I just bought the inspire 4g today and now my voicemail just gets a busy tone, i think it's because i'm still on my iphone visual voice mail unlimited plan. I also tried to get google voice to work as a work around but that gets a busy tone too. If anyone remotely knows how to fix this without calling att please let me know because i don't want to take the chance of losing my unlimited plan. Thanks for all your help in advance.
You won't lose your unlimited if you call ATT. I called today to be switch to the unlimited 4g and they told me I was grandfathered into the unlimited. So I kept it.
Thanks that makes me feel so much better.
Just call customer care to fix your voicemail. When you switched it removed the iPhone visual voicemail but does not automatically add the standard voicemail feature on the phone. Care can take care of it in a snap. The downside si if you had any messages saved they are now lost.
to get a real visual voicemail like on the iphone download youmail (free) in the android market. It works like a charm
I use Phone Fusion Voicemail+. It is the bomb.
i had this same problem, they said the voicemail never got swiched from iphone's visual voicemail package.
Google Voice. Topic over.
I'm having the same problem. I'm going to call ATT tomorrow and get it fixed.

Just wondering if anybody has been able to get visual voicemail working on the Infuse? Can't search too well from this phone app so my apologies if this has been beaten to death before. Would love to get this working on the wife's Infuse.

att doesn't offer it other than the iPhone but Google offers Google voice which you setup from the gmail site and download the app. and there is also youmail but for youmail you have to pay for transcriptions to make it readable. if money wasn't an object the youmail transcription service is much better than Google voice but Google voice is free. good thing att doesn't surcharge for call forwarding, but the length of the forwarded call is counted towards minutes as far as I understand.
for Google voice you may need to find a dialer code on the gmail site and punch it into the phone. sometimes it wont set its self up.
Try PhoneFusion voicemail +. It is free
I can vouch for Google voice. Its pretty cool to have a widget with your voicemail on your homescreen that you can check every now and then. However the transcription really isnt that great. Most of the time it will give wrong words or "this message cannot be transcribed at this time" message. i would try youmail out. Its free if you dont want the transcription service. so you can still see the calls missed and listen to the messages on-demand. which is just as good as gv. last i checked thought the interface on the free version had ads.
I have used YouMail for a while and I love it. Haven't tried anything else though because YouMail does everything I need very well.

all the at&t LTE android devices, GSII Skyrocket, HTC Vivid, etc... all now have visual voicemail
For Rogers users, they have announced a visual voicemail service for android. Granted, the initial support is for a two or three phones but the potential is there.
"Rogers customers who have an iPhone have been using Visual Voicemail for a while now. Rather than dialling into your voicemail all the time, the service gives you the ability to listen (via audio file) or read (via text) the voice messages people leave on your device. New details have emerged that indicates Rogers will be expanding the service to BlackBerry and Android devices, plus any handset that supports picture messaging. The app is called “Visual Voicemail Plus” and is scheduled to be available in February – the main feature will give owners the option to save a voicemail message for an unlimited period of time. However, there are some limitations at launch – BlackBerry users who have the Bold 9700 and Torch 9800 will be the only supported devices. As for Android devices, the Sony Ericsson X10 and the Samsung Galaxy Q are the chosen ones."

My Infuse on T-Mobile EDGE has visual voicemail.
sent from my darky's infuse on t-mo w/ wifi calling
google voice is excellent. much better than any other offerings ive seen. ive been using it for about 2 years now. text transcriptions are great and they dont delete your messages after 14 days.
someone on the htc vivid thread had said you can use visual voice mail on any phone by changing the apn or someting.. the instructions there, my phones always had visual til this one.
Too bad Google Voice is not available in Canada.

Ok, I have a question. My daughter has an iPhone and I was helping her set up her email on it when she got a phone call during the process. I did not answer it, but when they left a message I was very impressed by the way the iPhone displayed the message on the phone. there was actually a list of all of her v-mails and it listed who they were from and what not.
I am sure we do and I just don't know it, but do we have anything like this?
There are a few apps out there, but many will probably recommend using google voice and activating the voicemail transcribe feature.
Isn't that Visual Voicemail? If so AT&T charges extra for it.

That is called Visual Voicemail. AT&T had this set up exclusively for iPhone since iPhone's inception into AT&T, and to make data mandatory. They haven't expanded to other phones, yet.
Google voice can do something like this, and it doesn't set the popup in the middle of the screen, it shows up in the dropdown bar.
I'll post a pic shortly.
What you are looking for?
Google voice is free for voicemail. I use it. AT&T does have a visual voicemail option that you can add to your plan, but why do that when GVoice is free. (Note: I am using CM7, so idk what difference it'll make if you are on a stock ROM)
there is visual voicemail on the newest phones as far as what I've heard. Google voice is free and att doesn't surcharge for forwarded calls. att isn't so bad. for the money you get coverage and little perks like this. try Google voice on sprint see what the phone bill comes out to be with all the forwarded calls.
Thank you all! That is pretty much what I am looking for.

Funny thing is that we have Sprint Voicemail. It's an app that downloads the voicemails to your phone and uses the data of your phone. but rememember, I have unlimited data so it works perfect. It's included in the unlimited data. plus, forwarding is including in most of the plans. So, if you're on Sprint, there's no need for GVoice.
Just thought I would chime in with a nice little deal. If you're anything like me you hate paying 12 bucks for CID and VM. Well thanks to youmail now available on the rogers network, you will never have to pay that again. Top it off with the who are you app and now you have free VM and CID. Been using it for about a week and it works great. Enjoy!
I've be looking at my options since Verizon announced a price increase for the people who still have unlimited data plans. I was seriously considering getting the Moto X Pure, and moving over to Straight Talk. The hold up is that I've seen conflicting reports about being able to use your GV for voicemail on ST system. The most recent information says that they do not support Conditional Call Forwarding (CCF) on any network they use, Verizon or ATT I have seen where people have said they have been able to use it for their voicemail with GV installed also on the phone, and that seems to have the most success on the ATT network. Unfortunately, those posts are older, like 2013/2014, so things may have changed. I have seen, and their website says it will work, that you can use Youmail if you have an ATT sim on ST.
I'm wondering if anyone who has Straight Talk is using Google Voice for their voicemail, and how they got it to work. Also it's important to know what network you are using, a ATT sim or a Verizon sim.
Thank you.
