So it does the same thing as vvm but free? Like I can see that I have voicemail and click it and listen?

Hey, knipp. How do you set it up?
Sent from my Droid Incredible 2 HD
You download the google voice app and then go thru the setup and choose that you aren't using it for anything else except voicemail. Then you need to get on your PC (this is the easiest solution), and go to http://voice.google.com. On the top right corner of your screen, there should be a cogwheel. Click it then click Voice Settings. It should bring you to a setup screen and there should be a blue link that says Activate Voicemail. Click on that link and it should tell you what you need to dial in order to do conditional call-forwarding so that only your missed calls and ignored calls, all of which normally go to your normal voicemail, will go to your google voice voicemail.
As an additional tip, once you have this set up, still in the settings, click the Voicemail link next to Phones, and uncheck the box next to where it says "Email the message to:<insert gmail here>" or else you'll have a ****load of notifications.
Nevermind. I figured out I don't like the hassle involved. I tried all that, and it screwed up my texting through gv

Lol, yeah, I don't even use VVM or anything, not enough people call me for me to deal with it. I would rather just listen to the 1 voicemail I get a month lol

I'm really enjoying GV right now. I have an issue w/ reception here at my house since apparently incredible 2 phones are so horrible at reception, i've decided to get a custom number and I'm always on wifi here at my house, so that might fix the issue I'm having here.

Weird, it takes my app like a good 20 secs sometimes to load up, but my messages almost come in instantaneously. I did a force close and cache wipe and it seemed to help a little, but I'm not wanting to have to do that every time, yet on the other hand, my voicemails show up a while later and take even longer to transcribe.

You can set it up in the webpage to send the voicemails to your email.
Try uninstalling the app and reinstalling it.

I'll try sending my VMs to email. Hopefully that will speed it up some, but like I stated earlier, I get so few calls because everyone I talk to texts, that when I do get a VM, it's usually 1 a month or so, so I'm not too anxious for it, but I would like to have it working 100% lol.
Knipp, I want to send text via gv. Since I don't have unlimited texting, there are certain people I text with gv. So, it was forwarding my texts to my phone if I didn't read them after a few seconds.

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.

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.

I know most people here are feeling horrified someone would put a skin on their GN but I really really really miss having large icons on my home screen that display how many text, voicemail and email messages I have and being able to click on them and I'm in the program I need to be to actually review the messages. Or perhaps there is a program like Beautiful Widgets that can give me that feature back?
I'm not sure if it is related or not but I miss the visual voicemail on my ET4G.

Have you set up Google voice before installing the app? Its a service and you use the app on the phone to access it.

OK, so I'm rooted on AKOP, but this happened when I was still on stock.
I get texts that there is visual voicemail activity, then I have to go to the app and manually sync the voicemail to get it to appear and download.
Then when I delete the voicemail, I get another annoying text that says there has been "visual voicemail" activity.
Any provisioning ideas or fixes? Sorry if this has been asked already. I'm on my GN and did a search w/ no luck. My "My Verizon" also doesn't work if that's helpful. Thanks in advance!

Well this is probably not an answer to your problem, but save the 2.99 a month you pay for visual voice mail and switch to Google Voice.
This happened to me when I first rooted my TBolt and it was annoying, until I activated GVoice on my phone. Have not looked back since.

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.

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.

I can only find the pay visual voicemail app. Sprint had an app where the voicemail would be sent to your phone and you could listen to the sound file without calling your voicemail. Does AT&T not have anything like that?
Before anyone says it, I don't want to use Google Voice since I want that to be a separate phone number.

Doh!!!!
I have used this AT&T Visual Voicemail App since the Original Note.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.att.mobile.android.vvm
Before opening it for the first time you need to call Customer Service and have them completely reset your voicemail.
Once they reset your voicemail open your AT&T VVM App and go through the steps.
It works for me every time.
Good luck
Sorry guys. When I said free, I meant completely free. No app cost, no monthly cost (don't want to pay for visual voicemail).
To those that suggested Google Voice, did you even read my original post? I want to keep my Google number separate from my regular number. Am I missing something here as to why people suggested it despite my OP?
Anyway like I was saying, Sprint provided a free voicemail app that would allow you to listen to your voicemails without calling it up. It would send the voicemail to the app whenever you got one.
