You need to deactivate GV if you want VZW voicemail back.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
i had done all of that as stated
*73 was supposed to be the deactivation code for VZ how ever i was only getting an error
the answer for me was
*900 and
*920
i both of those and it worked like a charm. you have to end the call fowarding and those were the only codes that worked
but i thank both of you for your help and suggestions.

When receaving a call I get a voice message saying that there is a call from ----- press 1 to accept the call press 2 to go to voicemail. I am using google voice.
Are there any sugestions. I've gone to settings in "call", "google voice" ect.
Go to GV on your computer and go to settings. There's an option to turn off call screening.

Make sure to set that as the default on all groups, unless there are groups which you wish to have call screening.

WOOOOOW thanks for this. I've used google voice for a while and i have no idea why it just started doing that recently but it was driving me nuts.
What is the point of using Google voice instead of just regular? I apology for my ignorance.

It will write it in text. I see a use for it only when using a nexus device, which doesnt have sprint voicemail

I like that it saves all your text and voice messages online, and it is extremely easy to reply to messages from your computer.

Ever wish u had a second # u could give out? Want to be able to screen calls or listen in while someone is leaving u a vm? Wish some folks calls would just go to a spam folder & never ring ur cell? Wish u had an app that did all of this & gave u a second phone #? If u answered yes to any of these then u need a GV account.
Hope that helped.

Lmao you're a good advertiser. Can I get that using the account using the phone? I think I already have a GV but I didn't get a #. I'm slightly confused but I understand the awesomeness of what you said.

If u never completed setup of Ur fb account just go to Google.com/voice & complete the account setup to get Ur #. Once u've done that simply go to the market & download the gv app & set it up.

Has anyone figured out how to make it work? In voicemail settings there is no option to select Google voice to handle voicemail.

I think you have to call *28 and your Google voice number... in the setup it tells you. Works fine for me
Sent from my SPH-L710
Thanks. I tried that last night nut calls were still being directed to sprint voicemail. I tried again this morning and it seems to have worked.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
So, nevermind. It's actually not working. When I call from an outside line it takes me to Sprint VM not GV. In the past every phone I've used has an option in phone settings to use carrier VM or GV. The SGS3 does not have this option so it seems I'm stuck using Sprint VM until CM9 is made available for this device.

When you installed GV, did you dial the long *number to provision it for your sprint number?

Hey guys tried seething this up and having the same issue. I dial the full *28xxxxxxxxx and it still goes to sprint not GV.
I'm only using GV for voicemail not to make calls.
Any other suggestions ? I went through the faqs too and no luck.
No one?

Sorry, got a little busy this afternoon. Anyhow, if you log into your Google voice account from your computer, you will have an option to set up gv from there instead of the handset. You'll be asked if you'd like to use your gv number or carrier provided number for your gv account. Once you go through those steps, set up gv on your phone and it should work. If it still doesn't work let me know and I can log into my account from my computer and tell you the exact process in a step by step fashion.

Is anyone else having trouble using Google Voice as their voicemail provider? I don't care about the rest of the features of it, I have just always used Voice for VM, but each time I attempt to set it up, I get "Could not retrieve and save current forwarding number settings" error. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling/taking myself through the wizard again, but I get the same thing every time. I do not like AT&T Messages even though it has the same basic features, as it tries to take over my entire phone (like AT&T likes to do).
Yeah, the Google Voice app failed to register it as the new voice mail provider for me too. Try to activate it in the dialer instead. Dial *004*1(then your 10 digit number) and last press # then enter (call). That should do it.

Awesome. Thanks, guys. It still does not go to Google Voice when I press and hold the voicemail button. Is that because it's still set up as "my carrier" in settings? I called myself and it worked to go to GV instead, so I'm happy about that. Still can't get the settings to change. Think it's possible to do or just be happy it's working as is?

Google Voice cant pull my att data and all that it just wont allow me to use voice as a voice mail option, so im reflashing, and stuck with my horrible issue of rooting :/ lol got it last time, just got to keep working at it this time
Ah, I never use it for voicemail anyway so I might not be much help.

Test the voicemail even if it says it failed. Mine never says it succeeds, but it works. I use Google Voice exclusively for calls.

Could not retrieve and save current forwarding number settings. Switch to new provider anyway?
Yes-
Call Settings updating.
Call Settings Error
Forwarding number change unsuccessful. Please contact your carrier if this problem persists.
so should i go to ATT and see what they say or is there a fix i can do for this?
Try going into Google Voice on your computer and checking out the settings. There is a code you can use to deactivate and reactivate the voicemail feature.
When it fails to set forwarding number, is this in the automatic setup or were you manually forwarding in your settings?
Sent from my LT28at using xda premium
I had same trouble with voicemail. I called to att to deactivate carrier voicemail. They sad it's already expired??? I know I have att voicemail and it's active. So no help from support. I changed manually forwarding numbers to gvoice number. And voicemail number to gvoice. And everything working for me now.

you may have to just set up manual call forwarding to set up google voicemail.
*004*your number#
example; *004*1 212 660 2245# (no spaces)

This seemed to have fixed my problem for now, i dont get very many calls so ill have to keep calling myself to test it.
Thanks guys!
I've used Google voice for years, but last week I accidentally set up the AT&T voicemail password and since then I can't get Google voice to take over again.
Would I need to contact AT&T about disabling their voicemail service?

Thanks a bunch! I had the same problem and this fixed it right up.
Alternatively (although not as easy), you can go into the Call settings, Additional settings, and then the Call forwarding settings and set up the Google Voice number there.
