Anyone know of a trick to getting AT&T Visual Voicemail to work on Unlocked T-Mobile? The app will install, but not connect during setup process.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
****EDIT*** It turns out that is was an AT&T issue when they provisioned my SIMS for LTE they didn't setup my email.
Thanks everyone for the help!

I have it working just fine. I downloaded the app from the app store and opened it up. After opening the app, I was prompted to dial my voicemail. Then entered my password. I had no new messages so I closed it out and then was prompted to enter my voicemail password in visual voicemail. Haven't had any issues. I am using an international ROM as well

Wonder why I'm having a problem. I'm running Alliance rom from the international thread. It ask me to enter the 10 digit mail box number of the person I'm trying to reach and when I enter my phone number it says sorry can't find the mail box. A third party app works so I'm wondering if my problem might be carrier related.
Thank you for your response.

Which version of Alliance are you using? I'm using V3.1 and haven't had any issues.

i'M ON 3.1 I think it's carrier related because it does the same on other roms. Plus I had to get AT&T to provision my sim card for LTE. I'm sure they screwed something up.

That's odd. I didn't have to do any of that. I purchased my phone from T-Mobile, SIM unlock through Cellunlocker.net, changed my APN settings and I was good to go. It shouldn't make a difference as I am using an unlocked T-Mobile variant and my VVM is working fine. Send me a PM around 7PM EST or so and I can see if I can get it working for you.

Post a screen shot of your About Phone page from the phone Settings if you don't mind.
mine is also like this, and it was like that on my old htc magic too. it doesnt stop any functionality but it is odd.
just create a contact called me with your number.

Mines been like this since day one. Made me have to remember my number right away. I always thought it was odd too. Also, is it normal for your voicemail number to be different? I also get calls from tmobile asking for whom I assume to have my number before
Oops, didn't see what forum I was in. maybe someone still knows.

In my case, the number shows up in My phone number when i use a T-Mobile SIM...
When i use a Vodafone SIM there is no number (as mentioned in the OP)...
My Handset is original Unlocked - CSC : I9100XEUKD1
Find an old skool phone (Sony Ericsson K800) this should have a menu for your own mobile number, enter it here. This will save your number directly to your SIM and it will appear on your SGS2.

Try to Just Clean Cache And Dalvik!! If IT Still Doesnt Work Then Flash A New And Latest ROM
HI Mehta,
I did that a few times and i also flashed the latest firmware for India. i also found out that somehow the phone's imei number has changed. and i have absolutely no idea how that happened. Pls help me with any information you might have.

Hey man i dont think your imei no would have changed unless you have been doing something naughty
to the network issue you have you should try flashing the csc for your county, you can find them in the dev section. the csc holds carrier information and details for mms and keyboard languages and such.
when i flash my csc for the uk when my phone reboots i will get a pop up menu that will let me select my vodafone contract as my network.
Hey Crucio,
Nothing naughtier than flashing a custom rom
I have flashed the indian rom version as thats where i am. flashed the csc also that came with the stock but imei doesnt change back. Request some more information on how to change the imei or reset the phone so i can work. Holding the phone of my dreams in my hand and not able to do anything with it.

Vijay.
Hi, I have the same problem. It is like that when you get duplicate of your sim or replacement sim. Confirmed with my network.
My sim is not a duplicate or replacement. It is working on my N8 and in another Galaxy S. Not working on my Galaxy S2.
No number in my settings either. Would of been nice to have it showing up.
Hello, I've got a quick question to ask on behalf of a friend. I recently setup her verizon note 2 for ATT service via NET10 but the problem is when I call her from lets say my phone number (111)111-1111 it comes in as +11 1 111 11 11.
I've doubled checked the assisted dialing settings and their setup as they should, I've even tried the phone.apk from the ATT NOTE 2, along with telephony.apk files... all with no result. If anyone knows a solution please do feel free to post it as I'm not very smart with this type of issues when it comes to android but I'm starting to suspect its because this phone with a sim card isn't meant to be used locally but over seas.

I have the same setup and same problem. I've looked for 3 months and couldn't find a fix. And as of 2 days ago, i'm not longer able to recieve mms. I can send just fine but incoming keeps failing to download. I've tried several apn's and nothing seems to work. it's strange because it's been working fine past few months. Other than that, Net10 is great on this phone as long as you don't have to call CS for anything.

mine does the sane thing. so I have to either go into contacts or manually put the number. checked all my settings to make sure international calling wasn't causing the problem. I have no idea what's causing this.
I did find an apn that fixed my mms issue though.

You can solve the MMS issue by getting another messaging APP like TEXTRA and adding the MMS APN setting in it. It will work fine after that.

The issue has to do with 4G/LTE. If the phone is in any other mode (3G, H+, etc...) the texts send. There is something goofy with the 4G/LTE.
Hmm, but the texts worked when the phone was on kit kat???
Im having a similar issue with incoming and outgoing calls not working even with full 4G. I can send/receive text messages and use Internet. I've been through two Sim cards and it hasn't fixed the issue. Has been doing this for 3 weeks now.
I'm having this issue, is there a work around for the texts?
just found out a workaround ... download app called Advance Signal Status from play store, and change your Network setting in the app to WCDMA ... everything should work. I know you will not get LTE, but H+ is good enough for speeds, atleast for tmobile.

It has to do with how Verizon is switching it's plan structure. Lotsa weird stuff happening with Vzw devices. Gov't screwing around.
I fixed by uninstalling verizon messenger+, installing android stock messenger from google apps, and reinstalling verizon messenger app.

I remember it being tricky when I set it up several years ago...like had to call Google or something. I may have an old post on some board somewhere about, lemme look around.
Since receiving my Redmi Note 3, I've been very happy with the phone and software, however I have not been able to receive multimedia messages, is this due to alternate APN settings?, I'm on Australia Woolworths network 4G telstra.
However these settings are default normal telstra, would this be the reason or is it something else? Cheers
Today I was trying to download a MMS but wasn't able to. I modify APN but still nothing.
Then I had the brilliant idea to change the setting to "Prefer 3G" and it worked. Downloaded the MMS without a problem.

Maybe a bug. But you don't have to keep the 3G. You just have to change to 3G to download the MMS and change back to 4G after that.
I'm with Aldi Mobile, and I can't send MMS, despite configuring the settings they provide on their website. Are you guys able to send MMS at all? I've tried both 4G and 3G, but no luck. I'm running the latest stable global ROM.
Oh, and I'm afraid I don't know if I can receive MMS sorry....
Edit: OK, I can send and receive via the Xiaomi built-in Messaging app (with 4G). Google Messenger will not send MMS, but don't know about receiving.

You have to get the message center address/number from ur provider it will b 11 digits with a plus sing. Then plug it in under settings in msg app.

Hi Megafluffles, I've got the same phone, same carrier, but even with the Mi Message option on I can't send MMS. Did you ever find out how to get the stock messaging app up and running?
Ta, Nic
Sorry for the necroposting, I hope this info helps someone. For some reason it's very hard to come by.
On my Redmi Pro it looks like this: Settings -> SIM and mobile networks, but not APN settings! Instead, somewhere at the very bottom there is an option to "Always receive MMS (even if mobile internet is turned off)". Switch it on, and voila! The MMS service is working. When you turn it off, even if the APN settings are correct and your 3G-4G network is working perfectly, your MMS "can't be sent at the moment". Good luck trying it out!
I'm using the latest stable MIUI global and the default messaging app, nothing fancy.
