Ok I got it setup. It is working now. This is the crazy part about last time I tried to setup google voice. When you went to the website to verify your # it would call your phone then have you put in the 2 digit number it gave you. for the longest time it would not recognize the 2 digit # i would put in my phone. Now it works. Thanks for reminding me about google voice! How well does it work for you guys? Does it drain a lot of battery? I have notice my phone takes for ever and a day to charge up and the battery does not last as long as my iphone did.
Better phones use more battery.
I definitely enjoy Google Voice better than the Visual Voicemail on the iPhone. The voicemail to text tends to be pretty inaccurate, but overall it's great.

You mean VISUAL Voice Mail. I have been using YOUMAIL for years and it works great. I used it in place of my iPhone VVM which was always flakey on my jailbroken iPhone. YOUMAIL does so much more.
Quick question about the Google Voice option. Not trying to thread jack and I apologize if it sounds that way. When you switch GV over to your AT&T number, did it do anything to your account? I thought I read that it was like porting out your number so it would kill off the account that was tied to it. Thanks guys

It does. If you port to Google it will shut down your mobile account just as if you ported to another mobile provider. Also note, there is (at this time) no way to get your number OUT OF Google (unless things changed over the last month or so).

I dont think so. All you are doing is forwarding your # to them for voicemail. to take your phone off forwarding to gv you just do something like ##61#, ##62#, and then ##67# if i am correct. But I think that is on the iphone. Not sure about android.

If you "switch (port)" the number as the poster asked it will cancel your mobile provider's account. You CAN port a number to GV now. If you don't switch/port it the caller has to call your GV number (not the same as your mobile number) for your cell phone to ring to use GV. If you just want GV voice mail that is a totally different thing. To do that, like with YOUMAIL, you setup "conditional call forwarding" which forwards only UNANSWERED CALLS to your GV voice mail.
i have had issues setting up gv on any att rom. waiting for the rogers rom to drop! the i9000 and i9010 and i9088 roms all had zero issues on the captivate setting up gv. the att roms still give me the att vm notification and it never shows in my gv mailbox, then i try to call voicemail from the dialer and it asks me for my gv 4 digit pin. i dont know why i cant get it to switch to the gv notifications and my vm doesnt show in the app, it's rather frustrating!
youmail on the other hand is setup as call forwarding and not in voicemail settings, it works perfectly but i miss the gv transcriptions, even though the voice recognition sux, i can get the jist of the message without listening to it. youmail has a similar service but it is a pay service.

I'm not sure what you guys are talking about. I have been using google voice for about 2-3 years. I only use it for v mail. I have my att v mail number forwarded to a google number and I get v mail, text and email. Works perfectly and the translation in texts is pretty good, although there are usually some pretty funny transpositions.
ahh found the issue, though i dont think i had to do this on any i9000 rom for my captivate (i never got it to work on the captivate rom) log into gmail from a desktop web browser, go to http://google.com/voice (voice.google.com will redirect you here as well) and look in the phone tab, next to your cell number in small blue text it says activate voicemail. when you click the link it brings up a mmi dialer code that will automatically change the forwarding numbers according to your gv number and activate the gv vm box for new mail. this step may be accomplished by the app on international roms because i dont remember ever needing to use my gmail page to set it up before. it might be a matter of permissions, maybe att disallows apps from running certain mmi codes in there roms?
the settings>callsettings>voicemail page is just for the voicemail number that you use from the dialer when you hit 1 or the vm button, even if this is set it doesn't forward to this number without the mmi code being run. the settings>callsettinge>voicecalls>callforwarding page has the forwarding numbers but setting these manually doesn't work for gv because though the calls do get forwarded it wont activate the mailbox, it needs the mmi code to do this.
the code for me looked somewhat like *004*xxxxxxxxx66# im worried it may be unique to my gv number so im not sharing the whole thing as im still not sure how these codes work.

Press and hold the 1 button in your dialer. It will dial your voicemail. Back out and check the logs for last call. It will show you the number.
where you able to check via holding the 1 key, or is that when you are told to enter a voicemail number? and you are using youmail and or just downloaded that thinking it would help, att can help with att vmail but not youmail.

not sure if you fixed it... but i had the same issue when i first bought my infuse.
turned out that i wasn't even signed up for voicemail on this device (coming from iphone > blackberry).
i went into "manage features" on my ATT dot com, signed up for "enhanced voicemail ($1.99/mo, but i believe this is the most basic voicemail service offered for this phone), and problem was solved.
hope this helps, if you haven't already fixed your issue.

thats because with the iphone the "visual voicemail" 'is attached to the iphone data plan so when switched to new data plan it was removed, you can get basic voice mail for free, main difference btwn basic and enhanced are
Greeting Length - Maximum: 1/2min
Message Length - Maximum: 2/4min
Number of Messages - Maximum: 20/40
Days Messages Kept - New: 22/30
Days Messages Kept - Saved: 14/30

I came from the iPhone also - I was wondering why I didn't wasn't getting my voice-mail.. Instead of paying at&t a just used Google Voice for my voice-mail instead -its just as good as the visual voice-mail.
You mail changes your voicemail number to their number. Call att and ask them for your voicemail mail number the original one. I called and they gave it to me, this was after using Google voice and I wanted my original voicemail back.

For some reason my voicemail doesnt work on my phone. I am using the miui rom and under the settings to put in a voicemail number I had my phone number there and it would connect to my voicemail box. I used that number because this rom made the number blank to begin with so I had to figure out a way to access my voicemails. I use att and do not know their access number for my voicemails. What should i do?
yep. on gingerbread sense rom, its your phone number....so, yeah
also, there is a MIUI sticky for future reference.
Thanks for you're help but it actually wasn't supposed to be my number. Its a different one. I found it by using the number under the forwarding options that says what number it would forward calls to once enabled

Att uses a seperate voicemail number so they can deduct it from your monthly amount due to it not being and att number. I always change the default number to my cell number so I don't get charged for the call to voicemail.
Voicemail Issues A Month After Setup
My girlfriend and I both have an HTC Inspire through AT&T. I put the MIUI ROM on both of our phones about a month ago. I set up the voicemails according to our cell phone numbers and it worked for awhile. But now when we both try calling our voicemail box it just rings and eventually says the caller is not available. This has been going on for the past week. Would this be an AT&T issue of a fix that can be done in MIUI? Please help, I cannot find a forum on this topic! Thanks for your help!

Alright, a search didn't turn anything up, so I'm going to ask and risk wrath.
I d/l and installed GSLEON3's VVM apk thinking that since I came from an iphone, I might be able to take advantage. So, my questions are: Has anyone checked into VVM for the Inspire? Can I swap my SIM back into the iPhone to get VVM reprovisioned on the line and then use the app I have?
I should probably leave well enough alone, but running a rooted phone indicates that I don't have that kind of sense.

not much of an answer to your question, more of an alternative. I myself came from an iphone and loved the vvm. I was referred by someone here to use google voice and i love it. has a widget and emails me when i get a voicemail with the voicemail translated into text.

I forward my number to GV while I'm at the school (no service), I was unaware that I could use GV to handle ALL my voicemail needs.
as far as i know mine has been doing that. actually didnt have the app for about a week and when i reinstalled it i was informed of 2 missed voice mails. havent seen one from att yet.

in call settings change your voicemail service to google voice. then in voicemail settings change the number to your gvoice number. mine did it all when i installed gvoice.
Well, I set this up, as I had a GV# already. My only complaint is that an incoming call rings nine times before going to voicemail. the problem is that it rings to AT&T (4-5 rings) then still has to fulfill GV's requisite 30 seconds of ringing before being picked up. Anyone know a workaround to that?!
:facepalm: Nevermind. I had it set to ring my Google Chat (so I could use GrooVeIP). Unchecked all forwarding numbers and it now goes straight to the outgoing message.
I just got T-Mobile's $30 pre-paid plan with 100 Min Talk + Unlimited texts & Web (5G @ 4G). Perfect plan for me on my HTC Sensation.
I use Google Voice... and that is my primary number. I don't give my T-Mobile number out to anyone, only the Google Voice number.
With T-Mobile Prepaid, you can't change the voicemail forwarding number... so if I decline a call, it goes into T-Mobile's voicemail instead of my GV mail. If I let the phone ring, and don't decline the call, it goes to GV after 4 rings.
I've been looking for a solution where GV will work under all circumstances, and think I understand one, but want to be sure before I do it...
If I call T-Mobile to disable their voicemail, I should be able to use only my Google Voice mail. Is that right? Will it go to GV if I decline a call?
Any confirmation, or additional advice would be greatly appreciated!
Google Voice
I had T-mobile prepay on a G1 last year. When i found Google Voice, I had wanted to do what you are looking to do. I called T-Mobile and asked them they told me even if i disabled my voice mail the phone would just ring and ring. Never giving the option for Google Voice voice mail to kick in.
Currently I have a regular Sprint account and want to keep both numbers but use the Google Voice voice mail. I had set it up but it told me one of the numbers would have to be deleted if i continued. Basically i want to give random people and bill collectors google voice. Then save my real number for people closer to me.
Thanks for the reply...
I'm not sure that's right though. If I decline the call... it might still continue to ring a couple more times on their end, but GV kicks in after 20 seconds... doesn't it?
You may be right, I'd like to get more confirmation though.
I appreciate it.
I found this out the hard way too. It was very disappointing. I read in a couple forums that people called T-Mobile support and asked for their tier 2 support who could manually override the forwarding numbers. Unfortunately, when I tried it, the support agent said that forwarding wasn't possible under the prepaid plans. I still wonder how it was possible that others reported having success. Will there ever be a fix for us T-Mobile prepaid / Google Voice users?
Sent from my CM7 LG-P999 using XDA
I appreciate the responses...
but it still doesn't answer the question...
If I disable T-Mobile voicemail on the phone. Wouldn't Google Voice pick up the call after a certain number of seconds?
Rather than just keep ringing, GV would answer it and play the VM message... wouldn't it?
Works for me, thanks everybody.
Ok, I called CS and had them de-activate my voicemail on my prepaid voice service.
If you call my tmobile # directly, and the device is on, it rings for 30 seconds, then goes into tmobile voicemail system asking for a #. If the device is off, it goes directly into the tmobile voicemail system asking for a #.
If you call my google voice, it rings for 30 seconds whether the device is on or not, then goes into google voicemail.
This works for what I need, and I hope it answers a question or two for others.
Also, the tech support guy said it can take a couple hours to go through, but it worked for me within a minute. The text msg I received however, said something about changing my service to monthy 4G, and I had to go make a payment. He said to ignore that, and it appears he was right, as my account still says monthy prepaid voice on mytmobile.com.
Somehow, I think the tmobile voicemail system doesn't send a pickup signal unless it's going into a mailbox. Or, maybe the Google guys programmed their end to know about this non-answer, and ignores it.
Ok so i am on the same plan and here is what I got so far after having them turn off the VM feature. You can call Tmobile customer care free using *8646.
1)If Tmobile Phone number is called calls will either continue to ring or will get a busy signal once decline/text response is initiated
2) If GV number is called, phone will ring 5 times regardless of decline/text and will go to GV VM.
More short codes can be found here for t-mobile pre paid services.
Hope this helps.

How to get Google Voicemail on StraightTalk (with T-Mobile SIM card)
This also works to get Google Voice (GV) voicemail from Straight Talk if you are using their T-Mobile SIM card. For example, using the lovely cyanogenmod7 on my rooted old Motorola MB200, here are the steps I took:
I did not call customer service to get them to turn off my Straight Talk/ T-Mobile voicemail, since I don't think I'll need to.
In your cell phone (not GV)'s contacts list or address book, add a new contact with your Straight Talk/T-mobile mobile number (NOT your GV number).
While adding this new contact, select the Option to send your incoming calls for this contact straight to voicemail.
Call Settings > Voicemail Settings > Write down this number, and then change it to your new GV number.
I also UNchecked the LED voicemail notification box (so I won't even KNOW if my phone tries to tell me about Straight Talk/ T-Mobile voicemails).

Hmm, doesn't work for me, on ICS, Tmo $30 prepaid, galaxy s2.
Under call settings, voicemail service ... doesn't list a number, nothing to change.
In call, settings, there IS a "call forwarding" option for unanswered calls, with tmo voicemail number in it, but, I can't change this number, keeps saying network error when I try.
Anyone got this to work with ICS?
Thanks!
I'm on T-Mobile's Monthly 4G as well. What worked for me is I went into my phone settings and set the voicemail service to "my carrier" and the voicemail number to my Google Voice number. When I get a voicemail message I receive an SMS notification. Then I just dial my GV number and listen to the voicemail. This works if I decline the call or let it ring through. Seems to be an adequate solution for me.

oh wow I am glad I found this thread. I just switched to ST and from darkside to CM9 and now I cannot get GV to work anymore. Also you are correct there is no voicemail number in CM9 only call forward options which fail if you try to change them. Also why is there no call settings from the Settings menu, you can only get there from the Phone app lol. This really sucks because I am liking CM9 but need google voice so may have to go back to the darkside lol.
I take that back you can change the number but when you try changing the service from carrier to GV you get forwarding number change unsuccessful.

No it's ICS. I found out Tmobile prepaid doesn't allow call forwarding so GV doesn't work so that's why there is the work around in this thread except I cannot get it to work.

Just to be clear .... Google Voice works just fine, with a VOIP program (grooveip, talkatone, etc.) you can make calls over the wireless data plan, or use google voice straight on the tmo cell minutes.
The issue ... by default .....
1) calls to your tmo cell number get answered by your tmo voicemail, NOT by google voice mail.
2) Calls to your google voice, if forwarded to your cell number, ALSO get answered by your tmo voicemail.
So google voice works great and fine. There is an issue only if you want to use google VOICEMAIL ......
There are two scenarios .....
1) You ONLY want to use your google voice NUMBER, you never want to use your tomo number (or at least don't want to get voicemails if someone calls your tomo cell number.
The solution here is to simply turn off your tmo voicemail, and all calls to your google number will be answered on google voicemail if you don't pick up, and all calls to your tmo cell number will go to /dev/null (nowhere) if you don't pick up. BUT, if you're not giving anyone your tmo number,you don't care.
2) You want to use your google voicemail for google number calls, and you DO want to use tmo number and to have google voicemail, work for your tmo cell number i.e. you want to have two active numbers each going to google voicemail.
Well you can't. At least that's what we think for ICS ...
Post earlier in this thread shows a technique that might work on gingerbread, but, with ICS, doesn't seem to be anyway to forward the tmo voicemail number to google voice.
Please someone post back if they figure out a way to get this to work.
Thanks!
Guess I should have clarified I was only trying to get it for VM's. GV calls, sip etc all work fine for me.
