Hey everyone, i am looking for some help with setting up my voicemail.
I have the inspire 4g with att, its rooted and running cm7 as of right now. on this rom and the stock with root i cannot set up my voicemail to use google voice. i cant even set it up in general, actually. when i go into settings and tell it to use google voice, it tries to load for a second, then says something about forwarding settings or something then kicks me out. (does this on stock rom and CM7)
does anyone have a solution? id like for my phone to not just ring and ring and ring and ring... you get it
thanks in advance for the help!
Did you set up google voice on your computer? It has the full instructions there. That's how I got it to work on my inspire.

yeah, its all set up. i had it working on my hero when i was with sprint. Its being really annoying. it wont let me set it up with the regular att voicemail, nor will it let me change to GV. it says it has forwarding problems. ill see if i can get screen shots later after work.
am i the only one who has this problem?
Bump, cause i still cant get the darn thing to work. I have tried everything i know how, but nothing is helping....

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.

Huh. Do I just replace the AT&T VM number with my GV # in the call settings, or is there some other voodoo that I need to do?

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 really want to set up visual voicemail with Google Voice. I can't seem to figure it out though. Can anyone post a step by step guide? Right now, when someone calls me after 4 rings they get a message saying the person you has called is unavailable. There isn't even an option to leave a message. I don't know what I did wrong.
On another note, does anyone have any experience with At&t visual voicemail? Is it worth exploring that option over google voice?
This is one feature that I really would love to have on this otherwise perfect phone.
Your plan has to include visual voicemail if it doesn't then it doesn't matter how hard you try you will not get it setup. call And tell them you want visual voicemail and the tech will push the app to your phone and then it'll set up.

go to voice.google.com
settings
phones ->activate voicemail
on your phone:
settings ->call -> voicemail -> set as google voice. it will fail, but just say yes anyways. it should work after that. (it does on my phone)
Thank you. I hope that works. This problem was present even before I updated though.

it's a known "problem" but I haven't had any issues with it other then it "failing" (see attached screenshot) to apply (but still works even with this message)
there are some other threads on this forum regarding this. you might have been able to find them if you had looked (harder).
anyways, since i'm here, i may as well post what worked for me
go to settings, call, additional settings, and set EVERY forwarding number (unanswered, busy, etc) to your google voice number. But **make sure Always Forward is disabled**
cheers
Lol... Just re-read the OP..my bad I thought I read that you wanted att vvm. Sorry. I know I looked like a dumbass..lol disregard my post and carry on.

and you followed the instructions at voice.google.com by typing in that long number that starts with *004*.... ?
and are you having someone test call you to see if it does go to your google voice mailbox? again, your phone will show (after doing all the appropriate steps) that "Voicemail Service: My Carrier" but it will truly get forwarded to google voice... at least it does on my setup.
also, if this doesn't work, have you tried AT&T's version of visual voicemail? it's free with LTE data plan I believe.
Send yourself a voicemail it'll come up on the Google Voice client IF you followed the instructions here.
I've found it's less cumbersome on a pc to set it up.

Finally solved the problem by getting a new google voice number. I guess something was wrong with the old one. Thanks for all your help, folks.
Yep, Google Voice is the ONLY voicemail for Android I would consider.

I did a search but cant seem to find how to activate Google Voice on my VZW GS3. Im trying to set it up but it says that VZW doesnt support this feature. So I followed the GV support page where it says to dial codes to activate, and one of them takes me to VZW where it says I cant do it. Yet I see people on here using GV. Am I doing something wrong? I am running CleanROM 2.5. Thanks for any help in advance.
Edit: Still have been trying to figure it out and neither of my VM are working now, Stock VZW not GVoice....

Suggestions anyone? I would appreciate the help.
I'm just using Google Voice Lite, but on my previous phone I had to setup forwarding at VZW for unanswered calls to go to the GV voicemail. When I got this phone, it just worked after I downloaded the GV app.

Hi,
This is pretty simple. Just log into gvoice in your browser (http://www.google.com/voice) and go settings. Under phone where you setup your number to be forwarded, should show use this as your main voice mail. Follow its steps.

I can access the vm from my phone as if I were checking it. But when someone calls me it say the call couldnt be completed as dialed when it time for vm to come up.
Your wanting Gvoice to be your VM or VZW to be your VM?

Gvoice, but I would like it to be easy to switch back if I wanted to. Right now neither VM is picking up if I ignore a call. I can call my gvoice number and it will work, but when someone calls nothing is working.
You called the number gvoice tells you to dial to make gvoice your default VM?
Will not work unless you do so.
*71(your gvoice #)
if you did this already, deactivate it *73 and try it over again. *71(your gvoice #)
That is what you have to do to switch between them.

Yes ive done this, It didnt work... I get "Welcome to Verizon Wireless, you call could not be completed as dialed. Blah, blah, blah. Your verizon update could not be completed" when i do the *73
And when I do the *71 I get 3 short busy tones and it hangs up.
When someone calls me and I reject it, The incoming call hears "Your call could not be completed as dialed"
I think ive tried all the proper steps, but feel like im missing something. Please keep the suggestions coming, they are very appreciated
Does anyone have any other suggestions. Thabks again in advance

i've just done it 4 times back to back to see if it still worked on the s3 and it does.....just making sure (please don't make any assumptions about what i'm about to type up, it's just to make sure its being done lol) that when you input the # to dial, you include the asterisk before 71 and that you're using the full 10 digit phone number for your google voice number, like for me its *713379449734 to enable, then *73 to disable......it has worked across an incredible 2, droid 3, and now galaxy s3
Yes ive done it multiple times. Like i said when i do the *71 i get a quick busy signal then it hangs up. Ive been all over the place looking around and now neither vm's are working. I only wanted this for the visual vm aspect of it. I believe that its working. Im sure its me doing something wrong. I have setup it up and activated online, it shows my number and carrier, i can call out via pc, when i push and hold 1 it takes me to enter my pin. It just wont answer when there is an incoming call

Ok so I finally got it working. I deactivated then re-activated, but during the Re-activation it had me put in the *71 + a slightly different number than my GV number. But the voicemail aspect is working now. Im trying to figure out how to make calls through my GV number. when I enter google.com/voice on my phone it says we to to learn this number... Please verify using a desktop. Amd to add it. When I go to settings its already listed as a registered phone. Whats that about?
I finally found the rom I like, Avatar, flashed that and everything works except for the AT&T voicemail app. It keeps telling me there is no voicemail number on the sim card. I used another app and copied the voicemail number to the card but it still can't find the number. I can call my voicemail on the phone and get to the voicemail but the voice mail won't set up. At first the dialer told me to use the settings in menu to set the voicemail up, but I can't find the menu to do that. Anyone got any help please. Need voicemail.
I had the same problem with cm10.1. Tried everything I could think of even, called att = no help there. So I just went back to Google voice. I like it better anyway cause I can check voicemail on my PC browser. :/

Ok, I will give that a try, I called AT&T and they gave me the voice mail number. I put it in contacts and called that works, but the app I am using won't find the number and set up. For some reason with this Avatar Rom there is no voicemail number associated with it. Other roms I have had no problem with this app setting up voicemail. One other Rom I played with had the same problem but there was a menu on the dialer with settings to insert a number for voicemail, but this is missing on this one.
Is this the visual voicemail app? If so, you might try removing and reinstalling. Make sure wifi is off when you try to set it up. Mine won't setup after a rom flash unless I turn off wifi and let it connect to data.

I switched to CM 10.1 I think it was and it set up pretty good. Thats basically the same rom for looks that I can see. I have no idea why my voicemail number isn't on the sim card and I can't get it over there .
Still not working here on cm10.1. The wheel keeps spinning after I enter the password.

I'm using GV. I had issues trying to get it to work at first. I tried a few things to get it working. First I just changed the section in call forwarding to my GV number. Seemed to work ok. But if I remember correctly To get it actually working I had to go to my google voice account on computer and go to settings. Then select deactivate google voice on this phone. It then gave me the code to type into my phone. Then I went back and hit activate my google voice number. Again it gave me the code to enter on my phone. After that I just went through install and setup for GV app on my phone.
The deactivating and the re-activating did the trick.

Awesome! Glad you got it working.
Or, if you switched carriers (and opted for a new number) like me, you can just disable the old number. I forgot to deactivate the old number before shutting off service to the phone.
