[Q] Visual voicemail

anyone using this free service w/ the g2x? do you recommend it?

I used to use it. Then I discovered Google Voice and haven't looked back.

I use it in the rare instances I get voicemail and I have no problems so far on the g2x. You have to call T-Mobile and activate it on your account (it's free) .

Huh, I just checked it out in the market.. Check out the last dozen or so comments.. "Doesn't work on the g2x". Obviously it's working for you..

Working here.

I use Yap (search for it in the market). It's free and simple and works well. Very good speech to text recognition too.

youmail. love it, and it freaks my friends out when my voice mail knows their name...

Working fine here as well! The T-Mobile app that is.

I don't see why it shouldn't work?
For me it works out of the box, no activiation needed.

Just verified again that it works. Called my phone left a message and it instantly downloaded into the t-mobile visual voicemail app. I had to activate it a looong time ago with my G1. Only had issues with it on Nexus One.

+1 for Google voice. Not only does it work great for voice messages but also to send them to you via email. It has pretty good voice recognision and I also like that I can use it to call out over my Google Voice phone number, which I use for a personal business.
It's especially nice for calling someone who you know is avoiding your calls (lame friends) so they don't recognize the number.

Really no visual voice mail!

Can't find visual voice mail that came stock like the iPhone 4?

are you talking about youmail, or visual voicemail plus?
arent those kind of the same thing as google voice?

I like google voice, you can check you voicemail online, it transcribes(usually poorly, but but better than spring vvm, when i had my epic.)

Google Voice.

you make a lot of threads >_>

yep google voice. sux that any visual voice mail on att not on the iphone is considered a forwarded call and thus uses your minutes but atleast it's not a surcharge like on sprint to use call forward or use sprints transcription service. i used youmail a while back because for some reason on a stock captivate rom that phone wouldn't set call forwarding up to the google voice number for the life of me. if would just fail for no reason. yet it worked for the youmail number. on an i9000 rom my captivate set up google voice just fine. go figure. what i will say is that toe youmail transcription service works better but it is not free, they may still have a free trial for it though.

there is no other platform that has the 3rd party app support and dev comunity. the iphone ui sux. they are constantly doing hacks to get andriod features but they are never as good. meego looks good but few phones have compatable bootloaders.

I can't forward my voicemail at&t number to GV voicemail. On GV app setup when I click configure voicemail and choose GV, it just bring me back to configure voicemail,
I remember when I had my iPhone 4 and some called be on my att number and was sent to the voice mail, the voicemail was forward to GV voicemail.

I had trouble too. Just came from iphone also. You need to log in on your PC not the Google voice app and set it up there Google.com/voice . You should be able to find where it says activate voicemail. Click it and it will give you a long number to call mine started with a *. Enter that # as if you where making a call and press send it will activate your account. I tried and tried to get it working from my phone but ended up going it this way. Good luck

Why not just dial your cell phone number, enter voicemail passcode and listen to your VM's?
Or, have them forwarded to Google Voice?

1) Do what I do... uninstall an reinstall google voice.
2) SKIP the sprint integration
3) Follow the normal google voice setup
It now acts like VVM and doesn't display texts

Visual Voicemail on cricket.

So sprint got too expensive and I switched to cricket, but I can't get YouMail or Google voice to work for my voice mail. I'm assuming this has something to do with being on MIUI and not having the dialer codes, I had to flash back to stock at the cricket store so they could flash the phone to cricket, because they needed the dialer codes to be in the phone. What I'm wondering is if I flash back to stock, then try setting up YouMail or Google voice, if that will enable the call forwarding to either YouMail or Google voice. I hope this question makes sense.

I'm not sure I see the connection - Google Voice always worked - locked or unlocked, rooted or unrooted. At least for me.

Same here. I use it all the time.
XT1080
UNLOCKED
STOCK- SOON TO UPDATE

I could never get it set up due to Verizon blocking it. When I tried I would get some pop up message saying is not supported. Because they sell a similar version for 3 bucks a month.

Unless you are referring to a popup during setup that informs you that automated configuration of the voice mail is not sported - I have no clue what you are talking about. The voice mail setup popup can be skipped and then Google Voice provides instructions what to dial to manually forward voice mail from Verizon to Google Voice - always worked for me. For years.

Same with me. I use Google Voice on my Droid Maxx as my main phone number and texting application on VZW. Never even occurred to me there could be an issue.

I just use it for voice mail, and I forward my home phone to the number when I travel (which rings the Maxx.) It works great for me, too.
That said, the app could use some updating...

It's going to be integrated into Google Hangouts soon. Whether that's really "updating" it or not, we'll have to wait to see.

If you are just using it for the voicemail, try better youmail. It integrates the voicemail in the call log.

Um, I don't get a lot of calls, but Iirc, so does gv on the alert of a new vmail. Unless my mind was playing tricks on me. But like I said, I don't get calls very often and even less to they get sent to vmail or leave one.

Google Voice does that as well, if you want it to. (For people who want to know how, in GV, menu, settings, Voicemail display). I don't want it to.
