T-Mobile Dash Voicemail Issues

Hello everyone,
I have been using youmail's voicemail service for some time now, but I am having some problems with my new Dash. My missed calls are being forwarded correctly, but my voice mail short cut, 1, is not working correctly. I change the voice mail number, Start -> Settings -> Phone -> Call Options, but when I reboot my phone it reverts to the default T-Mobile voicemail number. My question is does anyone know of a way to make this change permament. I asked youmail support, but they said to ask T-mobile. T-Mobile told me to use their voicemail service. Hopefully, y'all can help.

[Q] Google Voice/ FDN/ PIN2 Question

I'm setting up Google Voice and saw that there is a fixed dial number (FDN) setting.
My questions are :
1) Will this option make it so GV's access number is the same on every call?
2) it asks for a PIN2 number. I tried 1234 and 0000 and neither worked. Tmo is stumped. I did not set a number. Does anyone know another possible default code?
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
FDN restricts outgoing calls to only the numbers on a pre determined list. See en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_Dialing_Number for more information.
This will not affect google voice, since when you make a google voice call it is an incoming, not an outgoing call from your phone. If I remember correctly, there is a setting on the google voice page to control how your calls appear on caller id (random number or GV number)
If you want to use FDN, the default PIN2 is 5678, keep in mind that t-mobile does not support the use of this feature, so if you lock yourself out they may not be able to help you.

Thanks for the reply. Is there anyway to have GV use a fixed access number. I use the myfaves paln to get free unlimited incoming/outoging calls. But when gv changes acess numbers and I don't catch it fast enough, I get charged.
As far as I am aware (from my knowledge of using google voice and from searching) there is not a way to prevent the access numbers from changing.
If you want to use one number for all your calls, you can start by calling your own GV number and selecting option 2 (place a call) from the main menu.

[Q] Problem with Receiving/Retrieving Voicemail on GSM GNex Using AT&T

***** FIXED ***** CALLED AT&T TO RESET VOICEMAIL ***** PLEASE REMOVE THREAD *****
I am using a stock GSM GNex, unrooted, and I noticed, when I receive calls, the caller does not go to voicemail and when I attempt to check voicemail, I am told that I do not have a voicemail box. This is a new problem, because before, I had voicemail and I set it up using AT&T. When I long press the number "1" on the dial pad I get a recording that says to enter the phone number of the party you are trying to reach. I enter my phone number and it says that the number is not listed. I can receive and make calls to anyone no problem, but voicemail all of a sudden stopped working. I went into the phone settings and checked the phone number listed as my voicemail number, it is not the same as my regular phone number, so I changed it to my number and I was getting a busy signal when I tried to check my voicemail after that. Any ideas??? I don't think calling AT&T will do me any good as they think I am using a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. Please help, I need to get voicemails if I don't get to the phone in time!!
Thanks
I'm not sure how to fix your problem but, have you tried google voice as your voicemail client? Maybe you can use that instead.
To be honest I want to fix the issue and I don't want to use Google Voice. When I did a search before posting this I read a lot of people were using that service, but I want to get the real problem fixed. Thanks though.
Does anyone think the problem could be because I have a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket as my main phone on my plan, and that phone uses visual voicemail? And somehow now the phone won't activate voicemail because of that? When I dial my number and call myself, I get a busy tone.
1) Your VM number is either incorrectly programmed into the phone, or whoever set up your account didn't provision you with the VM feature. Call your carrier, they can verify with you whether your phone is correct or it's their system. No one on XDA can't help you with a shortcut.
2) Get Google Voice. Carrier VM systems are utter crap by comparison. That is the "real" solution to your "real problem".
The voicemail number is the same as it was when I set it up the first time. BTW, using Google Voice is not the "real" solution to my "real problem". If you don't know the answer to the question or you think no one else here will, you don't have to emphasize your love of Google Voice, I just don't want to use it so I am trying to figure out how to fix it. Thank you.
Oh, and maybe you should change your user name if you hate AT&T so much.

[Q] Way to forward calls placed to data only number?

So, I have a Nexus 7 LTE with an AT&T Sim and I'm able to receive texts on the mobile number assigned to that sim. Unfortunately this is confusing some that think they can also call that number which leaves them waiting for an answer that never comes.
Does anyone know how to trigger the call forwarding to my Google Voice number (usually through **021*1234567890#) without having a dialer? If I root it and put in the stock dialer (or enable it? I heard it may be there but disabled) will I be able to dial the forwarding codes? I know I can't make calls with the dialer, but I don't know if that necessarily means the codes wouldn't work either.
Thanks!
Update/Correction.
The number only rings for some callers (VoIP callers?). For most people calling my data only number it just tells them that I'm not accepting calls at this time... which is a little better... maybe.
I imagine some people are going to think that means I've blocked them or whatever. Of well. I'll just have to re-educate people to use my Google Voice number as they bring it up.

[Q] Verizon Note 4 on AT&T problems with Voicemail Notifications

Hi all, I've been asking around on AC forums and haven't got an answer yet, but going to see if tomorrow I can get to an ATT store for tech help. No help on the phone at all, just 3 different Tech reps going over the same thing again and again, with no result. Tried third party apps Google Voice and Youmail, can't even get the access codes to go through. The phone seems to be having errors, because it's looking for the Verizon Voicemail and even though I was able to set speed dial #2 for dialing ATT's Voicemail service, all I get is Missed Call notifications. Not every missed call leaves a voicemail, so would like some sort of Notification to alert me to my voicemails. Need this feature a lot. When I dial the access codes or even try changing to the ATT voicemail their Way with Holding down "1" , all i get is Call can't be completed and an error code. Also a message at the top of keypad screen saying No Sim, Sim Error. To me it seems like it's trying to dial the Verizon number, and it can't because of being on ATT. Has anyone had this problem?
Does anybody know a workaround. I was able to get google voice forwarded to my cell phone number, but doesn't still give a notification. I do get emails sent, even though send a text is clicked on Google Voicemail. Also spent time with their tech support with no help there. Notifications is Set and I have an alert for it on the Phone's Voicemail setting, so that's not working either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
You can set att voicemail to speed dial 1. I don't know the number. I just downloaded att visual voicemail app and got it to work. In order to set voicemail you need to go to settings>aplications>call>voicemail settings. Then input the number you're trying to use. It will save it as speed dial #1
