I only want google voice to get my voicemail messages, not sms!

Google voice limited?

I downloaded voice from the marketplace but the only options I have are voice mail and that's it. I cam make calls or sms. Is there a way around this or am I stuck with only voice mail? Is anyone else having this problem?

Do you have a registered google voice account with a working GV phone number given to you by google? You need a full account for full functionality. Simply downloading the app is not enough.

Google Voice problems

Am I alone on this? Since yesterday I was receiving all my text to the messaging app instead of google voice, I checked the setting I still was on GV all texts and just now a message from GV pop up saying how to make the calls, and the only option given was Do not make calls from GV. Now I tried to send a text from GV and it doesn't give me the bottom rectangle to type.
Anyone?

i use gv to text all day long at work, and haven't had any issues with it lately. so it's gotta be a setting on your account that's causing issues. have you logged into the website and checked your settings there? sometimes the app doesn't always make the changes.
Thanks for the reply, I had to basically install it again and its working just fine now.

Galaxy nexus voicemail app?

Hey guys I have been missing calls lately and my phone doesn't give me any notification I have a voicemail. Since it doesn't tell me I have a missed call can someone point me to an app that would notify me with new voicemails. Thanks

Try going into the voicemail settings. See if there's anything there to help you
Try YouMail service. It's free and will give you iPhone's Visual Voicemail like interface. I love it.
Shell out a few bucks and get the BetterYouMail app from Play Store after registering and setting up with the official Youmail app. Just like the name suggests, Better You Mail is "Better" than the actual Youmail app.
HTH,

google voice is visual voicemail ,its free and even emails you a text transcript of the voicemail message (great for seeing it in office where you cant listen to it)

Anyway to make Google search/now use WhatsApp to message

Is there anyway to make Google search/now Send a WhatsApp message instead of a text message by using your voice for example when I say 'send message to David message how are you' can that be routed to WhatsApp instead of sms?
WhatsApp has replaced 90% of my messaging. So this would be more convenient.

Voicemail to Text

Im rooted, running Tx...'s Hybrid Stock. I ean to know if there is a FREE way /app to get my voicemail to text. I hate to pay $3 a month for that feature to work in Sprint's Visual Voicemail. Any ideas?

I think Google voice transcribes for free.

This is what I use. You need to set call conditional forwarding to your Google voice number if you don't want to use the sprint integration and the voicemail will come through either Google voice app or hangouts however you set it up

Let me ask just a few more questions before I begin the configuration. I don't have a GoogleVoice set up so when I went to set it up, I needed a number. Do I get a new number or use my Sprint number (see here for using Sprint number: https://support.google.com/voice/answer/1207070).
It's up to you, I have a 530 California number associated with my Google voice account because they don't have Hawaii numbers. I left my 530 number as my Google voice number and so when I call out via hangouts it will show as the 530 number on people's caller ID. Calls to use us over hangouts are free still so if you plan doesn't have unlimited min this might be a good option for you. If you do the sprint integration, you'll only have one number
