Voicemail problems

Is anyone else having problems with voicemail setup on they captivates? Every time I try to check my voicemail I get a message about where the mailbox number, I enter my phone number and or says thee is no mailbox with that number. Also when my wife tries to call it just says that I'm not available and when I reject the call it does busy. Does any else have this issue?

Go take it to the AT&T store or call them, they forgot to move your voicemail over to the new device. Same thing happened to me.

1) thats not the first time ATT's goofed a VM access #.
2) Consider having your VM swapped to Google Voice, and using it only for VM, you'll still get most of the features plus text conversion and recording via the Voice app and website.

Use Google Voice instead. It is so much better anyway.

You do not have the proper phone number for your voicemail. This happens to me when I transfer phones around since I always forget to put the proper number on my sim card

If you came from a device with visual voicemail, you'll have to call customer care to get it switched back to basic voicemail.
Well, that, or use Google Voice.

[Q] google voice

my Google voice# calls n messages are not Forwarding to my mobile number, why is that? is there something i'm not enable somewhere, help plz

Is the problem that voicemails are not being forwarded or the calls are not being forwarded? Did you remember to validate your mobile number when enabling forwarding?

Q. Google voice and sms messages.

I was using goolge voice for voicemail on my Samsung epic. But when I started using it for my nexus my sms messages go to Google voice. How do I stop the text messages and keep the voicemail? Currently I disabled Google voice.

Did you "integrate," migrate, port... whatever you wanna call it, your Sprint number over to Google Voice?
That's what I did, and while I liked the feature, I couldn't send or receive picture messages anymore.
I had to delete GV from my phone, sign up for a new GV account/ number, and then start all over from the beginning when I did this.
I clicked the update me link on the GV website to enable picture/ MMS in GV texting, for further updates to see if it becomes available. If in the future they give us the ability to send/ receive MMS/ picture messages through GV, I'll be going back. Until now, I'll stick with it just for voicemail usage.

All I've done to fix this is to log in to Google Voice on my computer and disable the "integration" with my cell phone number. This has done the trick for me many times when I change ROMs. I see that you already disabled the service, so I'm not sure why you would still be getting your text messages sent to GV.

Jerbech Is correct ..same thing I did

Yeah I have it disabled. But I am no longer getting voicemail. So I would like to stop the SMS messages but still be able to get voicemail.

Its one of the options on the computer, turn off SMS sent to phone option. Hope that's what you meant.

There a few guides here in the Nexus S forums on how to disable Google Voice for calls and texts while still getting VM through GV. Look around and you will find it. If I remember right you go to voice.google.com click on the gear in upper right hand corner of page and choos voice settings. Unport your Sprint # and get a new or use your already existing GV #. Then down by your Mobile number on the settings page click where it says activate google voicemail on this phone and follow instructions. Then change settings on your phone from My Carrier to Google Voice under voicemail and you should be good to go.

[Q] Google Voice

I am on T-Mobile. I use Google Voice for voicemail. If someone calls me while I have Gmail open, it rings in GMail and I can answer it and talk to the caller and everything. Is this normal?

Its a feature. You can disable it in the Google voice settings on the web

Interesting I never noticed before. I thought it only did that if you were on Sprint and did the "integration" thing. Thanks.

How do I get rid of voicemail icon?

I have a rooted nexus 5 on stock rom and I am using youmail for voicemail. For some reason I have the icon in the status bar that says I have a voicemail. (not a youmail icon but the regular voicemail icon)
How do I get this to go away?

Are you on Sprint? I could only get rid of mine by using Google Voice to put the VM in my missed call log.

I am on sprint but I use YouMail which is a similar voicemail service to Google voice. YouMail works fine. Calls are being forwarded to it and I am receiving voice mails from it. Still there is a voicemail icon that won't go away

Do you have voicemail feature/service with Sprint? If so call in and delete any voicemails in your inbox. If not then call Sprint and have them enable their voicemail service for your line and have someone call you and leave a voicemail. Then call in and delete it.

Still no resolution. Has anyone had any other ideas or know what causes this icon to stay on here?
