Got an honor 8 for my fiance a few months ago and had no problems setting up Google voice to handle voicemail. Just picked up one to replace my mother's Nexus 5, and for some reason voicemails are still going to AT&T no matter what I do. No idea why. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hoping someone has a solution to my scenario.
Right now, I have a Galaxy Nexus on Verizon. I use my Verizon number for all calls and SMS. I'm test driving my Nexus 5 on GoPhone (AT&T) until my Verizon plan is up (at which point, I'll either stick with GoPhone if I like it, or find something else).
Is there a way for me right now to get my Verizon number's SMS to show up on my Nexus 5? Is there any app, etc.? I don't want to fart around with porting my Verizon number to Google Voice right now - I will do that when my contract is up, and that will be my solution. But I need a solution for until that point.
If there is no way to do this, that's okay. Thanks for reading. (For calls, I'm just going to forward my Verizon number to my AT&T number through Verizon's webpage).

Thank you for the suggestion. When I downloaded it on my Nexus 5, it told me "Integrated messages is only available for Verizon customers," so I think it's not gonna work. I think I'm just SOL until I port my Verizon number to Google Voice.

Yeah Verizon SUCKS
There are some apps that will forward your SMS to a different number too

I have seen those. I'll probably set one of those up. I was really hoping for an app that would allow me to receive SMS on my Verizon phone, and send as my Verizon number from my Nexus 5. Guess we're not there yet, without the Google Voice port. Again, thanks for your responses!

Google voice is great. Just do it.
Only issue is you can't currently receive MMS through it.
I use GV + straight talk prepaid
It's cool too because you will be able to keep your old number and receive all your calls to it too

Okay so about maybe half a year ago at best maybe a tad longer people calling me and my family could get through at random times. Sometimes the calls would go through other times the calls would go straight to voice mail or it would act like it's ringing on the other end but never does. Verizon said it was the phones i had the note 2 and they had the s3's so they sent us out 2 s4's and a note 3 and problem still persists. What i want to know is are we the only ones having this problem or are there more verizon users like us who have this issue? it doesn't matter if the person calling is on us cellular at&t or sprint or using a landline. texts come through fine.

I am having the same problem. I had it with my last phone, htc rezound, and am getting it with my new phone the htc one m8. Part of the reason i sprung for a new phone (at off contract prices!) was to resolve this issue which it has not. Doing some research no one seems to be able to get any answers, verizon just mostly wants to reset peoples phones or send out new ones. I have read some people say that this has to do with corrupt contacts associated with your google account, but with any average amount of contacts thats a pain in the ass to try and delete and re-add everyone. Currently I am atleast trying to delete and re-add my few main contacts that call frequently and see if that changes anything.

yeah.... i'm not deleting all my contacts and re add them, i have to many. i have this problem still with the m8. had it with fascinate, s3, note2/3, droid razr, thunderbolt. basically almost every phone i've owned!! and it's very frustating!
I don't want to call in. How would I get my msl? Also I'm on stock, no root.

Online with Sprint Chat is how I've gotten mine on my Note 2, 3, 4, and now 5. Just tell them you develop apps and need it to test your app with.
Also got mine through chat. I just asked for it and didn't provide a reason. They gave it to me no questions asked.

You can also try to go online to sprint and activate an older phone for 20 min then reactivate your note 5 again and it should give you programming code for manual programming if needed that would be your msl. But if it shows 000000 then you have to call and ask for it.

Chat worked for me. It was quick and painless.
Call in, chat, or in store. This day and age, they don't care about giving out your MSL. Other than that, there's no way - or at least that I know of.
PS. Don't call a store. We cannot look up account information over the phone.
If you root ... You can use galaxy tools 3.1.8 by idoneapps but u will have to search high and low for the app

Well back in 2014 I purchased the htc one m8 from Verizon which was a huge mistake because the bill was huge aswell. I then left Verizon after about half a year and went to metropcs and purchased an lg. Me being a noob I didn't know that you could unlock phones for a different carrier. So for the longest time I've just been using the m8 as a really nice Ipod. So just a few weeks ago I purchased sunshine and unlocked and s off my m8. I did research and found I needed apn settings and I found the correct settings I needed for my phone. After that I called metro pcs and they tied the device to my account with the imei and the SIM card number, over the phone. It worked out dand, I could see the word metropcs at the top and I could call my friends and my parents, I could text and send picture message. It even said I had 4g lte at the top. But here's the problem. About 4 times a day I will lose all service, and to make it come back on I have to attempt to make a call and as soon as I make the call it drops and says call lost. And then give it about 5 mins and I have my service back and I get all my messages that I would have gotten before all at once. Unless I try to make that call I won't have any service. This happens about 4 or 5 times a day and it's really annoying. I need help on how to fix this. Would I need to flash a custom rom like viper rom instead of this Verizon crap? I'm running android version 5.0.1 and I am unlocked and s off.
Try a different ROM like viper and see if it solves it?

I had originally SM-G955U and i wanted to get rid of the verizon bloatware so i flashed SM-G955U1
all is working fine except the voicemail notifications. I am not getting any notifications of having voicemails. I called my phone number using a different number and left a voicemail.
I am not getting anything.
Does anybody know how i can fix this to get notifications of voicemails? I wouldnt like to be calling my voicemail to check if i have any messages.

How's it going man. Most people install Google voice and setup their verizon number to forward to Google voice voicemail. With the unlocked firmware, you lose the visual voicemail app from verizon, and that's the only hiccup for me. I use Google voice, it has the voicemail to text option for free unlike Verizon's offerings. Good luck, let us know if you get it working or need help.

Dang. Where do you think you got stuck with Google voice? I wish I had a tutorial for you to follow, it was more of a pain without having a Google voice number setup it seemed.
