Switching yesterday to android was a shock when I found out there was no visual voicemail for android on AT&T. Dialing in for voicemail seems archaic now. But google voice can easily take over your AT&T voicemail and much much more. You don't even have to use your google voice phone number to use the voicemail feature.
Check out HulloMail as well. HulloMail is available for Android, iPhone and Blackberry in the US and UK. The app is free and offers everything you want from VVM and more.

True, I didnt even think about that. I dont even know how to dial in for voicemail on AT&T. The entire time on AT&T I had an iphone that did all that stuff automatically.
Google voicemail transcribes which is even more awesome
Google Voice is great if you don't use Google Apps, if you use a Google Apps account it won't work with it, which is really a pain. I don't want to maintain two separate Google accounts

How do you set up google voice to be your voicemail application, even if someone calls your regular phone number, not your google voice number?
Basics: Adding Google voicemail to your current mobile forwarding phoneShare Comment Print
If you're using a Google number, you can still set up Google voicemail with any mobile forwarding phone.
To do this, click Settings at the top right of the page. On the Phones tab, click the Add Google voicemail to this phone link to get started. The mobile carrier for your forwarding phone will need to be one of our current supported carriers.

I found youmail (sorry due to the rule about new account I can't post the link, but I'm sure you will be able to find it) witch work perfectly with Android. It's free and has a lot of great options
personally my last smartphone was a blackberry 8100 and then 8110 without internet so i think im going to be fine
Has anyone successfully downloaded the Google Voice App? I have tried several times and continue to get a 'download successful' message.
Thanks,

No problem here, works perfectly, works great.
I used appbrain to download it, maybe you can try there?
So during the wizard to set up google voice I choose GV for my voicemail, and all it does is says no changes made and kicks me back to the GV wizard. I am unable to get this to work.
anyone have some ideas?

Did this earlier in the week. Here's what I did.
Install Google voice as you normally would but don't do any of the app's set up for voicemail use..it wont work. Go to settings>call settings>voice calls>call forwarding.
Leave the first option...think its Always Forward...as disabled but the final three options where the calls get forwarded to your AT&T voicemail...edit those so the number is your GV number. That should take care of it.
Be sure to write down your AT&T voicemail number just in case you want to change it back.

This worked. Am I charged minutes for calls getting forwarded to this number?'
Additionally, when I make google voice calls, can I add my GV number to alist for free calls?

I don't believe you get charged per minute for call forwarding.
As far as the A List goes...I have no idea.

Actually, you do use your minutes when you forward a call to your google voice voicemail. I know this from looking at my bill. I don't know about the a-list feature though, I've never used it.

Really? Wow. That's unnecessary. Oh well. Not like I don't answer my phone anyway so oh well.
I wonder if adding the google voice number to the a-list will allow free call forwarding....
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
A-List essentially is a list of numbers that you have unlimited calls to and from. When I was on my iphone you initiated GV calls by getting a call sent to you with your caller ID, so I would add that number to my a-list and voila, free calls.
not sure how it works with the app though.
Edit: looks like every time you dial out of GV it uses a different 10 digit number so you cant abuse a-list...shameful! Wonder i theres a way to force it to use a specific number
Good news you can roll back your version of GV and have it use the same number everytime when you try to connect a call.

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.

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.
So the Infuse does not come with a Virtual Voicemail stock on the phone. Does anyone have any suggestions what to use?

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.
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.

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.

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.
I can't get visual voicemail to work on my phone. Talked to tech support and after an hour of trying to help me, they said this device is not supported by AT&T.
I tried setting up Google voice on this phone, but the phone won't let it forward calls. I just get an error.
Any help greatly appreciated.
What was tried for vvm?
Is it enabled in the dialer settings?
Not clear what the problem with GV is.
Try dialing *004*xxx-xxx-xxxx# (substituting your GV# for 'xxx-xxx-xxxx') to get calls forwarding to GV when your phone is busy or unanswered
When I use the *004*xxx-xxx-xxxx# I get "call forwarding connection problem or invalid MMI code. (1)"
When I try call forwarding through the phone app settings, I get "network or sim card error"
Reading online a new sim card won't fix this. I have reset network settings and rebooted. I've call ATT text support, but they have no answers and tell me this is an unsupported device.
So I can't get att visual voicemail to setup and because I can't use call forwarding, I can't use Google voice for their visual voicemail.
Any suggestions?

I tried both and get the same errors as before. You don't realize how much you miss a feature until it's gone. Standard voicemail sucks. Anyone else have a suggestion?
Maybe try 002 instead if 004?
