Hey y'all so I really recommend checking out youmail, it's a voicemail client for your phone. And once you've checked it out, tell me if you're having the same problem i am. When I go to start > settings > phone > call options: and then try to change the voicemail default number (the number that my phone calls when I press and hold "1") I keep getting an error message saying that the settings could not be saved. However, on tmobile's end, they see the change, but still my phone just calls the regular voicemail number when I press and hold "1"... thoughts? Is there a registry hack somewhere just to make my phone call the correct number when I hold 1?
Thanks!

I wonder if you have to have your device "unlocked". I have changed my voicemail number to my main answering services vm and it works fine.
hmm
Well, I'm fairly certain that my phone is unlocked because I've modded it ALOT. Unless you mean SIM unlocked, in which case I don't think that it is.

I just signed up for YouMail a couple of days ago. Lovin' it. What I did was change my Speed Dial #5 to the YouMail voicemail number. My Speed Dial #1 is still for T-Mobile voicemail. After doing this, my calls get routed to my new YouMail number and not the T-Mo number anymore. It works pretty well for me. When I check the voicemails on the old T-Mo number, it only plays the old messages left before switching to YouMail.
Try using another Speed Dial number besides the #1. I think that one isn't changeable.
what does youmail offer that tmo voice mail doesnt?

YouMail allows you to set custom voicemails for multiple callers. It also allows you to use "Ditch Mail" for telemarketers, blocked callers, and unknown callers. Ditch Mail gives the caller a generic message stating that you aren't receiving calls from blocked or unknown callers and to try again from an unblocked number. Then (here's the clincher) it hangs up. You can also view and listen to voicemails via email. It's great.
Ive had it for a week, and love it! My friends get the silly VM messages... all else get the SMART VM where it states the name of the caller and says Im not available...
great stuff
not a bad solution but...
while changing my shortcut number five to the youmail number will be a nice shortcut to it, does that mean that if i use youmail, i'll neve get a "new voicemail" notification again? it's gonna use up a lot of texts if every vmail i get has to be announced via text message.
you can set it to only send you emails... I have a 300 txt msg plan... and didnt want to eat them up with youmail messages. SO, I set it accordingly.
hmm..
I totally understand that it is possible to do that, and if it comes down to it, I'm fine with that, however, I'd love it if youmail was more fully integrated with my phone. Ergo, if I could change the number for the voicemail system (which youmail says that you can) and receive vmail notifications, it'd be perfect. Does no one in this quite impressive community know where the registry edit would be to change that number? Thanks for all the help!
patiently awaits a response to the previous question.
Youmail offers the chance to have custom voicemail messages to specific callers...one for your love, one for your mom, one for your boss, etc... it will also transcribe voicemail messages and either txt them or email them to you! lots of other finer points... but thats a good overview

Is your service prepaid? If so, prepaid T-Mobile voicemail #s cannot be changed.
contracted
Nope,
I have a monthly plan, and even when I called the guys at tmo about this issue, they said that they can see my trying to change the number, and that it should be changing on my phone. I just need to find out where in the registry that phone finds that vmail number, and to change it. Thoughts?
Wow lol
I can't believe noone responded to you, bro. It's pretty easy. Do the following:
1) Settings
2) Phone
3) Call options
In there you will see Voice mail number, change it to youmail's #.
On the other hand, this service looks pretty promising. Thanks to you guys, I now know about it. I really hope it works in Canada too.
Will try right now
EDIT: Great, It doesn't work in Canada That sucks...Oh Well...One day I guess.
where?
sounds very impressive could someone provide a download link to this app?
The multiple voicemail responses and the voice to text of Youmail sound interesting and I will check it out after this post. Youmail looks better, just wish it had mobile call screening.
I use Callwave free version because it has mobile call screening which allows me to actually listen to the person leave a message in realtime and answer it or ignore it with one button.

I've been messing around with my GV number and i've been looking for a way to make it so that all unanswered calls on my phone go to the GV voicemail.
I've tired using unconditional forwarding.. like i believe its *61*GVnumber# i could be wrong though..
Has anyone else got this to work?
I think it will work as long as you do not have your mobile number set up as part of the GV ring list. You will end up with a loop.
Can anyone ever get the call forwarding options in the settings to save?
I've never got it to say anything but an error.
Just change your t-mobile voicemail number to your google voice number on your Dash
after looking in to it i noticed something i overlooked. If you on a flexpay account like i am then tmobile has forwarding disabled. i guess if i want that feature to work ill have to get a contract, unless i wait till project dark is announced

Hey guys, I was reading this article earlier about Google Voice...it made me wish I had it. Check it out:
http://lifehacker.com/5382770/make-unlimited-free-calls-on-your-cellphone-with-google-voice?skyline=true&s=i
I also read that they're now letting members invite people.
This might be a [email protected] question but, if you like the article what are the chances one of you might invite me? Hahaha, sorry if it is but I just had to ask!
I have a google voice account. It doesn't seem that the invite feature is available (to me atleast). Realize that unlike with G-Mail, inviting is tougher with Google Voice because Google could always pay forward and expand their ever-so-gigantic server space, but there are a limited number of available phone numbers. Due to that exact fact, I feel like Google Voice may NEVER become fully accessible to everyone unless we adopt an 11 Digit or more phone number. That is just my opinion, as horrible as it may see, although I really do HOPE that everyone gets to use Google Voice. So far from my experience it is awesome!
Thanks for the info Cyclone. You're right, it probably won't be available for everyone. But according to the Google Voice Blog referenced below you and every other account holder will get three invites...eventually. Just to begin with.

On your blog, you mention that following GV's instructions (for T-Mobile Dash) will make your GV number the number called when you press and hold "1", i.e. your GV number becomes your VM number. I did *not* find that to be the case. Does anyone else have the same experience?

You are getting it wrong. That link works, I can attest to that because I did it myself. When you call VoiceMail on your phone (by holding 1) it is preset to call the TMOBILE voicemail, which will have nothing in it. What the set-up does is change the configuration to forward missed calls etc. to the google number. If you want to access that Voicemail, you have to set the Keypress (or whatever) to call your google voice number.
does anyone know if this can work with a Flex-Pay Account with Tmobile?....I find there's an error when imputting the code to change voicemail settings setup.

As I stated in my blog "if you change your service providers voicemail number in your device settings to your Google Voice number it will automatically call your Google Voice number when you press and hold the 1 key (T-mobile)."
This means after you have set everything else up (by entering the code given to you by Google in Google Voice) YOU have to manually change the voicemail number in your Devices settings to your google voice number, in the Dash 3G it is under call options.
Does the Tilt 2 have a feature like Visual Voicemail on the iPhone?
It does not out of the box but I have been using an app from Market Place called Fusion Voicemail and it has been working pretting good. Although it there is room for improvement it overall works as expected. When a caller leaves a voicemail, the Fusion Voicemail app will launch and show you visually who left a voicemail, if you click on it, it will launch Media Player and play the voicemessage through the speakerphone. If you need to listen to the voicemail in a more private way (through earpiece instead of speaker) then you need to call the voicemail as you would traditionally. This app will also allow you to receive faxes to your Tilt2 which I thought was pretty neat.
I looked into this and sprint charges 20c a minute for "voicemail" forwarding. I hope googlevoice comes up with a slick windows mobile app soon that will include it.

The best solution in my opinion is Google Voice. Sign up for a beta invite (it took me 2 days to get mine). Once get you in, add your mobile phone. Then set your mobile phone's voice mail number to your Google Voice number. Boom! You now get 100% visual voice mail for free and it kicks ass.
You can have it send you emails or sms. No extra application, no monthly fee. I'm loving it.

I do this is as well. Set Google Voice to "Do Not Disturb" and be sure to uncheck any numbers you have in "Forwards to". This will only add 1 ring to your existing number of rings before voicemail, which is reasonable.
The transcriptions aren't 100%, but its easy enough to call your GV number and listen so I couldn't be happier with it.

+2 This is what I use but I still would like a real google app to support, would be great to integrate into a panel on WM6.5, Manila or SPB 3.5.
try youmail. It's free, sends me an email and a text message. You can configure it multiple ways and I can play voicemail through my email or dial the number and listen.
Youmail is free as long as you don't want transcription.

thanks. I took the option of using my own tele number rather than a google number. i don't think I need the other services. I then programmed the google vm access number into my phone so now when I press the VM icon in SPB it takes me to the GoogleVM rather than the ATT provided VM.
So, now I will get text msgs. of each voicemail. This is cool but I was under the impression that I would have a running list of numbers on my phone, numbers of callers in the VM (EDIT: THIS DOES OCCUR IF YOU USE THREADED SMS) and that I could access them individually, in order or otherwise. I can do that but I have to be on my internet googlevoice account to accomplish it.
Yeah i wish there was a native App for this !
Someone please come up with one. PLEASE.

when you sign up it gives you the option of using your original number or taking a google number. The google number is what allows all of your numbers to ring on all phones...home, office, cell, etc.... I don't need that.
GoogleVoice syncs with Outlook so when i get home tonight I will sync it and then the text messages should actually display my known callers (in my address book) by name rather than just number.
Now, what is funny is that I get 5 to 10 voicemails a day, normally. Since I installed GV, my phone has only rung one time and I answered. No voice mails. It is working though because I tested it with a call from my office.

I just activated my Epic 4G Touch (loving the phone so far!), and am trying to reinstate my YouMail account on the phone. The only problem is the part of youmail's site that gives me the number to call takes me to a website down message. It looks like their entire site is functional, except the page that gives me the number I need to call. I'm pretty sure it starts with *38, and then gives a 10 digit number from there. I just need to know the 10 digit number.

Thanks. This helped. For future reference (for when I get a different phone, and have to go through this again), if you want set up conditional call forwarding for youmail, download the YouMail app, and then dial the following from your phone:
*287606585793
This will send your voice mails to YouMail, and not your sprint voice mail app.
Or you can just do what Playya said which is much more faster and convenient then dialing that long number

A while back I decided to try AT&T's Visual Voicemail (VV) instead of the built-in app. I'd like to remove it now and revert to the original app but I'm not sure exactly how.
My issues with VV which if I could rectify would make it so I would keep it....
When I get a call that goes to voicemail, the green "phone" app on the home screen will show that i had received a call, but it does not clue me in to that I have a message waiting for me in a different app (Visual Voicemail). So, unless I check VV every time I've missed a call, I have nothing showing me on the main screen that the message is sitting there waiting. At least with the built-in app that came on the phone, I'd see that there was a message waiting and I could have the phone call the voicemail number so I could retrieve the message..
So, either how do I make VV hook up better to the phone app so that it warns me, or if that can't be done, how do I disable VV and make calls go back to the original voicemail app that came with the phone? I'm not sure if simply deleting VV will make everything revert, or if I might need to contact AT$T or possibly have to do something else.....
BTT
Use Titanium Backup to freeze it, that's what I did and also if you have a Google Voice number you can fwd your voicemails to GV and integrate that into the call log and listen to your VM straight from the call log without the need for att voicemail app. You can search on XDA for the tutorial or if you wait I can look up the thread and place it here when I get home.

Thank you for your response! I ended up calling AT&T and having them disconnect it, from their end. They then had me dial "1" and set up my "old" voicemail. Now, at least when I get a voicemail I get some sort of notification, instead of having to open AT&T VV every time I pick up the phone to see if I might have missed a call and gotten a voice message.
If you could link to the tutorial, I'd appreciate it!!!
Curious though...when I go into the settings of the voicemail, the top line shows "Service" (followed by Setup, Notification Sound, & Vibrate). Clicking on "Service" I have a choice of "My carrier" & "Google Voice". I have it set to "My carrier".
I did install GV a while back but never used it. When I click on GV I do have a phone number listed, along with a "welcome" message form GV.. What to do with it, I don't know, so any tutorial or guidance would be quite helpful and appreciated!!!
There may be a multitude of great things that GV can do, but all I'm currently looking for is a way that when I miss a call and the caller leaves a message, that I get notified, and don't have to actively go searching on the phone just to see if I might have gotten a message. My notifications bar at the top is so overcrowded that a voicemail-waiting icon will typically not be on-screen. So, if GV will put a notification on either the lock screen or on the bottom of the home screen near the "phone" icon, I'd be a happy man!!
You could have just deleted the apk from system/app folder
