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?
on the notification bar it says three new voicemails with *86 under it , but when i click it, it dials something incorrect. Where can i find my voicemails on CM6??
You can search for the Sprint Visual Voicemail VVM apk, or download and install google voice for your voicemail.
Either way, you will always get those darn *86 voicemail messages on every reboot, and everytime you come out of roaming. I find it extremely annoying, but you have to learn to deal with it.
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.
Re install visual voice mail apk from sprint and it will provision...
how about the texts from 9016? any way of getting rid of those? also how about the native voicemail alert, i still get those as well...?
Okay I'm on my T-Mobile SGS3 and I got the Google Voice app. I only use this app to make International calls/text messages and I use this app as my voicemail.
Now, I think I have the voicemail portion set up properly. I set it up using google.com/voice and disabled the old phone and 're-enabled' the new phone in settings on the computer browser.
and now when I test to see if it works, i DO hear my voice-mail message and my google voice number also works. so it seems like it works, but when someone leaves a voicemail, i don't get a notification or anything. but my OLD Samsung Vibrant receives the notification instead.
tl;dr / cliffs:
installed google voice app
google number rings on phone
my voicemail 'message' works
when someone leaves a voicemail, i don't receive it. my old phone receives it.
That is odd. Have you tried uninstalling Google Voice on your Vibrant?

Go to Google Voice on your computer and check the phone account?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I have the very same problem and my old phone recived notifications. The work around, not a fix, is to have google voice text you when you receive a new voicemail. To turn that on go to google voice settings on computer and check the box to send you a text when you receive a voicemail.
On Sprint, I got this to work by disabling voicemail on Google.com/Voice and then re-enabling voicemail on the website. I'm not sure if this is what you've tried or if you simply disabled your old phone and added your new one.
For some stupid reason, the setting doesn't exist on the phone itself, but doing this seemed to push the setting. It even greyed out the forwarding option on the phone. Good luck.
****. i dont think i disabled it from my OLD phone.
when i went to disable, i just hit the ##004# code on my new phone. i thought it would disable it completely. but now i guess i needed to put that code on my old phone?
which i can't do now cause t-mobile deactivated my old (large) sim. and also i reflashed a new stock rom on my old phone.
is that even the issue? the fact that i put the "deactivate" code using my new phone?
I used Google for voice mail but had a lot of problems, I switched Youmail and couldn't be happier, might want to give it a try..

okay, well, i've been workin at this for a couple hours now lol
and i don't know wth i did to fix it, but i fixed it.
tried a bunch of things. like re-installed the app. changed back to the carrier voicemail for a second and changed it back. changed it on google.com/voice again.
one of those things fixed it. everything is back to normal
I can't even get GV to configure my voicemail. I get a com.android.phone has stopped working error. ATT is of course no help. Anyone have other ideas?
I've done the following:
Uninstalled - Re-installed
Forced my GV # into call forwarding
tried the *004*1(GVnumber)#
and a Factory Reset
All with no luck....

Same here. AT&T
I haven't rooted my phone yet so I can't delete apps but I had ATT delete my 'att messages' app to see if that was the issue. It was not.... Back to the drawing board.

It always crashed when changing voicemail providers on my old Skyrocket.
But then the voicemails still worked properly.
Not on the SIII, not yet. I havne't messed with it too much yet though.
T-Mobile user, this is how I got it to work:
Installed app, went through the steps to set it up till I got the com.android.phone error
logged into GV on my PC, removed old phone
reran setup steps, same error
verified GV recognized the new phone in web interface
seems to be working fine after that
