[Q] How to Set Up Google Voice Voicemail on Note - Errors out - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Has anyone gotten Google Voice working on their AT&T Note? It errors out when I try to switch to it via the app or through settings -> call -> Voicemail service.

Mine works just fine without setting it up at all. I get visual voicemail and everything.

Reinstall and run the setup by launching the app

Same issue here.

I'm having the same issue.

Actually i take that back, i tried again and it worked for some reason.

I had this problem in order for me to fix it i went to google voice from my computer, deleted my phone from the list in google voice and then set my phone up again from my computer. after that it all worked fine.

Similar problem - just Error with no more information and an OK/Cancel button
Re-install didn't work.
I ended up using the code from GV to "activate" the phone and that set all the forwarding numbers. It appears to be working, but doesn't say that Google Voice is the provider.
Still would be nice if MMS would work with AT&T/GV, especially since the messages just get dropped.

I had the same issue. Make sure it says ATT in carrier when you log into google voice (the website). If it doesn't, try to redetect it. Mine still showed Sprint for 48 hours before it detected I was actually on ATT.
Also entered the codes as mentioned on this site:

The important part to save you a click through:
"Second, open up your phone’s dialer and dial the following, replacing 1234567890 with your new Google Voice phone number…
*61*1234567890# (then hit send)
*62*1234567890# (then hit send)
*67*1234567890# (then hit send)
You should see a message appear on your phone after each time you press send. This will set up your AT&T account to take all calls when the phone is busy, when you decline a call, or when your phone is turned off or out of range and forward the call to your Google Voice number."
After doing the above I was able to change Carrier in settings to Google Voice without any problem.

Alternatively, you should be able to dial *004*xxx-xxx-xxxx# (where xxx-xxx-xxxx is your Google Voice phone number) and press call and it will automatically set everything up as well.

This is what I did and it worked perfectly.

Using either the single code or the individual codes, the forwarding numbers are all fine, but I still cannot change the provider to Google Voice. I don't know that that hurts anything.

caderoux, you should be fine. As long as the forwarding numbers are there it should automatically go straight to your G Voice inbox. You can always call yourself to double check...

Just had to go into Settings->Call->Call Forwarding and set the "Forward when unanswered" to my Google Voice number. For whatever reason, "When busy" and "when unreachable" were set properly, but the "when unanswered" wasn't being set by the setup process. However, voice worked fine once that was manually set.

I was also having problems manually setting it up, so i called the *004*xxx-xxx-xxxx# code with my google voice number and its working perfectly now.

Setting up through Gvoice did not work.
Dialing the code on my phone gives me a "call cannot be completed" message.
I had to go into Settings->Call->Call Forwarding and manually set all three forwarding numbers.
Edit: I just realized I was missing the # on the end of my gvoice number. The code worked when I put it in correctly.

[Q] How to get back to ATT voice-mail after uninstalling GVoice

How to get back to ATT voice-mail after uninstalling GVoice?
I went to https://www.google.com/voice/b/0#phones and deactivated my Gvoice account. But then what should I do next?
I believe my voice-mail is still forwarded to GVoice somehow. I tried and left a voice-mail on mail phone, the notification bar indicated that I had 1 voice-mail, but I cannot listen to it. When I dialed 1 on the phone, it went to 804-214-6647, and said that I had no voice-mail.
I believe you have to go to Settings > Call > Voicemail service and select My Carrier.
under GVoice settings for deactivating Voicemail it says:
1) Enter the following exactly as written, as if you are dialing someone:
##004#
2) Press "Send" or "Call" on your phone to dial that number. When you see the confirmation message on your phone, you are done!
I did all that before I posted here. My problem is that my phone keeps dialing the Google Voice number instead of my ATT voicemail number. Can anyone provide me the ATT voicemail number please?
You should be able to access att voicemail if you call yourself. Make sure the call forward settings are not still set on the gvoice settings.
I think the VM dial in and forward numbers are regional. If you call att they should be able to provide the number. When my wife went from the captivate to an iPhone all the forward settings are not there on the iPhone. Att was able to reset all the settings from the network side.

The call in number is your cell number.
I had to call a CSR and have them reset it for me. A little bit of a pain but it is what it is.
Hope its OK I add a somewhat related question. In my dumb attempt to get visual VM back (from SR), I installed At&t Messages. Yeah no bueno. I've removed the app but my VM is still the hybrid setup with their crappy service. Will I need to call in and have them undo this mess?

Try dialing ##004# then hit send. That should reset everything.

No its not. The ATT voicemail number is a different number. Your own number gets you into your voice mail box, but that is not giving you access to your voice mail features. Been there just this week! Since this number is not always the same between locations, I suggest you call ATT, tell them that google voice mail hijacked you, and they will give you your specific voice mail number. If that does not help, send me a message.
FIXED. I called ATT and asked the voicemail number that was programmed on my device and it worked. Calling myself also worked though.

Google Voice issues

Has anyone else tried to set up google voice for the default voicemail only to receive an error message. It seems att has blocked the changing of voicemail services.

I had a similar issue, but I was able to get around it.
Try going into Google Voice on the web and hit the "activate voicemail" link. It'll give you a number/code to dial in the dialer on your phone. After I did that, GV on the phone was able to set up voicemail correctly, iirc.

Thanks that worked.
Still doesn't work for me. Tried uninstalling and re-installing GV and also using the deactivate/activate link on the GV website and I'm still getting the error. This is frustrating.
Just go in and manually change it yourself in the phone settings, under the forwarding options. There are 4 options, leave the first one disabled (forward all calls). For the other 3, change them all to your Google voice number (for ex., 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx) and you will be good.
Anybody has any idea why auto-configuration in GV does not work?

I'm almost positive it is AT&T wanting you to use their (nonexistant) Visual Voicemail app. My Skyrocket did the same exact thing. International GSII on ICS even worked fine.

You guys are simply amazing. Had this problem which I suspect is because of the SIM change. I had no problems switching from my Captivate to Atrix.

is google voice working for you guys?

wondering if someone could please check as I am not getting texts and when someone calls me it goes to voicemail and I don't get the message.
Are you using Google Voice separate from your actual Sprint number or did you have your Sprint number made into your Google Voice number (though using the sprint integration, not actually porting your number to GV)?
If it's the latter, here's what happened to me. I had been using Google Voice & Sprint integration on my EVO 4G. Immediately after activating my SG3 last night everything was still working, but when I got up this morning I logged into the Google Voice web interface and realized something had been borked. I didn't have a phone number associated with my Voice account at all, and calling my cell number from my office phone sent me to Sprint voicemail rather than GV voicemail.
There was also no Phones tab under GV settings (and Settings was missing a good number of the tabs that are usually there) since sometime after the activation process it disabled the GV integration and my GV account no longer had a number at all.
No worries, I just clicked the "Get A Google Voice Number" (or however it was worded) in the left column on the web interface and went through the process again. I said I had an existing number, and it asked me to type it in to get my options. It recognized it as a Sprint number and asked how I wanted to integrate it. After that everything set up like it was before and I didn't even have to re-record my GV voicemail message since it was still there.
Hope this helps.
Thanks so much for your response! I did not integrate the numbers. Every thing looks perfect on the website. I can even make calls with Google voice. Its just when people call me it goes right to voice mail and i cant get the message if they leave a voice mail. So frustrating! Anyone else.
I did the integration method... but when I got to the screen after the choice of using a google voice number or the sprint number, the button was disabled. I rebooted my phone and everything worked fine. I get phone calls on my sprint phone from my google number, my phone also displays on their caller ID as my google number. Hell, I can even get MMS now to my google number (forwarded to my phone's messages) that I didnt think I could before.
something to check
i just had a similar problem. i was screwing with groove-ip and i stopped receiving calls.
go to google voice on your pc
go to settings
it should show you the "phones" tab, if not, get there
make sure you don't have any other phones checked for "forward calls"
i had "google chat" checked and it screwed me up
hope this helps

try disabling voicemail via the google.com/voice site. and then re-enable it. i haven't had a chance to try it yet, but it seems like it worked (the forwarding option in call settings on the gs3 is grayed out now).

This worked! I was constantly getting a "Forwarding number change failed" on my AT&T SIII when selecting Google Voice for my voicemail service, but I just followed the steps under Settings > Phones > Deactivate Google voicemail on this phone and then Activate Google voicemail on this phone - once you do that, the forwarded numbers under Call Forwarding on the phone list my Google Voice number like they should
Here's my only issue with this though.... if you could change the Voicemail service from My Carrier to Google Voice like normal, the next setting below it gives you options for Voicemail settings for Google Voice - that lists the number to dial, which is obviously your GV number and not the carrier specified one.... On the dialer, if you press the Voicemail icon without having GV enabled as the correct service, it dials the carrier specified one instead! I'm sure that when a voicemail comes in and pops up on the notification bar, I'm just going to click on that and read / listen to it there, but not having the option of dialing it straight away from the dialer is a little half-assed....
I found this for a solution on an S2 for AT&T, might give that a try and see if they can figure it out for me

You're right, I can change the number listed manually, but it still says "My Carrier" and not "Google Voice" on the voicemail service even though the number listed is now my GV number.... I got with tech support at AT&T and they called Samsung to assist with this, but I don't know why they did, it's an issue with AT&T and most likely Visual Voicemail preventing me from being able to change the voicemail service from "My Carrier" to "Google Voice" and Samsung couldn't do anything to fix it
I was only able to switch my VoiceMail provider from AT&T to GoogleVoice by using the dialcode listed @ voice.google.com (*004*<insertyourGVnumberhere>#), and it works, even though the Dialer settings still shows "My carrier" instead of "Google Voice" as the provider, and attempting to change it in the dialer still says "Forwarding number change failed".
Anyway, my problem now is that I can't for the life of me figure out where to change the timeout before it forwards to VoiceMail. I test-called from another phone and it rings for at least 60 seconds(!) before forwarding to GoogleVoice, instead of the 15 or so it used to be.
Where do you change this, or can you

On my Sprint SGS3, I wasn't able to set Google Voice as my voicemail on the phone itself. However, I went through the process as far as I could (within the Google Voice app), and then logged on to Google.com/Voice > Settings > click on "Deactivate Google voicemail on this phone". After that, re-enable Google Voicemail and you should be good to go.
Soon after that, the settings on the phone were greyed out and voicemails came in as expected.
Sorry if this isn't so clear! Time for bed and my brain isn't firing on all cylinders. Good luck.
It's not working for me either. Seems there's issues on Sprint and T-Mo too with the SGSIII and Google Voice. I hate using stock voicemail. Hope the next Google Voice update cures this.

Me too - luckily I saved the activate/deactivate google voice in my contacts list so was able to change the forwarding ok. Not sure if there's anyone at google that takes feedback on these kind of issues or not - but I haven't seen many things responded to on their feedback forums (like DST / calendar sync issues for the last few years with no fixes). Get what you pay for I guess.

I don't know if it's related to your problem but every time I try and switch to Google voice I get the error
"Failed to retrieve and save current forwarding number settings. Do you want to switch to the new provider anyway?"

Have you gone to the website, blown out your number there, then setup the phone again?

Yes. There is that error too.. To get around that you can manually set up the Voicemail number by using *004*[phone number]#. I believe you have to turn WI-Fi off for it to work.
I think you can also call T-Mobile and give them your voicemail number to set up.

I also did this, and it works insofar as missed calls ARE now forwarded to Google Voice. However, my phone still uses "My carrier" as the Voicemail service in Settings and, unfortunately, I don't get any notifications from Google Voice for new VMs.
Not sure if there's any relation, but I can't even set up my T-Mobile Visual Voicemail. It just times out, and tech support said "known error, try back in a few days".

I'm having the same issue in call settings. I cannot switch from "my carrier" to "google voice" without an error. Google voicemail works properly but I don't get a real notification. I have it setup now so ill just get a text message.
EDIT: got it! I just uninstalled and started all back over again.
This has been going on for awhile now... I have the same issue on my S3. The MMI code doesn't even work, it errors out. T-Mobile has manually set it and it still doesn't work. The only time that Google Voice picks up instead of my T-Mobile voicemail is if they call my Google number AND I don't send it to voicemail but let it ring out (otherwise it goes to T-Mobile voicemail). Frustrating as hell.
I was able to fix it by setting all the numbers in the Call Forwarding settings to my Google Voice number. It still says "My carrier" in the call settings, but missed calls forward to my GV voicemail and I get a notification.

Have you tried going on GV, disabling past phones, and activating the new one? There is an option where you will enter a code (do it without wifi calling on) which is like **044*GOOGLEVOICENUMBER#
It will send a code to fix the forwarding. Did that and had no issues, it's under the settings option if you log on to GV..
ive been having the same trouble
Pre-paid T-Mobile customers can't use GV for voicemail because there is no call forwarding.

This is what worked for me. This informing following info was found in a Tmobile forum. The 1st step likely isn't necessary but was done during my stumbling to a solution.
1. **004*1(Google voice number) #
Again that part may not be necessary.
2. **61*1( Google voice number) #
This command forward calls if no reply
3. **62*1( Google voice number) #
This command forwards calls if not reachable
4. **67*1(Google voice number) #
This command forwards calls when busy.
Note: to check status of forwarding use the following commands .
*#61#
*#62#
*#67#
To cancel forwarding use the following commands .
##61#
##62#
##67#
The following command changes forwarding delay.
Also,it is untested by me so I'm not certain if the forwarding number should be changed to the Google voice number or left as is try at your own risk.
**61*18056377249**seconds#
(For example, 5, 10, 15, etc.)
I found on the T-mobile forums that the way to fix this is manually set the call forwarding settings to your google voice number. That has worked for me and so for no issues. Pretty sure dialing the ** numbers is what the Call forwarding menu does in the background.
Seems to me like google voice doesn't work with wifi calling.
It's weird, seems like when I'm on wifi and someone calls me, it goes into a loop.
It'll ring on my phone, caller will get call forwarded but it seems to forward back to my phone so it rings back again.
Has anyone gotten google voice working with wifi calling?
