I removed gv and removed my sprint number from it
I had a VM come in and instead I got a text saying I got a VM and the app shows nothing. I sent myself a VM from the app but it never arrives
sent from my Galaxy S 2 from Sprint on unnamed 2.0.1
I had a similar issue ... didn't have GV installed or hooked up, but my Visual Voicemail wasn't working. I came across a post( you can search if you want to find it ) but it basically said to do the following, which worked for me. The issue was that GO SMS( or anyother 3rd party sms app, maybe even Google Voice ) was messing with the voicemail recieving the messages.
1.) Uninstall Go SMS, or whatever app you have.
2.) Go to applications, manage applications, and find the voicemail app, now force close it and clear data.
3.) Go to the about phone, and system update, and then update profile.
4.) Now relaunch the voicemail app
5.) Reinstall Go SMS( I never did that, just left it uninstalled for now )
After step 4 I started getting voicemails in my visual voicemail app again. I'd say try those steps, or whichever ones pertain to you, and see if it works after.

After flipping between ROMS, I find my VVM is no longer working, nothing goes to my VVM. Even when I get voicemails, they do not show up in that app.
I did do something once when using CM6, I got a text message from that 9016 and called the number it said to retrieve it. Ever since my VVM has not been working. I am currently running Baked. Any suggestions?
I have the same problem on the Baked 1.5 rom. It tells me that I have a voicemail, but is unable to retrieve.
If it were me, I'd flash a stock rooted rom. See if voicemail works with that. If it doesn't, call customer service and tell them you are having problems with visual voice mail retrieval and if they would be so kind as to give your voice mail a full reset on their side.

Here's a few I googled and some possible fixes.
Oh, this is for the text from 9016 snafu. I don't know if it will help you.
Make sure under Call / Voicemail Settings that it displays your phone number. Otherwise I would wipe and reflash.

Lol. You will keep getting that txt. I'm not going to flame you but if you would of searched the forum you would of seen my post on vvm from yesterday or used the search feature I'm sure it would of popped up with vvm.
Anyways use the app private conversation from the market. Has a blacklist. Can do just SMS, phone call, and both SMS and phone call from a number. This is what I used.
Now go to settings and call setting, voicemail and make sure your phone number is in there if not change it. Mine was *86 so I had to change the number to mine. There ya go. Please do a little effort on searching. I use the xda app and the search always brings up roms and themes most of the time instead of what I'm looking for but I still try first and go to the forums and go through a big list.
Hope this helps.

You the man! This was the problem (for me at least). It had the option of using "carrier" or "google voice" for voicemail and neither one was checked. I'm assuming that's because the data wipe and installation of a new rom. I checked carrier and tested it out. It's now good to go.
Thanks!
Got it working =]
@martyzidek: I did search first, but I was probably overly specific and got no results from my search =[
@herbthehammer: I did just that, installed a plain rooted 2.2, and for good measure I then ran a Master Reset (##786#) since I already knew my code from trying to update the PRI. I double checked that my voicemail # was showing up correctly (thanks @dglowe343), then had my girlfriend call and leave a message. I then received 6 voicemails all at once: the one that my girlfriend just left and the 5 others that didn't show up. =]
I have been a long time user of the sprint voicemail app. I have decided to go ahead and stick with Google Voice after trying it out. I went thru the procedure and have it integrated with my sprint phone now. My question is can I go ahead and uninstall/remove the sprint voicemail app or is it still needed?
It is not needed. Assuming you are rooted I would back it up using titanium backup just in case you want it back in the future before you remove it. Or you could just freeze it
Thanks for the info. I removed the stock app. I have one other question now. Since I integrated google voice with sprint, all of my text messages are going to google voice now. How can I stop that so that I can use handcent again?
I've always used GV as well, and I've always uninstalled Sprint's Voicemail app with no problems. I tried doing that Sprint/Google Voice integration, but like you said all your messages come through to GV and I was unable to switch this back. I even emailed their support and never heard back...I've switched back to the non-integrated installation and haven't had any problems.
Try going to settings, then manage applications and find Google voice. Once you find it try hitting "clear defaults". Now go to your people app or contacts and select a random contact and find the option to send a text. There should be a pop up that ask you which application you want to text through and choose always use the stock sms app.

After doing some searching I have found that once you integrate sprint to google voice you cannot use any other app for the text messaging regardless of what you select as your default.

Glad I didn't integrate mine yet! I love the idea of having 2 separate numbers linked to the same phone that share the same voicemail lol. I pass out my gv number alot because I don't want certain people to have my regular number. #winning

I tried searching that thread but I only find posts referring to the blue theming of the vvm app, none that talk about getting it to work. and I assume since he went to the trouble to theme it that it must work for him, and since there is a lack of posts about it not working it must work for almost everybody...
but I cant get it to work. I went through the update profile and PRL, and it just doesnt work for me, I always get those texts from 9016 saying to call in this weird number to listen to my voicemail. it still works if I just dial my own number and listen so I dont know why it tells me to call that odd number.
anyone have any ideas? Ive been keeping with the updates recently and would like to continue to stick with that rom but I really want my vvm back...
Are you using a 3rd party messaging app like gosms or handcent?
If so that is what may be causing your issues.
Copied from
Make sure that no 3rd Party Apps are affecting Visual Voicemail.**Two applications in particular,*Go SMS and Handcent*have been causing issues with Sprint Visual Voicemail.*·*********
If you have*Go SMS*you will need to disable the "disable other text notifications"*·*********If you have*Handcent, you will need to go into Handcent, press menu, settings, application settings, default messaging applications and then check "disable".**Now…..*
1.*******Go to dial pad and hit *38 Talk to cancel any call forwarding.*
2.*******Power off the device and remove and replace the battery and power back on.
3.*******Update profile by hitting Menu – Settings – System Updates – Update profile**(try to leave yourself a VM)
4.*******Go into the visual voicemail application and compose a visual voicemail message (Hit Menu*àCompose) of 5+ seconds and send [email protected].
Test to see if visual voicemail is working again,*
thanks, Ill give it a shot in a minute, phones booting up from the latest 1/15 update.
I just completely got rid of gosms and tried it and they are back, thanks.
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?

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
I am having a problem configuring Voice for my voice mail when I hit to configure the screen goes black for 5 seconds and then pops up "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped"
I have reinstalled and cleared data a few times and have rebooted the phone in between tries.
I'm running rooted stock
Is there anyone else having this or know whats going on
Ya, I don't think it works on ics...happens to me too
If you're looking for visual voicemail I hear the att visual voicemail app works but I couldn't get that running either
I had to set it up on the Google voice website. Under settings phone there should be an option to setup Google voice for a phone number you have tied to your account.
Notifications don't seem to work for new voicemails but I just forward the new message email to a text message.

The OTA update from yesterday almost fixed it I can get through the whole process of setting up GV except it throws an error when it tries to change the forwarding numbers then goes back to the GV setup and lets you skip to the end. I get notifications but it still rings GV like normal instead of going straight to voicemail. It also still says My Carrier under Voicemail Service.
Figured out how to get Google voice working .
ya, tried the att messages app today.. horrible. it froze my contacts and kept shutting down some google app process.
for those who are curious.. google voice works on ICS. took me a moment to figure it out, and really liked having it on gingerbread. go to google voice website. hit settings and then "activate voicemail" it gives you a series of symbols and numbers to enter into your dialer and then it's activated.
BAM.
