I was trying to set up Google Voice on CM6 to check my voicemail, but when setting it up there was an error saying that my carrier didn't allow this, or something along those lines. How do I fix this?
Thanks.
Once you sign into Google voice, you can then go into call settings and set it. If you've never used Google voice, go on the web version and activate your phone.

If you're on Sprint it just says it can't automatically set it up, you have to do the last steps, but it tells you what to do.
Ok. I set it up on the web. Now when I try calling my phone, after a couple rings it says: "please try again" and doesn't go to any voicemail. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

dial *28 attached to your google voice number, which can be found in settings, call settings, voicemail number.
Tried that again. Still same thing. Doesn't go to voicemail.

Well, you could always just use sprint VVM! See my signature if you want to
i got the same message that sprint doesnt allow google voice to take place over sprint voice mail. i clicked ok and ignored it and its changed to google voice mail system anyway.

Yeh, same here. But it doesn't go to voicemail when I call my phone.
its working fine for me on sprint i just had to do the *28 stuff
I remember when I set up my GV, the *28<number> did not work either. Came across another thread somewhere that suggested a different * number, I want to say it was something like *73 or *78? I did that, and GV works fine now, calls come in, then bounce over to GV after about 6-8 rings.
Another guy having a simmilar problem just requested a different google voice number, and did the usual setup. You could try that if your GV # isn't known to anyone anyway.

I had this problem after the most recent update. I tried everything. Finally someone told me to go into the web page of Gvoice and go to voice settings...and change your number. I changed my number, and then reset everything up and now it works perfectly. Hope that helps!
EDIT: Woops. Didn't read the posts above mine. Sorry!
I'm running CM 6.1 so I don't have Sprint VMM and I setup Google Voice using my cell number and went through all the steps to activate Google Voice, I then created a greeting but whenever I call my number and let it go to the voicemail all I get is "Could not complete your call, please try again." The phone I am calling my cell with is not broken or anything like that so I know it's something to do with Google Voice. What am I missing?
What color did you want it? I'm having trouble understanding what you are saying here.
Will probably be better understood here:

Basically, I setup Google Voice on my cell phone but when I call my cell phone it doesn't go to any voicemail it just says "Could not complete your call, please try again."

You also need to go to the voice homepage on your pc and activate it there for your phone.
Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Froyo-on-Hero action here!
On google.com/voice my phone number is listed under "Mobile" and it says it is activated. My number is also correct in the google voice application on my phone but when I call my phone and let it continually ring, it still acts like I have never setup a voicemail and just says "Could not complete your call, please try again."
Need some more information.
What is your carrier?
You do have Google Voice set up to send all calls to your cell phone, right?
Did you go to voicemail settings in your phone and change your voicemail provider?
Yes it says my voicemail provider is google voice but I think I found the problem. Under Call Settings > Voicemail Settings it says Voicemail Number 9165381466 so I press it to change it and it says "To set up Google Voice as the voicemail provider on your phone you need to enter a special provisioning code." So I dial the code it tells me to dial and everytime I call the provisioning code it connects for 2 seconds then disconnects.
Sprint is my carrier.
And I just want Google Voice to receive the voicemails that people would normally leave on my phone. Basically I just want it to act like Sprint VVM. And I'm running CM6.1 if you're wondering why I just don't use Sprint VVM in the first place. If I can't get voice to work I guess I'll just flash VVM.

I set mine up to work like that. You only have to call the "provisioning code" once. It is just like forwarding, it sets it up to redirect calls to google voice if you don't answer. I have Sprint, also, and loved the VVM, but google voice works great.
I know how to fix this I wrote a post on this about a year ago. Sprint voicemail is terrible. This same thing happened to me and i didnt realize people couldnt leave me voicemails for about 2 months lol. Forget the provisioning code it means nothing after you do this. Listen close because heres what you do....
1. Go to google.com/voice on your computer and at the top right it says settings.
2. Highlight settings then click the drop down arrow and select voice settings.
3. The 1st tab says phone/your google voice number, select that and change your google voicemail number.
4. Once you change it, you have to delete google voice from your phone then reinstall it to finish this. Go thru process as normal when setting it up.
5. Now the final step, go to settings on your phone, then CALL settings then make sure voicemail service is set to GOOGLE VOICE, and right under that theres a tab in CALL settings that says VOICEMAIL SETTINGS. Select that and you will see VOICEMAIL NUMBER, press that once and you will get a pop up box that says a bunch of junk just hit ok and open google voice once and it should be done.
Hope this helps you.
Ok that worked...thank you. One last question, where do I go to disable the emails that Google Voice sends me everytime I get a voicemail?
Edit: Nevermind I found it

Bone stock My Touch 4g.
My issue is, when i call my google voice number, I am use to it asking for my PIN etc.
Well, when I call my GV number, it just rings and goes to voicemail like someone is just calling me. I have activated google voice on google.com/voice and my settings on my phone say google voice. What am I missing here?
Thank you in advance. (I did search found nothing)
Are you calling from a number that is 1) not blocked on caller id and 2) listed as one of your numbers in Google voice?
You may have to set it up to use Google voice to call your Google voice number in the app settings.

I just tried mine, it goes to my message if I dial it to listen to my voicemail. Press * during the recording, then it will prompt you for your pin.

As long as I am not the only one with this issue, I am fine with that.
It's just weird, my sprint EVO 4G and my new SGII both work like I mentioned above. I call my GV number and it instantly prompts me for my Pin. Weird that the My Touch does not do that.
Thanks for your help dclaw.

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.

Still dialing ATT for voicemail after this trick. Calls go to google voice no problems, but I cannot get the voicemail number to change to google voice number. Do I have to restart phone? Any other tricks to try?

have you gone to phone settings > call > voicemail > and made sure that the phone is actually saving Google Voice as your voicemail service and settings? mine would not actually save google voice in this field until after i had entered the call forwarding dial code mentioned above. took a few tries, but eventually i got it. also, try going though voice.google.com and making sure all your settings there match up with what you are trying to do.

I finally got my voicemail to dial the Google voice number. I had to check off the stock voicemail button, then manually change the voicemail number (only way I could access that number) to my Gv number...then recheck the Google voice button and I was good to go. Thanks for your help!

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.
YAY I get to dust off my XDA account and make a post.
So I got my t-mobile S8+ SM-G955u yesterday. I use Google voice for visual voicemail and so on. Setting up the app should be straight forward as usual but calls are not forwarded to Google Voice. They go to the default T-Mobile voicemail.
Looking a little deeper I noticed in the phone app the voicemail settings is grayed out. Service provider simply has the one option "voicemail" . Odd
So I call T-Mobile and they tell me it's a Samsung issue that I don't have access to the voicemail settings. Samsung support says it's T-Mobile whom must unlock this option. WTF?
I suppose the question I have here is. Anyone else have a T-Mobile variant with the same issue? Is this a Gvoice problem or did T-mobile really lock this down to force users to use the T-Mobile visual voicemail app?
Cheers
Noticed the same thing but when my Google voice app is installed it's still getting the voicemails and alerting me
I can't even find the voicemail setting!? Where is it?
In the "phone" app click the menu button in the top right (three dots). Then select settings. Scrollall the way down. There is a catagory listed as "voicemail" . Directly under the catagory label there are some options. Service provider is click able but only one option available. Under that Voicemail Settings are grayed out.
Still can't get Google voice to work. Sucks I like the free visual voice mail.

ah... Was looking in the settings. I don't even see google voice as an option. It's not greyed out for me, but the only vmail service provider is "my carrier". I do have google voice installed...
Weird! Same with me, but the voicemails are definitely going to google voice and delivered via hangouts (WHICH I ALWAYS HAVE TO FORCE CLOSE AND REOPEN ANY TIME I WANT TO LISTEN TO A VOICEMAIL. DRIVES ME INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Edit: I got a dup notification in google voice app... I guess I'll see if I can disable hangouts for voicemail and just use the refreshed voice app and hangouts for texting, at least until they axe google voice in hangouts. I want them to switch google voice to allo anyway, much more lightweight.
Edit 2: Looks like there is no way to block voicemail in hangouts and only get it in voice app... if anyone knows a way, please share?

check your settings on google voices webpage. I have GV installed, no option in the phone dialer to config it but I only get voicemail notifications from the GV app.
I figured it out
me Level 1
I figured it out. No option on the s8 to change from carriers voicemail, so go to call forwarding, enter your google phone number under if no answer and if busy. Hurray.

Where is this option? I dont see it under Call Settings.
S8 and google voice
Call settings, more settings, then call forwarding.
If you don't know your google voice phone number log in on a computer and you will see it.
When I opened my GV application after downloading it from the Play store it prompted me if I wanted to use it for V/M, I never had to do anything to activate it in the dialer settings like I did in the past. My service is with AT&T but I don't think that would matter.
This setting is not on Sprint devices . So far I cannot get GV to work for voicemails. Mine worked the other day by doing the *28 for forwarding and broke but now tells me that feature code is not valid.

If you are on Sprint, try using *73. *28 didn't work for me, but I was able to type *73(Google voice number with area code - example *735152445611) to forward my missed calls to my google voice number. My Google voice is now working.
