Record your Voice mail # before upgrade to cm6

Just a heads up. When I upgraded to cm6 or Froyo 2.2 my Aria lost its ability to dial voice mail by pressing # 1. I had to call att customer service to get my special number and enter it under the call settings. No big deal but if you write it down ahead of time it will save you a phone call. BTW, I confessed to the att customer service person that I had upgraded to 2.2. Actually she kinda hinted that she knew what was up. I then asked here about any other issues and she said that this was the only one that they have been hearing about.
Also, if you are using vonage you will not be able to listen to your voice mails on the phone. For some reason the .wav file format is not supported properly on 2.2.

You can also enter your own phone number, and that works too

Just a heads up this is going to be moved really quick, and I would also suggest using Google voice instead

i like it alot, its simple to use because it is a visual voice mail and it also takes advantage of the voice to text so you can read your voicemails instead

this item will also prevent using TiKL over a mobile connection until you enter your phone number... which i did manually, and then all was well...

I didn't have to.

After installing 2.2, if you find yourself without the ability to access your Voicemail by holding down the 1 key on the Phone, then do the following
Go to Menu > Settings > Call settings > Call forwarding (at the very bottom)
You will see a phone number listed 3 times on this page. This is your voicemail access number. Write it down (including the +1 in front).
Go back to Call settings and select Voicemail settings (near the top) and set the voicemail number to the number you wrote down. Don't forget the leading "+1".
That's what I did and it works normally now, and I didn't have to call AT&T support or anything to find the number.

Settup up ATT VM after CM7 ROM and Kernel

I recenty (Friday) picked up my Inspire. I sold my iphone 4(YEAH) and paid the out of contract price for the inspire.
Seems now i have to re-establish my voice mail inbox.
I have already flashed it to CM7. I called ATT and they said hold down the nubmer 1 key, and it will take you to your VM and you can setup form there.
on CM7 that won't work. I went to the phone preferences and checked the box for 1 to take you to VM and no dice.
I can't manually set it up by calling my number as the box isn't setup to begin with. From my phone it goes to fast busy, and from a different phone it rings and rings.
thanks,

Dialing 1 does nothing more then calls your own phone number. To setup 1, setup speed dialing to your own number for 1.

Never had an iPhone so not sure but I have read something about visual voicemail needing to be changed to standard vm when moving from an iPhone.

Settings calls. Voicemail number. Enter it there and 1 will work in cm7

Yep, that didn't work I tried that first. Gonna try getting ATT on the phone.
Thanks!

You can also set up YouMail or Google Voice as a visual voicemail client.

I did the exact same thing! (thanks craigslist)
You have to have ATT reset your entire voicemail inbox... which they shouldve done. iPhone overrides ATT's default voicemail plan and replaces it with its visual voicemail. So after I had ATT straighten that out, they gave me the generic voicemail box number that should've worked. Well, it didnt - go figure. However, simply putting my cell phone's number in the voicemail number settings instead did the trick. Holding one works, and I get all voicemails pushed through.

Google Voice - T-Mobile Prepaid

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?

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.

check out this post. it works. ive done it.http://www.talkandroid.com/guides/g1/replace-t-mobile-voicemail-with-google-voice-visual-mail/

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.

This is what I had to do.
Enter the code, *004*1(your GV# w/ area code)#
- That will change your "Call Forwarding" settings
To get the phone to dial your GV go to the Voicemail settings, select "Google Voice", and then immediately press the "Home" button. When you go back to look it should have stayed GV.

I tried this trick and it worked, which is to say now it shows GV as my vm provider and any voice messages left for me are going to my GV inbox.
However, I just cant seem to get the notification working. Despite the boxes being checked in settings on my phone, it does not let me know when I have a new vm.
Any suggestions please?

Having the same problem. My google voice number is still linked as my main Sprint number though, so I wonder if that's part of the problem. Right now, I can get calls to my google voice number on the one x, but I get no sms or voicemail notifications. Really close to just sticking with Sprint and getting the EVO but I'd like to make this work if I can.
When I try to change settings on the phone, I get a lot of those "thinking" animations on the phone and it never actually accesses the settings. This is currently happening when I was trying to change my google voice voicemail number. It's supposed to be my google voice number, right? And should it be 1+ area code or just start with area code? By default, it was set to my at&t phone number so I am trying to change it.

same problem here still. i've got everything setup and functioning, and I even get my email notification sent to my gmail account as i have setup via voice.google.com, but i still dont get the actual SMS or notifications from GV itself. I distinctly recall the notifications working immediately after setting it up because the first thing i did was test out how well the voice transcription worked, but they haven't worked at all in the past couple of weeks...hoping google and/or HTC are on this.

[Q] Suddently unable use GV for voicemails

My phone is setup to use Google Voice for voicemails, but as of a couple days ago VMs are no longer going to GV and instead goes to the standard verizon voicemail.
Now when someone leaves me a voice mail, I get a notification in the notification bar, but I get the standard VM notification, not the GV one and nothing ever shows up in GV. Ive set my phones "voicemail service" setting to "my carrier" and deactivated GV (by dialing *73) and then able to access the Verizon VM via *86. I then tried reactivating GV by dialing *7 then my GV number and uninstalled/reinstalled GV app on my phone, but people are still directed to the verizon VM and not GV.
The only thing Ive changed in the last couple days is Ive applied the wifi prompt hack from here and the Wifi Toggle mod from here (which Ive since run the "return to stock" package).
Im running rooted stock ICS and below is a screenshot of the notification.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

In call settings, is Google voice an option?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

There is and it's currently selected.

I have the same problem - callers hear "this voicemail has not been setup" even though my GV greeting is set.
edit - to OP, make sure you've activated your phone number for GV voicemail in the google voice website.

Are the phone and correct number listed in Google Voice settings (online) as having been activated for Google voicemail?
You mentioned using *7GoogleVoiceNumber - isn't it supposed to be *71GoogleVoiceNumber ?
- ooofest

I have had this happen once or twice, each time I would have to dial *71<then your google voice number> and hit the send call button. This basically tells Verizon to forward missed calls to your GV voicemail.
You can also call Verizon and ask them what your call forwarding is set to, and they can fix it there as well.
For what it is worth though, I have been able to use the setup Voicemail feature within Google Voice, it would always come back with some kind of carrier issue.

Try the following 3:
*71 GV #
*90 GV #
*92 GV #

Ive verified Google Voice is configured for voice mails via the web site (which you can see in the 1st screenshot below). Ive also verified my voicemail carrier is set to Google Voice and that it matches my actual google voice number (seen in screenshots 2 and 3).
Ive also dialed the 3 numbers in the previous post (*71, *90, *92 + GV#) and verified voicemails are still being left on verizon. Ill call them tomorrow to verify my phone is in fact fowarding as it should be though.
Finally, just to make sure GV was actually working I also verified that calling my actual google voice number and leaving a voicemail does show the notification on my phone in the GV app.
Really not sure how in the heck this happened, like I said, Ive been using this without issue for months, and it wasnt until a day or two ago that this started happening. Is it possible that either of those hacks/mods applied caused this? I didnt realize until after I applied them that some mods require a deodexed ROM, so wasnt sure if that was the culprit.
Hoping to figure this out rather then revert to an old nandroid backup.
Thanks again all, really appreciate the responses so far.

I had this problem too... On my Galaxy Nexus I could just play back my voice mails right through my main phone applications phone log but now with this phone I had to uncheck the box in google voice (on your phone) that says "Voicemail Display" allowing you to view and playback your voicemails from your call log. Soooo, I get all of my notifications now but they are through the google voice app instead of my phone app... Does this make any sense to you cause I am really tired but I tried everything and this was the best option... So uncheck the box for "Voicemail display" in google voice settings on your phone and you should be good to go if that is what you are looking for?? Also you can go right to your account online and make sure it is setup to forward to your gv number... Just go to "My Verizon and then My plans and services and then you will see a image at the top right of the screen saying "I want to" and hit the plus sign and you will see the options for forwarding your number.... Again, hope this helps a little but I don't know how your setup was before so I am just basing it on what my setup is...

While I didnt really follow the first part of your post, I did try changing forwarding via My Verizon as you mentioned and sure enough, that did the trick! For whatever reason the * commands must not have been working, but all works as it should now.
Thanks!

Yesterday 1 call went to my Verizon voicemail. All the rest went to Google Voice. It was late in the evening (around 6pm est). Working fine this morning. Someone must have pulled the wrong switch again at the mothership.

While I didnt really follow the first part of your post, I did try changing forwarding via My Verizon as you mentioned and sure enough, that did the trick! For whatever reason the * commands must not have been working, but all works as it should now.
Thanks!

When I first configured my Verizon line and Android phone for Google Voice (with my Droid Incredible), it turned out that I had to call Verizon to have them properly enable forwarding because the * codes were not working. They said there was a configuration problem with my account, which took a couple levels of Support to eventually fix. So, I guess that means they could accidentally screw up anyone's account after-the-fact, too.
