I'm running EVOlutionV8 and have the Voice Message app installed, but when I receive a voicemail, rather than downloading the message, I receive a text message stating "So and so (insert their number here) has left you a voice message. Call xyz-123-abcd to listen." I then call that number for voicemail.
Any idea how to resolve this so that I no longer receive text messages for voicemails, and they're downloaded automatically?

It seems like the number that the text is sent from changes with each person, unlike the voicemail text. I can't blacklist it in Handcent this way. Is there a way to turn off forwarding just for texts?
open gvoice then menu/settings/sync and notifications and uncheck notify via txt msg

That disables the voicemail text as well, however.
All on, or all off. Can't have just one.
Besides, GVoice VMail notifications should come in through your notification bar just like GVoice texts do.
Hey guys. Just did the whole Google Voice deal where my Sprint number becomes my Google number. All I want to use GV for is voicemail, that's it. I can either get 2 texts (GV and my regular text messaging) or texts on my regular messaging app but it would disable all notifications including voicemail (which I want only voicemail to appear).
How do I get rid of the texting feature? I only want to be notified by GV for voicemail and notified by my texting app for my texts.
BTW, I'm running the GV app as well.
unfortunately GV wont let you change the type of phone ( mobile, home, work, etc.). you have to delete your real number then add a new number and set it as a non mobile number. ( use the tab at the bottom right of the GV screen that says upgrade ) you can then choose a new GV number and stop the texts from GV
I have my home Vonage number forwarded to my GV number. If the person calling hangs up or I answer the phone, the call will get logged in my "Received Calls" log. If I ignore the call, there is no record in the "missed call" log. Is this normal?
Yup you are right it will not show up
One of the first things I tried to do with Jellybean was to send a text message by saying "send text to contact_name message message_text." Doing this prompts me to select either sms or google voice. Since I blocked SMS on my number and rely on google voice, I tried that. The little block that showed the contact and the message goes away and leaves a big empty space afterward, and below that regular google web search results are shown below it. If I chose to send it via normal SMS it goes through, then I get a notification that SMS messages are blocked for this number.
Can anyone successfully send google voice sms messages using voice commands??

It's obvious that Google Voice is not updated to work with Jelly Bean yet. I'm sure they will update it soon! I too am waiting for this!!
I can confirm the same behavior. Annoying.
My provider (Wind Mobile) sends me notification texts when I receive a voicemail. In these texts is a shortcut 5-digit number, which I can dial to listen to the specific voicemail directly, instead of having to dial the main voicemail and using the menu to listen to all new messages. The text message will say something like "dial 00025 to listen to it directly".
When I got my phone, these messages would have the 5-digit number hyperlinked, so I would just press it and it would take me to my dialer, and I could call it. After my phone received the 4.3 update, these types of numbers no longer were hyperlinked to the dialer, and this behaviour didn't improve after the 4.4.2 update either.
Does anyone know how I can restore this functionality in the stock messaging app?
