Question Lost Visual Voicemail App - Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

My S22 Ultra (SM-S908U1) lost the Samsung visual voicemail app after updating to OneUi 5. I've verified that Visual Voicemail Basic is active in my Verizon account.
Has anyone else experienced this or know how to correct it?

No, but my phone was blocking saved contacts and all voice-mail! It was blocking calls from my parents and my doctor!
VZ had to reset me on the network

If you're using one of the T-Mobile prepaid plans, I've seen in other forums where having T-Mobile turn off your T-Mobile voicemail fixes things. Check this out: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/voice/gbReID1_dIo and see if that's what you're experiencing, maybe their fix will work. Just an idea.
I'm not on prepaid so I decide to delete the app and reinstall seems to have gone well now I have to leave a vM to see if the issues persist
I don't know about the Google Voice, but someone else on here posted a solution for getting TMo Visual Voicemail to work.

I initially couldn't get mine to run, but after I followed the instructions by B0xer, I was able to get Visual Voicemail started. In the end, he writes that you should install visual voicemail again, but I didn't need to. I just sent the sms, and then started the Visual Voicemail app, and all was fixed.

Sprint Visual Voicemail has Broken Google Voice

Sprint rolled out an update to visual voicemail this week announcing it in the grandest of ways (An unsolicited text message)
6772: SprintFreeMsg: Your Visual Voicemail account has been upgraded. Please call in to voicemail now to record your new greeting and reset your passcode.
My problem is that I use Google Voice for Voicemail and I want nothing to do with Sprints' Visual Voicemail feature. The problem I'm having is I can't figure out how to disable it. Is anyone else affected by this issue or found a work around?

Does anyone have a voicemail app?

I used to use Virgin Mobile with a Galaxy S5. It came with a handy visual voicemail app. Figured that since Virgin Mobile uses the Sprint network that Sprint would offer something similar.
Can't find any such app. Looked in the Sprint pre-installed folder and just alphabetically for either Sprint, visual or voicemail. Nothing.
Is my S8+ unique or did it get lost or overridden when using the Google set up a new device based on another device operation? I did notice a few old or inappropriate apps getting installed because they were on my other device.
Sprint does have a visual voicemail app that should come installed with your phone. On my Galaxy S8, it's a bright yellow icon that says Voicemail.

Here you go latest version
I used Bk uninstall to disable all the Sprint bloat and Installed Youmail. There is no other app for visual voicemail like it. You can set up individual Answer Messages fot each contact, you block callers, my favorite feature is to have the system tell unwanted callers that my number is disconnected, Or have Spockd Voice tske a message. And best of all is free. I even have it at my home line and the Messages left there go to my email.
My unlocked S8 came with no vvm app. Installing the apk linked above doesn't work (thanks for posting, though), as it appears that it does not integrate with the system. I also have the persistent VM icon after reboot.

I have the same issue with my unlocked S8, did you ever find a work around? I tried youmail but didnt like that it wasn't generic and used my contact names during the message.
Me and my husband just got unlocked Note 8's. We actually had YouMail before and it wouldn't work for either one of us and I chatted with the YouMail support person and they gave me different numbers to try and mind started working. But my husband still won't work and says something about ocn carrier error and he even tried the same numbers that work for me and they won't work for him on his phone it's weird.
We have Sprint and I have something in my notifications that will not go away that says 4 new voicemails dial *86 his doesn't have that. I just leave it cause I don't want to reset my phone but I'm thinking something backed up from my 7 Edge to make that appear in my notifications and won't go away. But I don't know why the numbers you mail gave me worked on my phone and not his.
What's another good free VM app? Thanks!

Visual Voicemail built-in

Just switched over from ATT to Tmobile, i can't seem to get the visual voicemail built-in the phone working like it was on ATT. I know Tmobile has a visual voicemail app but I don't want another app when the built in function works at least on ATT. Has anyone been able to use the built-in samsung dialer visual voicemail working with Tmobile?
Thanks

At&t visual voicemail

I can't get visual voicemail to work on my phone. Talked to tech support and after an hour of trying to help me, they said this device is not supported by AT&T.
I tried setting up Google voice on this phone, but the phone won't let it forward calls. I just get an error.
Any help greatly appreciated.
What was tried for vvm?
Is it enabled in the dialer settings?
Not clear what the problem with GV is.
Try dialing *004*xxx-xxx-xxxx# (substituting your GV# for 'xxx-xxx-xxxx') to get calls forwarding to GV when your phone is busy or unanswered
When I use the *004*xxx-xxx-xxxx# I get "call forwarding connection problem or invalid MMI code. (1)"
When I try call forwarding through the phone app settings, I get "network or sim card error"
Reading online a new sim card won't fix this. I have reset network settings and rebooted. I've call ATT text support, but they have no answers and tell me this is an unsupported device.
So I can't get att visual voicemail to setup and because I can't use call forwarding, I can't use Google voice for their visual voicemail.
Any suggestions?

*004*xxxxxxxxxx*11#
That's the GSM code,works on AT&T and TMO, or at least did on my 3G phones.
Also seen **004*1xxxxxxxxxx# mentioned.
(Note 2 *s and the 1 before number

I tried both and get the same errors as before. You don't realize how much you miss a feature until it's gone. Standard voicemail sucks. Anyone else have a suggestion?
Maybe try 002 instead if 004?
(Though that forwards all calls. Could then deactivate with #21#)
Or the individual conditions using *67, 61, and 62.

They worked with TF AT&T when I last had GSM, in 2015.
Also saw some posts suggesting that AT&T won't allow changes to Cinditional Call Forwarding from the phone now and to call to have them set/change it.
With the March security update, AT&T visual voicemail now works.
