I have my Nexus 5 on straight talk with an AT&T Sim installed. I am looking for an app that downloads my voicemail to my phone so I can listen to it without having to call my voicemail. I had this on my old Motorola Photon (stock) with Sprint.
What do you all recommend?
Anyone?

I have a rooted sidekick running the stock ROM still on Fido and one of the only things that is getting to me about running a non-carrier phone is the lack of visual voicemail, I never realized how much I liked it until it was gone.
I am not that knowledgeable as to if this is possible but as FIDO does have a Nexus running visual voicemail can that app be sideloaded or run on a sidekick 4G????
U can use google voice as a visual voice mail just set the option to no international calls that's what I use

I looked into that earlier but google voice is only available in the US now.
how about phone fusion vm?
If you integrate your sprint number to Google voice and then terminate you contract do you keep your number? If not, what if you wait and just leave after contract?

Bump... anyone?

All integration is doing is replacing the standard vm with gv vm. That is if you're talking about sprint and gv. I don't know for a fact but that sounds logical. If you go to another carrier, and want to keep your phone number from original carrier, you have to go to the new carrier and tell them you want your old number on their service. Once they do what needs to be done, your service with the original company will be shut off. You do not need to do anything to make this happen with the original company. The original company will send you a final bill and you pay it. The porting process just takes a few minutes to go through and it's done. Your old number is on your new service.
Integration does a bit more than just replace VM. You're able to SMS from the GV site, app, chrome extension etc as well as receive calls from your sprint number on gmail.
Yep... I ported my number, but kept my default SMS app on my phone, but can still use GV on the web to text. So I can still get my MMS without hassle of forwarding to my email. Also I was under the impression that since its ported that you can't lose your number since its on google and not to the carrier. Myth? Thought I heard that on TWIT AAA. So even if you change carriers you could just set up your google voice no matter what your new phone number is since you can use your old one in its place. Make sense?

That would be correct

Well I understand the benefits of porting the number to GV but my question was is it any different than Sprint integration? Is it permanently ported or do I loose it if I break the contract and have to port that number before I change carriers?
There could be a difference.

I would call Sprint and ask them. Remember that you can receive SMS and MMS through the native app and still have your number integrated is a feature that someone "not" on Sprint has the ability to do.
Also you have 90 days to try your number integrated before you lose your old google voice number. So you can always go back.

Yeah. I can definitely ask sprint but chances are I'll get some moron who doesn't know anything or will lie to me just to get me off the phone.
I was hoping I can get someone here who has done it and can confirm.

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

I switch between an M8 and M9 on my HD Calling-enabled Verizon line.
Noticed that when the M8 had the SIM, it did not any longer give voicemail notification
sound or icon in upper left corner. After a kind Verizon tech went thru every conceivable
scenario, he discovered that if the M8 is used on an HD Calling enabled number, voicemail
notifications won't happen. Switch off the HD feature, and like magic, voicemail notifications will again appear.
Just wanted to share this in case there are any of you that run into the same thing. I hope the Android M
software will cure this........

That's because when you upgrade to advanced calling it also changes your voicemail to Verizon visual mail basic. Did you install that app on your m8 and see if your voicemail arrive?

It's not. When the op activated it on his m9 OT activated more than just volte/HD calling. It tacks in basic visual voicemail as well. No more calling to get voicemail.
Going back to the m8 you would likely need to install their vvm app to get voicemail. On the same note when you activate advanced calling on the m9 it also clears any voicemail call forwarding that a google voice voicemail user would have setup.

Thanks for reply. Did a clean install of M8 stock 5.0.1, activated VVM free edition, then called from another phone and left voicemail.
Phone does not give alert or place a voicemail waiting icon in top left of phone. I don't want to cancel HD Calling
on my lines, but I would like to continue to use the M8 and get notifications. Any thoughts?

If that's cancelled, how to get M8 voicemail notifications?
Wanting to alternate M9 and M8 on my lines, so don't want to
cancel HD Calling unless I have to.
