Any way to get visual voicemail.
One of the few things that I miss after getting streak
Sign up for Google Voice, log on to your GV account and find the link then follow the directions to use GV for voicemail. Download the GV app from the market, ???, profit
edit: and set GV to Do Not Disturb. I think they don't tell you that in the instructions.
theres also hullomail

I think it uses your normal voice minutes allocation to use it
in the USA Google voice looks to be a much better option..
Google Voice also has the transcription feature (hit or miss depending on if the caller can annunciate words)
There is also PhoneFusion Visual Voicemail
youmail works great too
I am using google voice as voice mail.
Easy set up and it transcribes tooo . Love this feature as i can read when i am busy in a meeting
Thanks for the tip as I setup google voice and it worked well!
I want to replace my t-mobile voicemail with google voicemail service.
Does this mean that if people call my regular t-mobile number, their voicemails will be left on google voice? The thing is, I configured my Voicemail service to use Google Voice, and I tested by having my brother call my t-mobile number. However he still went to my t-mobile voicemail! Did I configure it incorrectly or am I missing some key component?
Download Google voice from the market, then run through the setup again and sync it with your gmail account, then it will ask you if you want to use Google voice as your default voicemail and disable t-mobile voicemail. Then that should do it.

go to browser google voice settings and activate ur google voice mail by entering code shown there.....that will ring ur phone if done correctly(imp). and just follow the prompt....that should do it....i think that's what i did..
1. My Sprint number is tied directly to Google Voice via the built-in integration.
2. I have the EVO 3D.
Is there any reason why I would want to use/install the Google Voice application when I already get everything directly through it anyhow?
I'm pretty sure that in order to receive texts, you have to have the app installed.

Not if you leave it set to text your phone as well.
To the op only reason I have the app is to get voicemail
Thanks for the responses. I get and send text messages via the phone and it all shows up in Google Voice (the web portal). Voicemail is transcribed for me and then emailed directly - and I can still check it from my phone by holding 1. So it sounds like I don't need to install the app. Thanks for confirming
What about for international calls?
1) If someone calls me internationally, can I pick up with Google Voice wifi and not have to pay as much?
2) If I call a international number, is it cheaper if I initiate the call through the web UI?

Online through voice settings I believe.

Voicemail. I hate the stock voicemail interface.
Yup........voicemail. You pretty much get Visual Voicemail with it. How else are you supposed to retrieve your voicemails? Dialing your own number? This is 2011.
I decided not to install the app cause the MMS issue. All my texts/mms work fine but I dont receive visual voice mails. I still wont install the app cos its a pain in the ass to open the app for everything.
Might be a dumb question but how can I get the text to not go through voice and go to the stock messaging app so I don't have to open up voice to read my text I'm on mikg 2.3 and have an EVO

Your text will always go through Google voice once integrated, but there is a setting in the app and web page that lets them come in as regular texts as well. Mms always goes straight to the phone even if you integrate and install the app.
I prefer Google Voice for visual voicemail mostly because GV gives you free text transcription.
What I do is just have the option for text notification so my texts still go through the stock message program and I pretty much ignore GV for anything else. Now whenever I miss/ignore a call and I get a voicemail, I get a text from myself letting me know I have a voicemail and I can then open the app. A bit of that text also contains some of the transcribed voice message left and who it was from. This also helps save battery/data (unlimited plans yes I know) since I don't have to leave GV logged in all the time etc.
My only complaint is that I would like the text notifying me of the voice message to look as though it came from the person that called me instead of myself.
use it to answer you sms through google voice web page,
ie google.com/voice or the google voice extension. also phone calls too
I did not see a reason to use the Google Voice app for my integrated number. My texts and mms go though the native app, I get a text with the transcribed voicemail or I press and hold 1 to listen to them.
However I setup the Google Voice App with my other Google Voice number. So I can send and receive texts and listen to voicemails for a secondary number.
Also with the return of Sipdroid I setup the same Google Voice Number that is in the Google Voice App, now I have 2 fully functional lines.
For those that love the Google voicemail but hate the merged text messaging, you need to login to Google voice, unnassociate your phone and install the "lite" version.
Do not chose the Integrate with Sprint option.

Disable inbox notification in GV app and enable text notification. Everything is logged in GV but text come through your regular app. I still have to checkout voice mail. I believe if voice mail notification is set to text to your phone, everything will be notified though regular messaging app and you can open GV app to get your voice mails.
Yup, like donnie said. I can delete texts off my phone, but they're also backed up on Google voice.

Just confirming, if you enable text notification and disable inbox notification in GV application, you get everything through text message. You will have to open GV application to listen voice mail but for text default application will be used. Everything is still logged into google voice.

I have had Google Visual VoiceMail forever on my T-Mobile account, works great and would recommend it to everyone. I also have a Thunderbolt with Verizon and have been using their stock voicemail service. Can I add my Verizon Thunderbolt to my Google VoiceMail? I am not sure about having two different carriers sharing the same Google VoiceMail number?? I have not tried yet, don't want to screw up my settings and be pissed off at myself for a week. It is great being able to get my voicemail messages from my laptop. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Vinny
Yes
The short answer, yes. The long answer, yes.
You have Google voice on your phone (I'll assume you just said yes). Go through the setup process (Your phone needs to have the same gmail account as your T-Mobile Google Voice account set up on the TB). When it comes to the part where it tells you it is going to setup the settings for your phone, it will kick out saying something like "some carriers don't allow automatic set up". It will also give you a link to the GV help Center. Follow it on your phone and do what it says. Then, hit next/ok all the way through to the end of setup. Go to Settings/Call/Voicemail Service. If it says Google voice, you're done. If not, choose it.
Under Voicemail settings, it will give your voicemail # (rather than #86) and your gmail acct #.
Done.
All google voice does is set up a forwarding rule with your carrier to send any missed calls to Google's voicemail number instead of your normal one. You can actually do this by hand by entering a combination of digits, but the app streamlines it for you. Google voice doesnt know where the calls are calling from. Then of course the app on your phone just checks in with the Google Voice server the same way it does with the Gmail server, so all functionality is the same. You could install the GV app on 100 phones and they would all have access to your voicemail.
I am looking for an app similar to YouMail or Google Voice that will just answer the phone and play a custom voice message depending on contact group.
Unfortunately, YouMail or Google Voice are not working in my country.
I don't want to use the carrier's voicemail system but to store the messages on the phone.
