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

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.
Long story short, my VM Victory was soft-bricked and came back to life after (mostly accidentally) flashing a Sprint rom on to it. It has worked splendidly for a month and a half.
The VM phone thinks it is on the Sprint network. All my data and phone usage is tracked minute-for-minute on my VM account, so I know that the phone just thinks it's on Sprint, but the phone is clearly on VM.
The only issue I have with this (since it works in all other matters) is that I can't get MMS. My BF, also on VM, wasn't getting MMS either, so I figured it was a VM problem.
He was able to get his MMS fixed by realigning MSID/MDN by using the ##VIRGIN# command in the phone dialer.
When I try ##VIRGIN# it says the command is invalid, and I'm guessing it's because my phone thinks it's Sprint, and Sprint doesn't know that command.
So my question is, what part of the flash makes it think it's Sprint, and is there anything I can do, or should I just get used to Sprint and no MMS?
Note: I have been unsuccessful flashing the one and only VM Victory Rom on the phone, so that doesn't seem to be an option.
I am having a similar problem. I tried to update my Virgin Mobile Galaxy S2 from ICS to Jelly Bean via Kies, and now my device thinks it is a Sprint phone. Can't receive MMS and my receiving/sending of texts and calls is spotty. I chatted with someone from Samsung and they were unable to help me, said to take the phone in to Best Buy and have a Samsung representative look at it. I'll be doing that today.
Have you made any progress with it?
Well, I went in to Best Buy and talked with the Samsung rep and he attempted to fix my phone to no avail. He did make it so that it would run correctly so I could receive texts and calls. But it seems the software is permanent. I went ahead and signed up for Sprint's free student plan and got the S4 Mini since I needed a new phone anyway and am going to attempt to sell my Galaxy 2. But yeah. Best of luck to you.
I am unfortunately a Sprint customer. I had an ordeal just getting the sim card, to simply activate a few weeks ago... but that's for another area of the forum.
I am wondering that perhaps i am getting this issue due to not having a Sprint provided N5 and since i used Google Voice for my messages, I never bothered to setup Sprint voicemail.. nor do I have an app on the phone for Sprint voicemail.
I get 2 messages.. and each time looks like this:
//ANDROID:[email protected] has sent you a Sprint Voice Message. Call 408-970-0000 toMMSN,c9c98480707,400,V68a+Im3diX//CM
It comes in every 3-4 days... and just doesn't want to stop. I don't even know how to check Sprint VM to get this cleared...
Anyone else experience this? Any suggestions to get these texts to stop?
Hi all, I am using a Verizon samsung galaxy s3 as stated in my title and the question I have is about using this cell phone on AT&T service. I have already added the AT&T apn and changed my network settings to GSM but when I recieve phone calls I no longer have a voicemail box. I downloaded the AT&T voicemail app and it says my number/acccount is invalid. I also reset my voicemailbox pin and tried again and still recieved the same message. I want to know if it is possible for me to get voicemail or if i should just give up on it?
Thanks for your help in advance!

That might be an question for AT&T, although it may not be setup correctly. You can always use youmail which is a free app for voicemail

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.
