I finally found the rom I like, Avatar, flashed that and everything works except for the AT&T voicemail app. It keeps telling me there is no voicemail number on the sim card. I used another app and copied the voicemail number to the card but it still can't find the number. I can call my voicemail on the phone and get to the voicemail but the voice mail won't set up. At first the dialer told me to use the settings in menu to set the voicemail up, but I can't find the menu to do that. Anyone got any help please. Need voicemail.
I had the same problem with cm10.1. Tried everything I could think of even, called att = no help there. So I just went back to Google voice. I like it better anyway cause I can check voicemail on my PC browser. :/

Ok, I will give that a try, I called AT&T and they gave me the voice mail number. I put it in contacts and called that works, but the app I am using won't find the number and set up. For some reason with this Avatar Rom there is no voicemail number associated with it. Other roms I have had no problem with this app setting up voicemail. One other Rom I played with had the same problem but there was a menu on the dialer with settings to insert a number for voicemail, but this is missing on this one.
Is this the visual voicemail app? If so, you might try removing and reinstalling. Make sure wifi is off when you try to set it up. Mine won't setup after a rom flash unless I turn off wifi and let it connect to data.

I switched to CM 10.1 I think it was and it set up pretty good. Thats basically the same rom for looks that I can see. I have no idea why my voicemail number isn't on the sim card and I can't get it over there .
Still not working here on cm10.1. The wheel keeps spinning after I enter the password.

Doesn't work with 4.2 yet.
Just checked the play store and AT&T updated the Visual Voicemail app, works with 4.2.2 now. Installed and working here!!

Boo yah! Not only that but it works on WiFi. And if you are like me, you turn your mobile data off. Please you get it transcribed and emailed. AT&T charges and extra four bucks

so recently I havent been able to use my voicemail because when i call it, it says i can enter this sweepstakes thing. So i got youmail a voicemail app that was giving me a voicemail that worked fine. Recently my phone doesn't redirect to youmail, when ANYONE calls they now get the sweepstakes junk. I've tried looking this problem up but can't find anything.
Edit: my rom is cyanogenmod 10.1 newest nightly. (the forwarding voicemail to youmail was working fine the other day while I was on the newest nightly.)

After numerous attempts of doing numerous things, I finally got my phone back to the following condition:
Unlocked Bootloader
TWRP
NO root
Oreo 8.0 stock ROM (from backup created by TWRP)
Everything works but I have no voicemail capabilities. If I call my voicemail, I get a busy signal. If someone else calls me and I don't answer the phone, it just rings and never goes to voicemail. I have been looking for the Sprint Voicemail APK to no avail. All threads either lead me to Visual Voicemail APK, which no longer works or doing a ##BRAND# dial to Sprint which should reload all native Sprint apps that are not on your phone. After call and reboot, still no voicemail app. I tried to sideload a RUU with ADB but that failed with numerous errors. Using my TWRP backup was the only way I got back to where I am. I don't know why the backup didn't have the voicemail app.
Soooooo... Is there anywhere I can get the Sprint Voicemail APK? I don't want to do anything major to get this working for fear of not being able to get it back to its present state. Worse comes to worse, I'll just do without voicemail.
Thanks in advance,
LJ
Don't quote me but there should be a way to extract it from the ruu but if you copy it to the os it might not work if anything else is missing.
Your other option is to flash back to stock and start over with the ruu in zip format, flashed from external sd.
It seems to me that the app is there but something else isn't right or missing.
I like Google Voice for regular and visual voicemail and everything follows from one phone to another.
Ok. I couldn't sideload a RUU without getting error msgs. I found the correct RUU.EXE and installed it successfully. But I still have no voicemail. How can this be? I thought this would bring my phone completely back to stock.

I don't know where you might have gotten Sprint VM in the past, but it wasn't included in the stock firmware. Hopefully you have it fixed now, but I would do an profile update first. If that doesn't work try dialing ##72786# and reset your carrier information. That will wipe out the carrier information and reboot where your phone should do the hands free activation.
Well the saga continues. I spent over an hour in the Sprint store with one of their techs. I have to admit I was impressed with his efforts because I don't have the Sprint warranty and the fact the phone has an unlocked bootloader. He tried for over an hour, everything he could think possible, reprovisioning the phone, resetting voicemail, he even swapped out my sim card, to no avail. He said it definitely was a phone problem and everything on Sprint's end was setup correctly and to call HTC. Just got off the phone with HTC a few minutes ago. She asked for my IMEI number, put me on hold, came back and said "Voicemail is a paid service provided by Sprint and they have to set it up it is definitely a Sprint problem". It is beyond me that NOBODY (Sprint or HTC) can tell me where the voicemail app is stored on the phone, how it gets there and who puts it there!!!

Again, VM wasn't included on the Sprint HTC U11 from the factory, so it won't be there. You will get an icon that will let you call your VM (your number) that will allow you to retrieve it from Sprint. That was a change from the HTC 10, where the 10 and older had the Sprint VM app installed.

Have you considered the nuke option of using the RUU to reset your phone back to factory standards?

I already flashed a RUU. I found it odd that some of my apps were still on the phone after the flash. The guy at the Sprint store tried the Youmail route. It has to be able to access my Sprint voicemail account and at this time nothing can access my voicemail. Even after the guy at the Spring store double checked my voicemail account. Think I'll find another RUU and try to flash again. And so the mystery continues......
Think it's time to throw in the towel. I've sideloaded,flashed with TWRP and tried an .exe RUU file no no avail. I even downloaded a different RUU file thinking the one I was using might be corrupt. Still no voicemail. I just don't understand when you take a phone back to stock how voicemail can be missing.

I hate to break it to you, but the Sprint HTC U11 never had a voicemail app. So you can flash RUU's until you are blue in the face and you won't get a voicemail app, because their never was one. You dial 1 in your dialer to access voicemail now. Additionally, their is nothing you could have done to mess up your voicemail, because your voicemail is never on your phone, it is only on Sprints servers. I do not know what app you think you had before, but it was never a voicemail app from HTC or Sprint, because this phone has never had one. Hope this helps

Well I could have sworn there was a "Voicemail" in my app drawer and when I selected it, it would list all my voicemails. If I selected one, it would play it without calling into my voicemail.
It must have something to do with Sprint recognizing and authorizing my phone to access voicemail. I don't understand how I am able to make and receive calls, access data,etc. but yet not voicemail. If I ever get it fixed, I'll update the thread.
VOICEMAIL ISSUE RESOLVED!!!!!!!!
After the insistence of wfrandy that the U11 has never had a voicemail app, I thought I would call Sprint technical support one more time. She reset my voicemail and it WORKED!! I'm not sure why the first time I called Sprint or after spending more than an hour at a Sprint store with their tech guy they could not do what she did.
YEP, wfrandy, you are correct. The U11 has no voicemail app. And YES, your post helped. Many thanks!!!!

Glad to hear you got it worked out. I know your frustration, I have had Sprint HTC phones since the OG Evo 4g, and every one of them had the voice mail app, until the U11. I pre-ordered it and got it on release day and spent way to many hours looking for the VM app, among others, that are mysteriously absent in this phone.
I was curious if anyone else with Verizon had a problem in the stock phone app not being able to read your visual voicemail. After I get a voicemail the only time I can read it it's for a few seconds when I get the notification at the top of the phone. When you go into open the app all you can do is listen to them. I tried a bunch of different Google dialers which worked but no voicemail works with any of them.

I kind of got it working on the havoc ROM. Every now and then it says starting visual voicemail. But it's working
I am stock. Visual Voicemail has worked with my Verizon sim since day one for me.
Wth is visual voicemail? My first real smartphone
Visual Voicemail from Verizon essentially lists the voicemails you have on your account. It will typically list them in the dialer you are using. Instead of having to dial out and check your messages, you can simply click on it in the list. You can manage them that way too. One step further is having Visual Voicemail to Text which has the actual message transcribed into the feed so that you can read it versus listening to it.
I prefer using Google voice for vm you free transcripts texted to you
I think OP is talking about voicemail to text as I was having the same exact issue. It is really annoying. Especially when you have to pay $2.99/mo for the transcription.

Anyone else, same thing happens to me. The notification has the transcript so I know it's "somewhere" but can't ever see it.
This is actually comprised of two underlying issues.... see my breakdown here:
