For some reason all of my calls are going directly to voicemail. I use Youmail on cyanogen 7 and can't figure it out. I was thinking about uninstalling youmail but even if I uninstall the app, my calls still go to the youmail service/
Any suggestions on how to stop my phone from automatically going to voicemail and/or how to actually disable youmail service from handling my calls?
ok i'm signed out of youmail account and still all my calls go directly to voicemail. I use this for work so this is really frustrating. I tried exploring sprint voicemail options and couldn't find a setting that would allow my calls to ring.
ok i think i figured it out. Somehow i had a blacklist of numbers in my call settings. i don't know how that happened. Maybe my butt did it or something. Very weird.

I'm trying to enable Google Voice to be used for voicemail on my phone.. but I'm having lots of issues.
I'm running the CM6 Nightly (update every day or two) and have no Sprint apps left on the phone. I Installed/updated the Google Voice app on my phone, activated my Voice account for voicemail online, and called the number that it told me to call.
I am getting an error "Unfortunately your network carrier is currently not supported..." when trying to configure my voicemail for Google Voice.
Not sure where to go from here.
At the moment the only way I can access my email is by calling my number the old fashioned way.. I also get like 4 text notifications for every voicemail. I'm not sure why I get so many?
Thanks for any help.
You can ignore that setting. All it's really telling you is that GVoice can't automatically change your voicemail settings without calling a special number. As for the texts, go to your GVoice page on a computer, Settings, Voicemail, and un-check the Voicemail Notification texts.
I am running CM6 RC2 and if you use sprint VVM you get a text whenever you get a voicemail. So I was told to try out the Youmail app, its pretty much the same except its got 10x the ammout of customaization. Anyway I deleted the sprint apk and I never had the updater apk install since you dont need it I guess.
Anyway I now have the youmail app installed. I set up the setting correctly I think. I set it up to forward the calls to the youmail app and I tried test calling my phone to make sure the voice mail is properly set up. I test called my phone and instead of going to voice mail it goes to the youmail receiver and asks me to enter my phone number and pasword so I can hear my voice messages. Its not prompting the caller to leave a message instead its acting as though I am calling it to hear my voicemails.
What am I doing wrong?
You test called your phone from another number I assume?
When you say you forwarded your calls to youmail.com you typed in the access code and got the two beeps that it activated?
I've been having trouble with my VoiceMail. I'm running CM 7 and using the Sprint VVM 5.1.4.8 and the Voicemail will not pick up. The phone just rings and rings. I disabled Google Voice and did *38 to stop call forwarding and it still won't work. I can go into the app and hit "compose" and record a message to myself and send it and it shows up fine. But when I use another phone to call my phone, it just rings on and on and the VM never picks up. I could really use some help!
Thanks
Anyone ???
There's a couple things you can try.
More Deactivation Codes
You can try some of the deactivation codes listed on this page. Particularly the *730 and *740 ones.
Did you happen to "integrate" your Sprint/Google Voice? This could have happened at the Google Voice webpage, or when you installed the Google Voice app. If you didn't click "Skip" on the first page of the wizard, it automatically integrates your number. I think you need to do more than a disabling of Google Voice by removing that integration. More info may be helpful here.
The other thought I have is checking what you have set under Settings->Call settings. Do you have "My Carrier" chosen for the Voicemail service option?
Maybe a call to Sprint to have your voicemail re-provisioned would help if nothing else works. I know some people have had luck by sending a message to [email protected] or something similar.
Hope some of this helps.

I did integrate Sprint/Google Voice, but I'm pretty sure I've deactivated it. I have tried all the deactivate codes on the page you linked. Thanks
So I use to use GVoice as my primary voicemail. I have all my calls to my mobile phone forward over. However, just today, I noticed that the *71+Gvoice number no longer works. I've tried other variations (*90, *91).
I simply get a prompt for the PIN to access my GVoice account. I've tried deactivating the phone on the website. No luck
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
I'm not sure exactly what you did.. to use Google Voice for voicemail I just enabled it in the app and in Android settings.. then I just checked the box in the app that makes them show up in the call log like normal non-Google Voice voicemails.
I may have misunderstood you, but either way good luck.
I know what I did.
The reason I wasn't able to forward my calls was because my Google Voice # my default Voicemail on my phone. (You can do that when you go to the phone app and then go to settings and then go to Voicemail set up). In order to have the call forwarding work, you have to make sure the default voicemail number on your phone is set to your MOBILE number.
Anyway, it works now.
Thanks!
I'm having a problem with Google Voice. It seems to be ignoring the setting for unanswered calls going "Straight to voicemail" as opposed to ringing other phones. Callers (when they call my real carrier #) will hear 10+ rings before getting to GV VM. I've resorted to going back to carrier VM because of the excessive rings.
It seems like GV is ignoring the setting and ringing my other "phones", even though I have no additional ones listed and unchecked the Google Chat forwarding.
I've tried deleting my phone from the list and re-adding it, but that does nothing.
Has anybody run into a similar situation and how did you deal with it? Anybody know someone who works in the Google Voice department that can help directly? This is very very annoying!
Thanks!
