anyone using this free service w/ the g2x? do you recommend it?
I used to use it. Then I discovered Google Voice and haven't looked back.

I use it in the rare instances I get voicemail and I have no problems so far on the g2x. You have to call T-Mobile and activate it on your account (it's free) .

Huh, I just checked it out in the market.. Check out the last dozen or so comments.. "Doesn't work on the g2x". Obviously it's working for you..
Working here.
I use Yap (search for it in the market). It's free and simple and works well. Very good speech to text recognition too.
youmail. love it, and it freaks my friends out when my voice mail knows their name...
Working fine here as well! The T-Mobile app that is.
I don't see why it shouldn't work?
For me it works out of the box, no activiation needed.
Just verified again that it works. Called my phone left a message and it instantly downloaded into the t-mobile visual voicemail app. I had to activate it a looong time ago with my G1. Only had issues with it on Nexus One.

+1 for Google voice. Not only does it work great for voice messages but also to send them to you via email. It has pretty good voice recognision and I also like that I can use it to call out over my Google Voice phone number, which I use for a personal business.
It's especially nice for calling someone who you know is avoiding your calls (lame friends) so they don't recognize the number.
Can't find visual voice mail that came stock like the iPhone 4?

are you talking about youmail, or visual voicemail plus?
arent those kind of the same thing as google voice?
I like google voice, you can check you voicemail online, it transcribes(usually poorly, but but better than spring vvm, when i had my epic.)
Google Voice.

you make a lot of threads >_>
yep google voice. sux that any visual voice mail on att not on the iphone is considered a forwarded call and thus uses your minutes but atleast it's not a surcharge like on sprint to use call forward or use sprints transcription service. i used youmail a while back because for some reason on a stock captivate rom that phone wouldn't set call forwarding up to the google voice number for the life of me. if would just fail for no reason. yet it worked for the youmail number. on an i9000 rom my captivate set up google voice just fine. go figure. what i will say is that toe youmail transcription service works better but it is not free, they may still have a free trial for it though.

there is no other platform that has the 3rd party app support and dev comunity. the iphone ui sux. they are constantly doing hacks to get andriod features but they are never as good. meego looks good but few phones have compatable bootloaders.
I can't forward my voicemail at&t number to GV voicemail. On GV app setup when I click configure voicemail and choose GV, it just bring me back to configure voicemail,
I remember when I had my iPhone 4 and some called be on my att number and was sent to the voice mail, the voicemail was forward to GV voicemail.

I had trouble too. Just came from iphone also. You need to log in on your PC not the Google voice app and set it up there Google.com/voice . You should be able to find where it says activate voicemail. Click it and it will give you a long number to call mine started with a *. Enter that # as if you where making a call and press send it will activate your account. I tried and tried to get it working from my phone but ended up going it this way. Good luck

I've been able to put it on all my g2x's 'til this fourth one. I can see one part of it at market, but the free one is no longer there. I paid for a six month subscription. I've ggogled it but can't find any info.
Also,at my library it is greying my g2x out, as if it's not compatable?
Anyone have the file they can share?Are existing customers affected by this?
I have it, just a library of shows available for download. Its not stream, your shows get downloaded through WiFi or 4G (just better off in wifi, why waste bandwith).
It has it's uses. I only use it to get Daily Show and Colbert. Other shows too but it will eat your SD memory so watch out.
In Market, the application still appears under My Apps. I have the app saved on Nandroid backup. Will suck if they did remove it but IDK.
I reinstalled it from an APK file but it isn't downloading. The TV-guide did show.
Any ideas?

Where did you get the file from? I emailed the dev through Market, and he replied quickly with a working file. It's working fine for me now.
I googled for it.
I emailed the dev. He told me to get subscription version :-(
Well.. I did and it works great

Is there an application (or other method) to rout all incoming/outgoing calls through the phone's data connection? With texting this is already possible with Google Voice, but GV uses normal phone connection for voice. I'm looking to get around that.
Specifically I'm looking for a way to use a tablet plan (just data) on my phone while still being able to make and receive calls. So far I've seen Fring and Skype Mobile, both of which cost money. Has anyone used these (or any other similar service) and if so, do they work? Do they drop calls and/or not complete calls? Do they use the data connection exclusively? Are there any similar things that are free to use?
Thank you in advance!
The best one i have used is toktumi.
It's has a monthly fee of 10bucks but gives you a new number and texting all on their app.
It's been around a long time on. Apple before they crossed to android. I used it personally and it wasn't to bad. It's only 60-80% reliable when i used it. Maybe now it's alot better.

There are plenty of ways to make outgoing calls with data, but having a number that it's possible to call from any phone to ring yours is a lot harder. And google voice DOES use minutes; here's proof: Link
Try the free trial app from toktumi and you will find out that it's the best SIP app you can get

Has worked well for me the few times I've used it!
I can vouch for Skype and how well it can integrate with Android, though you must be willing to pay for some services.
2.99 a month will get you unlimited calling to the US and Canada. You can get away with only using this IF you don't want your own mobile number and don't care to receive incoming calls or voicemail. Not to mention when you call someone it will say "Unknown" and I've seen people don't tend to like to answer calls from an unknowable number. Most people obviously don't fit into this category, not sure if you do.
19.99 a month for your own mobile number where you can receive incoming calls and voicemail.
My At&t rep made a store visit today and showed me this app. It's one app that displays your voice mails, texts and call log. I just installed it and got it setup, haven't messed with it that much but it looks cool.
Android Market link:

i saw that in the market today. but didnt mess with it. ill try it out
I don't think it plays well with wifi. Since installing it my wifi times out even though the sleep policy is set to never. If anyone else can confirm this let me know.

I like it so far...nothing super exciting, but works well.
My phone says it's not with AT&T, even though it is.
Maybe this is an Infused 2.02 problem.
Note: This only happens when I'm browsing on my laptop to download it from there. It works directly from the phone. VERY strange~
Be careful about this app. I installed it this morning and didn't like it so I took it back off. It took me >2 hours to get AT&T to fix my voicemail box again. Even once it was "fixed" I can't access it through the regular voicemail numbers, but have to dial my own number, so it still isn't really fixed.
It takes over text messaging and voicemails, so if you don't want to use it for texting don't install it. There may be a way to get it to allow texting through another app but I didn't see it.

I got my text messaging working fine as soon as I uninstalled the app, it just interfered while installed. That's what I didn't like about it. What I was warning about is it FUBAR's your voicemail. It does warn you that it's removing your voicemail-box but it doesn't tell you that it'll take an act of Congress to get voicemail working again. lol
I uninstalled it to test. I held 1 on dialpad and got into my VM fine?

Did you completely set up the messages app? If so, maybe I was just lucky enough to have problems. lol. I don't think it clears vm until after the app setup is complete. It removed the basic voicemail from my account but apparently messed some other stuff up behind the scenes. If it works for everybody else then just ignore me.

The phone app needs some work, definitely. More settings, sure, but the wifi issue is the biggest problem for me. It turns off at least once per hour (or every other hour). It does seem to be a bit sluggish as well in terms of how the app feels.
The website isn't too bad, though. I love that you can capture audio and video. I've been waiting for google to have web-based MMS for a long while now and AT&T did it! The quality could be a bit better on the audio and video, but for a beta, it's tolerable.
And the notifier app is nice, but I wish I could type more text in the reply field.
All in all, given that it's a beta, it's not bad. Needs love in a few areas, but once those are worked out I think it'll be a nice system to use.
Does anyone have the APK for this app? I uninstalled it cause it was turning my WIFI on and off, but now it's no longer in the market so I can't get it again?
thats because the infused rom was made on the rogers network. not at&t. so thats probably why it wont work

No i was taking about the AT&T Messages app that was out on the market. It's no longer in the market. I was asking if someone had the apk for the AT&T MESSAGES app. I no this app is on other AT&T android phone cause my friend has the Atrix and i was checking it out on his phone. So i no this app is available for other AT&T android phones.
Here it is. I found it in the Atrix forum
Oops. Sorry. I should have read further and seen that it was you looking for it. Sorry for the false alarm.
Probably not the one he is looking for.
doost650 - I replied in your Atrix thread.
It was working fine for me for 6 days and now all of a sudden started messing with my wifi. Kept turning on by itself. So I uninstall it luckly I didn't have that VM problem like some of you guys mention. My VM still works but its still using that new AT&T Messages VM.
