I have a rooted sidekick running the stock ROM still on Fido and one of the only things that is getting to me about running a non-carrier phone is the lack of visual voicemail, I never realized how much I liked it until it was gone.
I am not that knowledgeable as to if this is possible but as FIDO does have a Nexus running visual voicemail can that app be sideloaded or run on a sidekick 4G????
U can use google voice as a visual voice mail just set the option to no international calls that's what I use

I looked into that earlier but google voice is only available in the US now.
how about phone fusion vm?

Hey guys,
Forgive me I am new to the Verizon family as I just came from the Evo on Sprint.
Is there no way to get visual voicemail for free on Verizon? It never even crossed my mind that this would not be possible. I honestly don't know though if my visual voicemail on Sprint was standard or the result of my rooted rom on the Evo.
Anyone?
Thanks!
If you have a Google Voice account, you can use that as your phone's voicemail provider, giving you visual voicemail.

I do have an account, shortly before I switched I "integrated" GV with my Evo and boy was that slick. I'll search for a guide on how to do it the normal way.
Just download the GV app to your phone and it should walk you through the process.

Got it. Thanks!
You'll probably need a new (separate) GV number, though, now that you've ported the original.

Nope I didn't. Worked great.
I actually prefer YouMail. Since I discovered it several years ago, in my WM days, the functionality offered by it has caused me to immediately disregard all carrier VM options. As a matter of fact, my VZW VM isn't even setup, ~2 years after switching from AT&T.

I too am wondering the same thing. I have had my Bell line originally provisioned with VVM for Blackberry and I would get an MMS message after the VM notification that looked like it was trying to send the VVM. I then had it provisioned as VVM for the iPhone and now I don't get any VM notifications at all.
I had read something about a user who had VVM for Android provisioned on their phone and once they set it up by putting their SIM into the Android it worked when the SIM went back in the Win Phone.
Not sure if Bell does VVM for Android though. Been too busy to check with them.
I do admit that not having the VM notifying me is kind of nice. I am actually considering ditching VM completely
I have my Nexus 5 on straight talk with an AT&T Sim installed. I am looking for an app that downloads my voicemail to my phone so I can listen to it without having to call my voicemail. I had this on my old Motorola Photon (stock) with Sprint.
What do you all recommend?
Anyone?
I like many of you am using a custom Rom on my G. I am with Virgin Mobile and on when using stock Rom I have a voicemail app which is extremely convenient. But when using a custom Rom obviously I do not have this app. I can't even tell when I get voicemail unfortunately.
Im curious to know other people do as a replacement for a voicemail app @hossman. I've tried Google Voice and Youmail from the play store but could get neither working properly.
Thanks for any input.

Am I wrong for believing there is a Samsung version of visual voicemail that can be used on the unlocked phones?
I would like to give it a spin but cannot find it.
use T-Moible voicemail if you're using on T-Mobile Network, or use YouMail app or Google Voice if you have one.

That was one of the problems I ran into using an unlocked phone on Verizon network a couple of years ago. Also, I was not able to get notifications for text, etc. After that, I swore off unlocked phones. But things may have changed since then, or you may find a work around. Good luck.

I just uninstalled TVV and will look to give YouMail a try.
However my question still remains, am I wrong to assume that there is a Samsung Visual Voicemail app that can be used. I swear I read something about how people hated the Tmobile version because they make you pay to transcribe the voicemail to text but the Samsung version did not.
Yes it has the Samsung one installed. It comes up as voicemail in the finder...it's not baked in to the dialer though which is super annoying.
If you want the at&t visual voicemail or other branded version the apk is out there and I can confirm does work on our phone the same issue is still present though regarding the missing icon from the dialer...
Xda hates my phone at the moment so I can't upload a picture but the image for the Samsung one looks just like the voicemail notification symbol.
