I keep getting spam calls and would like to shut them off without going to voice mail. If the spammers get an indication that the phone number is a valid number they will continue to call. I have tried to block them but they have so many different numbers it is impossible.
Any ideas? Thanks
Have you ever tried youmail? Its a app that's basically visual voice mail. You can see the number the message is from and just deleye rather than dialing in entering your pin and then pressing the key to delete. Give it a shot I found out about it on xda somewhere and like it better than the regular voicemail. Hope this helps

You could also try Mr Number. That app has an option to pick up and immediately hang up on people.

So I like the Google Voice integration, I guess. Want to set it up for voicemail only and use Handcent fir text. Doesn't seem to work, or I can't figure it out. Don't want text messages in Google Voice. Anybody know the secret?

Yes the text thing is pissing me off. I just want voicemail as well.
I think you can shut the text messaging portion off in your account settings(on the computer...not on the phone)

LOL happened to me too. You have to sign in from a computer I think and "un" port the number. Reinstall Google voice and the first thing I think it asks is if u want to do the Sprint/Google voice integration or skip it for normal Google voice services. You need to skip that part and install like u usually do.
The part u do on the computer I'm not 100% about. I only did it once but i believe I found this info on MIUI.us in the EVO section.

Just turn off syncing in Google Voice. I get the voicemail forwarded to my SMS and then check the GV app manually.

That worked. Had to unassociate my number and go back to my default Google Voice number on the website. Wasn't easy to figure out. Should be a way to just opt out of text.

How do I access or setup voicemail now that I'm using ics
Sent from my MB855 using XDA A
I'm assuming you are using Sprint.
Phone settings, and change the Voicemail number from *86 to your phone number then you can press and hold number one to get into Voicemail.
The only time I knewI had a voice mail is when I got a text message from 9016, or some number like that.
you'll have to search the threads for a fix for visual voice mail (vvm).
Maybe someone else can fill in the gaps because i'd like to have vvm too on cm9.

Google Voice works perfectly for me. What's going wrong for you?
it said something about not being able to configure because of my carrier I can't find the phone voicemail options in settings at the moment any advice would be appreciated

VZW doesnt yet offer native integration with google voice. It will still work though. I have mine all set up. You have to type in a code to set your line to forward to your gvoice number when its busy or times out. This code redirects the call to google which then answers with your voicemail. I cant recall the code, i think its *28 then you type in your google number, ie *284105551212 from your dialer. The phone will look like its placing a call, then hang up a few seconds later. When youre installing google voice just tell it to skip the voicemail steps.

Just looked it up and found the following:
If you are having trouble configuring Google Voice as your voicemail service on Verizon you can make the switch manually by dialing all three of these activation codes:
*71[Your Google Voice number] -- This turns on Conditional Forwarding, which should transfer calls to your Google Voice number when your Verizon phone is busy or unanswered after 3 to 6 rings.
*90[Your Google Voice number] -- This turns on Busy Transfer, which transfers all calls that would hear a busy signal to your Google Voice number.
*92[Your Google Voice number] -- This turns on No Answer Transfer, which transfers all calls unanswered after 3 to 6 rings to your Google Voice number.
To Deactivate the Call Forwarding, dial *73 [Send]
To Deactivate the Busy Transfer, dial *900 [Send]
To Deactivate the No Answer Transfer, dial *902 [Send]
thank you. with that information I easily found this website that helped me

When that comes up click skip, ignore it.

Yes... Remember once you set up GVoice and do the correct forwarding codes, it will continue with every phone after that, until you reverse the codes again. The forwarding codes are not specific to your phone. They are part of your actual service. So if you switch phones, all you have to do is setup the GVoice app and change to Google voice mail in your settings. SKIP everything else., like the previous poster said.

I have been trying to get my phone to change my Voicemail service to Google voice but it will not change. I am running the Base 0.7.3. Anyone else experiencing a similar issue?

Can't you just dial *004#googlevoicenumber#
That always worked for me.

I get the following....
"Connection problem or invalid MMI code"
Edit --
It's actually... *004*1googlevoicenumber#
And it worked for me!
I've had no issues. other than the numbers being listed in the call log are the Google Routing Numbers...not the name of the person in my contact list.
Go to your google voice page on a computer. Go to the settings. Under the phones tab there should be something like "activate my voicemail." It will give you instructions similar to what is posted above.
Thanks worked perfectly.

I also had to use the *004* mess to get mine to connect a few days ago.
Ah yes. Sorry about the first pound sign.

I tried this, but the number does not change. It stays the same after I hit Enable.

That sucks. It worked for me.
Did you encounter any problems while setting up the voicemail for the first time?
I had issues getting it to work when changing settings on the phone, so ended up updating the settings online, which worked for me.

I had to change online, but it only changed the voicemail setting for incoming calls. So if someone calls me it does go to Google now. However if I try to call my voicemail using #1 Speed dial or Voicemail icon on the bottom left of the dialer it calls ATT instead of Google. And I that's waht I am having trouble with...
I couldn't get it to work either but I downloaded the AT&T visual voicemail app from the play store and that one works great

Has anyone successfully paired any third party text app with GV so that it can be used for texting and NOT use your assigned verizon number but rather your GV number? Not just for texts but photos too?
I've checked out textplus, Handcent, etc but cannot get them to use my GV number
I've had mixed results when someone sends me a picture to my gvoice it will show up in Gmail. I have never seen anyway to send them.

GVoice doesn't support MMS, though it getting sent to email is new to me.
