been very good. Sprint has a good arrangement with Google but i only use GV for VVM. If you skip the first prompt, tell it never to dial with GV, and then tell it to act as your VVM and confirm, it very much blends into the phone.
I get a notification with info and the option to play from the notification drop down. The VM plays via the dialer (stock dialer used to call/answer). You can delete it/call back etc via the dialer. I almost never find myself in the GV app at all, and when i do its the VM folder and looks basically like any other vmail. My sprint VM message plays for the caller too.
At first i was very angry i couldnt get the sprint VVM app, but after about a day or 2 i was actually liking the integration into the dialer. Now i think id be bothered now by the Sprint VVM app.
As others pointed out my VM's follow me to other devices or just about any browser as well. Additionally its very easy to download your messages for backup (altho i think you can download them via the sprint VVM too).
If i have the time later maybe ill post creen shots of the step by step setup to get things the way i have it.
