Yes you can, I haven't ever done it from the app, but in your account online you can prompt it to call you to record a greeting.

VIP Call List?
First, thanks OP for posting this. Seems to work great. Long pressing on a contact brings up options which includes "add to VIP list". When I select it a pop-up says that the contact has been added to the VIP call list. What does this actually do? I didn't notice anything different after adding a few people to it.
you need my favs on your T-Mobile account. they dont offer it anymore ...

Thank you for replying. I have MyFaves on my account. I just never used a MyFaves app. before and I never payed attention to MyFaves because I have an unlimited minutes plan.
If you still have a my faves account.. THEN you need need to get a google voice number.. and put that as one of your faves.. and you will never use your minutes up..
Not true, the new google voice app sets up a new number for each person you call or text.

It was posted sometime back that tmobile has already address that issue and thus fixed it... no more free minutes.
I have myfaves and google voice... I have been trying to do that but the tmobile site will not allow me to edit my myfaves anymore.. need to call them and have them change/edit myfaves over the phone.

This is not the myfaves app we all know.. its just an app that puts contacts you choose together for easy access.. it shares same name as myfaves that you have 5 ppl you can call for free. I extracted the real myfaves apk but will not work on my G2 even though I do have a myfaves account.

You should still be able to get the MyFaves unlimited minutes to contacts through google voice but without using the Voice app. You have to actually call your google voice number and then use the menu to place a call (a pain but should still work).

That's weird because I just Edited my MyFaves on their website last night. I took my Google voice number off and added a different one (on unlimited minutes plan).

I got this last night as I was expecting to only be able to add the five numbers I already had chosen and could clearly add more.
So by any chance does anyone know what the VIP call list feature is or does?
When I looked at the rom I extracted both apks.. one read faves.apk (which is the same one posted here on this thread but has been around the forum for few weeks now) and another apk titled myfaves.apk I tried both and only one worked wich was the faves.apk, the myfaves.apk didn't work and said something about network issue.

so... this is not the myfaves app? ok...cuz i really dont see a need for that app.
Faves is what? like a secondary contacts list of just people you call most/ choose whos on list?

[Q] Skip Google Voice VM Setup?

Has anyone noticed lately that when you log in to google voice, it doesn't give the option to skip voice mail setup? Any way around this?
Huh? I only get asked when flashing a fresh rom

I usually sign in and out of google voice on a daily basis. It used to offer a "Skip" button when I would get to where it asks for the voicemail setup. Not seeing that option any longer. It's not a big deal or anything.. just requires me to go into settings and switch my voicemail options back over to my carrier.

Another solution Los?

I am getting tired of this 3g signal going out and I ha r restart phone to get signal back. Is there any way of using wifi for phone and txt.

Yes. Use Google Voice and Groove IP. Sprint lets you use voip service so you can use your own #.

ChompSMS can send text through Wifi
I moved two miles outside of Sprint's "coverage area", so when I'm home (as not to constantly roam), I bought an Obi110 and hooked it up through Google Voice. You can then hook up a regular house phone, and answer my cell calls through that. Still receive my texts and calls on my cell through wifi at home with Google Voice also.
This sounds like a good option for someone living on the edge of the network
sprint has a device that goes through your broadband internet and rebroadcasts cell signal

Which would do what, exactly, for this problem? The issue is the phone losing CELL signal. If the device rebroadcasts a CELL signal via the Internet, nothing will be improved. The OP was asking if they could make calls/send texts via Internet.
To the OP: Not unless you want to use a new phone number. If you don't mind a new number, then there are alternatives. Otherwise, no.
Sprint lets you use your own # for Google voice and groove IP works off your Google voice account to make wifi calls. I use it every day.

Does AT&T have a free voicemail app like Sprint?

I can only find the pay visual voicemail app. Sprint had an app where the voicemail would be sent to your phone and you could listen to the sound file without calling your voicemail. Does AT&T not have anything like that?
Before anyone says it, I don't want to use Google Voice since I want that to be a separate phone number.

Try Visual Voicemail Plus. It even works with aosp.aokp, cm9, cm10, etc.
I ise att's visual voicemail app...not the att messages app. Do a search for it here on xda. Make sure you are provisioned for visual voicemail.
That's the link I posted.

Doh!!!!
I have used this AT&T Visual Voicemail App since the Original Note.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.att.mobile.android.vvm
Before opening it for the first time you need to call Customer Service and have them completely reset your voicemail.
Once they reset your voicemail open your AT&T VVM App and go through the steps.
It works for me every time.
Good luck
Sorry guys. When I said free, I meant completely free. No app cost, no monthly cost (don't want to pay for visual voicemail).
To those that suggested Google Voice, did you even read my original post? I want to keep my Google number separate from my regular number. Am I missing something here as to why people suggested it despite my OP?
Anyway like I was saying, Sprint provided a free voicemail app that would allow you to listen to your voicemails without calling it up. It would send the voicemail to the app whenever you got one.

Did you take a gander at visual voicemail Plus? I never had to pay one cent for it.

Did you read MY post? I linked you an official At&t app that does exactly what you're asking. All you need to do is call At&t to have visual voicemail provisioned and it's free.

Sorry again. When you guys told me about that app, I saw the 3.99 price in the Google Play description and didn't realize that was for an upgrade. I didn't even have to call AT&T to provision. Just started working.
Thanks for the help.

You don't need to use your Google Voice number to have use google voice vvm. I've been using google voice vvm like this for 2 years now like this.
Everytime I try to set gv as my default voicemail it keeps giving an error though...anyone else having this problem?

I use AT&T Messages. It threads sms, mms, and transcribed voice mail. Works great for me.

I got the same error. If you just change your voicemail number to your GV number it will work. Also go to google voice on the web and follow the instructions to deactivate and reactivate your phone.
