Hey guys, for some reason when I have a voicemail, I am getting a text message saying so instead of being able to access them via the visual voicemail app. Does anyone know how to fix his?

Sounds like Sprint might have something needed up on their end. You could use Google voice in the mean time, I prefer that to Sprints because u don't pay extra for it to be transcribed.

Were you using Google Voice for your voicemail on your last phone? I had done that once and needed to actually disable it on the website for my Sprint VVM to work properly.

Except that Google's transcription always looks like "Hi, hello, who is this, let's have chicken, 7, cake!, I like marbles and cheese sauce. Bye"
This seems to be a common problem with people who mess around with 3rd party voicemail.

If you are using handcent, make sure you do NOT check the option to make it your default sms client.
I had the same problem using go sms pro. I had to check disable other messages.

Did you send the activate request via voicemail to sprint after you changed that setting?

Yup. I cleared data in vvm and started from scratch. I may have misread the post I responded to. I took it as he disabled all other msg notifications. He meant he unchecked that option?

You can disable notifications in the stock SMS browser, but don't let the 3rd party app disable anything. They disable the entire stock SMS system, so when you get the signal from Sprint that you have a voicemail (which is in reality an SMS notification), the 3rd party app thinks its a normal text.

Have you been reading my Google Voicemails? They are so bad that I can't even be mad at it. It just makes me laugh. They are just good enough to get the point of the message.

This is such a huge joke ... I spent 2 hours trouble shooting this issue with Sprint and they had NO IDEA that this was the case. Finally, while on hold with 2nd tier Tech Support, I uninstalled GoSMS Pro and then called my voicemail. Viola! It worked. The tech was astounded and submitted it to their bug reporting system as a GoSMS conflict.
I then installed Handcent and everything was fine for a few days until the same problem reappeared. I unchecked the option for Handcent to disable the stock Message app and then went into the stock app and unchecked the box for it to notify me upon receipt of text messages. Everything is working fine.
Now I know it's an issue with all 3rd party SMS apps and wonder if Sprint has a new troubleshooting memo that blames GoSMS for the problem...
HTH,

Thanks for all the responses guys. I finally gave up and just installed Google Voice on my phone and after setting it up, I am getting my voicemail notifications via GV without a problem and still have GoSMS installed.
Can I safely delete the Sprint VVM app without any side effects?

I tried this. I did not receive provision successful voicemail text, just bunch of gibberish text from Sprint that you get with CM6.
Notification is not fixed. Cyannogen stated that there will be a hack in the upcoming nightly to clear the message.
I have yet to get this issue, probably because day one that I got my phone, I switched my default voicemail to Google Voice, and have unanswered calls to my Sprint number forward to GVoice as well.
Screw Sprint's crapware and 1990's voicemail systems, Google Voice all the way!
I did a full data/cache wipe on the last nightly and it is gone. But I am scared to do a reset or toggle flight mode.
I flashed the latest Nightly (7/27) and the I was able to clear the voicemail icon.

So earlier in the week I flipped a setting in my handcent messenger app to handle mms and sms messages. I also created a user account so I could send people larger files via text with a url link.
Not sure if that had anything to do.with what has since been happening, but now I no longer receive voicemails through my default voicemail app, but now I get a text message with this 650-603-0000 phone number in it to retrieve my messages. As if that doesn't suck enough, the [email protected] number doesn't even work so I.have to dial 611 to get my vm.
Can anyone help??????? Please??? I.have been through the system settings a million times over, reviewed everything in handcent before finally changing back to stock presets with no luck and then uninstalling the handcent app with no luck. I really dont want to have to wipe and rebuild, but I'm at a dead end and this is killing me.
If you can help, I would be very appreciate. Thanks....

Yes actually I figured it out. The epic, and I'm told sprint, do not support MIUI which was enabled by handcent when I flipped a setting. Unfortunately turning it back off and uninstalling handcent did nothing.
What you have to do is download the sprint voicemail apk and overwrite the existing app. This fixes it.
I must have tried a couple hundred possible solutions with no luck before I finally tried this. Good luck

i am still having the same problem with my evo, spoke with support at sprint and they said there was an issue with the latest update. No fix yet
Here is the fix
Ok i had the same problem and went round and round. My visual voicemail was not downloading messages in addition to the text. Option 1 took care of it for me.
Re-activate your Visual Voicemail account. This will force the Voicemail client to send an activation message to the Server again. Once re-activated, all pending messages should be able to download again.
Option(1):
- Go to - Settings/Applications/Manage Applications (be sure you are looking at "all")/Voicemail/Clear data
- This will wipe out your old Inbox messages but your filesystem will come clean
Option(2):
Use Visual Voicemail Compose screen and send it to the following address: [email protected] (you must have a couple of seconds recorded)
I am having this same issue. Did you guys find a fix ?
Thanks. I was looking for the solution to resolve the same issue on my EVO 3D for few months. Finally found the answer here. Option 1 worked for me.
Thank you very much....

This works but as of 6/20/2012 you not only have to clear the data, but also you have to uninstall the update. Then make a test voicemail, it should go through, after that update the app to the newest software and you are back up and running!

HI all!
I searched, found lots of threads about how to turn SMS NOTIFICATION off ... but .. I want to turn SMS off completely on my galaxy nexus ...
I am on Verizon, but, I'm guessing some folks would like to turn it off on the gms prepaid plans too ...
Basically, I want to go google voice, ALL IN!! Have everyone call me on my gvoice number, use my gvoice voicemail, give up MMS and use email for pics, and google voice for all normal sms txt.
I want to completely ditch my verizon txt plan, BUT, I don't want to have to pay for folks that sms txt directly to my cell phone number.
Is there a way to "shut off" sms to my cell number on my galaxy nexus?
Thanks!
Call Verizon and ask them to shut it off, I'm sure they are able to that way.

I don't you can have no text plans with Verizon, but there is a choice to pay only per text message with no monthly cost.
By default, Google Voice will still route the text messages to your phone, unless you turn that off, and choose to forward them to email.

I can grooveip then google voice txt over data, so think I'm all set, that set up lets me send unlimited sms that don't register with the cell company as sms.
I, and it seems other folks would too, need a way to NOT pay for spam / unwanted sms txt to our cell phone numbers.
Anyone else got any thoughts? Sounds like this isn't a Galaxy Nexus question then, I thought my phone could turn this off. Is there another more general forum I should be asking in?
Thanks!
The answer was already said, try reading please.

Stop texts from breaking up, How?
Every time I get a long text message it's broken up into multiple messages, it's annoying because sometimes they dont all come in at the same time, or they do and i think i have a **** ton of msgs lol. It's the same on the stock messaging app and google's messaging app. Is there a setting somewhere that I've missed? It's happened with incoming msgs from iphones and android phones on different carriers.

There is little you can do, it is the carrier of the sender that is doing it. Many carriers limit the number of characters you can have per text. So if they go over it gets broken into multiple text messages. It is not an issue on your end.
I also hate this.. When I had att I didn't have this problem..
Wasn't there an option to send messages bigger then a # of characters through MMS instead of using normal split SMS?

Yes I think there is. This is for sending messages though. When receiving a message it depends on how the senders app sends it.

Just a guess, but I'd say it's likely due to being Google's app and having tighter integration with the framework than carrier based bloat.

Just tried this sending myself a very long text via Wi-Fi on Sprint messaging app; it does work to combine the messages without converting to MMS.
Like others have said variables may limit results. My wife is also on my Sprint account using an iPhone 5 and her messages to me split from what I can see; don't know if hers from me split or not. Cross platform texting hasn't been reliable.

Initially failed to Motorola Photon Q. Had found the setting and enabled it and rebooted the phone; split the long message into 4 out-of-order texts. Did the System settings/System update/Update Profile on both phones and it works both ways. Sent the same text to to the iPhone 5 and it split. I've asked my wife to update her profile but she's busy; will try again later.
On my phone, had to defrost Samsung DM Service and reinstall Sprint Zone and let it update and opt out of EUL anonymous data sharing, agree to terms before I could update the profile.
BTW, combining the long text and sending a short text after that may have the shorter message arriving first. I actually sent an inquiry after getting notification that the long text test message had been forwarded back to me. The notice and inquiry went through before I got the combined message sent first.
I don't know if it happened to me or not.. never pay attention to it....gotta test later to see if if it's the same problem
How long is long. . I tested by sending to myself. But don't know if it is long enough.
My test text message consists of 80 words which was splitting into 4 text messages. Seems to be working between two different Android phones but still unknown if profile update will get it working cross-platform to/from iPhone. The Sprint iPhone 5 on the account seems to frequently have inability to sync texts with Android over Wi-Fi. Sometimes, it's just texting in general that the iPhone 5 loses.
For testing, just kept using the same message forwarded until it was received by both phones without the split.
May be wrong but sending it to yourself may only be an indication your phone can combine. It takes the profile update to tell Sprint you wish to use the combining method which appears to be an exception to every phone. Being on Gingerbread and CM for a long time, this is the first time I've seen the combining feature. About time! Hope it continues to work without frequent profile updates then broke again/update again.
This doesn't make sense. .i sent to my wife iPhone.. she received one full message but when she sent to me using the same text message it broke up to 4...wth

Did you perform the profile update on both phones? Does the Sprint iPhone have the combine text option for texts?
I haven't tried the profile update and retest with the iPhone 5 yet. Haven't seen the the settings menu on the iPhone 5, either. I think that phone is still on iOS7; afraid the update would result in early upgrade.
Not on the iPhone just the note 4
Open the stock messaging app and go to text message settings and make sure auto combination is checked.
