You could try having them text a google voice number, still shows up on your phone.

Hey y'all so I really recommend checking out youmail, it's a voicemail client for your phone. And once you've checked it out, tell me if you're having the same problem i am. When I go to start > settings > phone > call options: and then try to change the voicemail default number (the number that my phone calls when I press and hold "1") I keep getting an error message saying that the settings could not be saved. However, on tmobile's end, they see the change, but still my phone just calls the regular voicemail number when I press and hold "1"... thoughts? Is there a registry hack somewhere just to make my phone call the correct number when I hold 1?
Thanks!

I wonder if you have to have your device "unlocked". I have changed my voicemail number to my main answering services vm and it works fine.
hmm
Well, I'm fairly certain that my phone is unlocked because I've modded it ALOT. Unless you mean SIM unlocked, in which case I don't think that it is.

I just signed up for YouMail a couple of days ago. Lovin' it. What I did was change my Speed Dial #5 to the YouMail voicemail number. My Speed Dial #1 is still for T-Mobile voicemail. After doing this, my calls get routed to my new YouMail number and not the T-Mo number anymore. It works pretty well for me. When I check the voicemails on the old T-Mo number, it only plays the old messages left before switching to YouMail.
Try using another Speed Dial number besides the #1. I think that one isn't changeable.
what does youmail offer that tmo voice mail doesnt?

YouMail allows you to set custom voicemails for multiple callers. It also allows you to use "Ditch Mail" for telemarketers, blocked callers, and unknown callers. Ditch Mail gives the caller a generic message stating that you aren't receiving calls from blocked or unknown callers and to try again from an unblocked number. Then (here's the clincher) it hangs up. You can also view and listen to voicemails via email. It's great.
Ive had it for a week, and love it! My friends get the silly VM messages... all else get the SMART VM where it states the name of the caller and says Im not available...
great stuff
not a bad solution but...
while changing my shortcut number five to the youmail number will be a nice shortcut to it, does that mean that if i use youmail, i'll neve get a "new voicemail" notification again? it's gonna use up a lot of texts if every vmail i get has to be announced via text message.
you can set it to only send you emails... I have a 300 txt msg plan... and didnt want to eat them up with youmail messages. SO, I set it accordingly.
hmm..
I totally understand that it is possible to do that, and if it comes down to it, I'm fine with that, however, I'd love it if youmail was more fully integrated with my phone. Ergo, if I could change the number for the voicemail system (which youmail says that you can) and receive vmail notifications, it'd be perfect. Does no one in this quite impressive community know where the registry edit would be to change that number? Thanks for all the help!
patiently awaits a response to the previous question.
Youmail offers the chance to have custom voicemail messages to specific callers...one for your love, one for your mom, one for your boss, etc... it will also transcribe voicemail messages and either txt them or email them to you! lots of other finer points... but thats a good overview

Is your service prepaid? If so, prepaid T-Mobile voicemail #s cannot be changed.
contracted
Nope,
I have a monthly plan, and even when I called the guys at tmo about this issue, they said that they can see my trying to change the number, and that it should be changing on my phone. I just need to find out where in the registry that phone finds that vmail number, and to change it. Thoughts?
Wow lol
I can't believe noone responded to you, bro. It's pretty easy. Do the following:
1) Settings
2) Phone
3) Call options
In there you will see Voice mail number, change it to youmail's #.
On the other hand, this service looks pretty promising. Thanks to you guys, I now know about it. I really hope it works in Canada too.
Will try right now
EDIT: Great, It doesn't work in Canada That sucks...Oh Well...One day I guess.
where?
sounds very impressive could someone provide a download link to this app?
The multiple voicemail responses and the voice to text of Youmail sound interesting and I will check it out after this post. Youmail looks better, just wish it had mobile call screening.
I use Callwave free version because it has mobile call screening which allows me to actually listen to the person leave a message in realtime and answer it or ignore it with one button.

never mind ive googled it thanks (GOD BLESS GOOGLE!)
I've been messing around with my GV number and i've been looking for a way to make it so that all unanswered calls on my phone go to the GV voicemail.
I've tired using unconditional forwarding.. like i believe its *61*GVnumber# i could be wrong though..
Has anyone else got this to work?
I think it will work as long as you do not have your mobile number set up as part of the GV ring list. You will end up with a loop.
Can anyone ever get the call forwarding options in the settings to save?
I've never got it to say anything but an error.
Just change your t-mobile voicemail number to your google voice number on your Dash
after looking in to it i noticed something i overlooked. If you on a flexpay account like i am then tmobile has forwarding disabled. i guess if i want that feature to work ill have to get a contract, unless i wait till project dark is announced

Actually i did try this and it worked... until i noticed that the no reply option in call forwarding is set to a custom number that's very close to my orginal voice mail number..
Hey guys, I was reading this article earlier about Google Voice...it made me wish I had it. Check it out:
http://lifehacker.com/5382770/make-unlimited-free-calls-on-your-cellphone-with-google-voice?skyline=true&s=i
I also read that they're now letting members invite people.
This might be a [email protected] question but, if you like the article what are the chances one of you might invite me? Hahaha, sorry if it is but I just had to ask!
I have a google voice account. It doesn't seem that the invite feature is available (to me atleast). Realize that unlike with G-Mail, inviting is tougher with Google Voice because Google could always pay forward and expand their ever-so-gigantic server space, but there are a limited number of available phone numbers. Due to that exact fact, I feel like Google Voice may NEVER become fully accessible to everyone unless we adopt an 11 Digit or more phone number. That is just my opinion, as horrible as it may see, although I really do HOPE that everyone gets to use Google Voice. So far from my experience it is awesome!
Thanks for the info Cyclone. You're right, it probably won't be available for everyone. But according to the Google Voice Blog referenced below you and every other account holder will get three invites...eventually. Just to begin with.

Thanks again

On your blog, you mention that following GV's instructions (for T-Mobile Dash) will make your GV number the number called when you press and hold "1", i.e. your GV number becomes your VM number. I did *not* find that to be the case. Does anyone else have the same experience?

You are getting it wrong. That link works, I can attest to that because I did it myself. When you call VoiceMail on your phone (by holding 1) it is preset to call the TMOBILE voicemail, which will have nothing in it. What the set-up does is change the configuration to forward missed calls etc. to the google number. If you want to access that Voicemail, you have to set the Keypress (or whatever) to call your google voice number.
does anyone know if this can work with a Flex-Pay Account with Tmobile?....I find there's an error when imputting the code to change voicemail settings setup.

As I stated in my blog "if you change your service providers voicemail number in your device settings to your Google Voice number it will automatically call your Google Voice number when you press and hold the 1 key (T-mobile)."
This means after you have set everything else up (by entering the code given to you by Google in Google Voice) YOU have to manually change the voicemail number in your Devices settings to your google voice number, in the Dash 3G it is under call options.
Hey,
I need an app to send SMSs messages to the US. I was considering Nimbuzz but it seems to slow my phone down and does even update my contact list (I think it also stays connected rather than idles the connection).
Any suggestions?
If you can score a Google Voice number you can use that to send free texts to US numbers from the UK. I send free texts to my family in the US using that.
Sounds ood how does that work? How can they contact me back though?
OK, first you'll need an invite, check if any of your US based contacts use it. Then you'll need a temporary US based phone number or at least someone who is willing to receive a call on your behalf. Google will give you a number and that will be your US phone number. People can send you text messages or phone it and leave voicemail. You can send people texts from that number and it's free.
I got myself a Skype in number to verify my Google account. When that runs out I'll still have my Google Voice number. If you were in the US it's a lot more useful, i.e. it can replace your voicemail service and using the Google Voice app you get visual voicemail.
yyou can also send sms to the us through gmail if you know the provider for exampla
+1555 7930
becomes [email protected] for verizon
you'd have tsearch the internets to get the exact workings but ive done it loads and the can reply and it comes to your gmail inbox,
but wait theres more
its free
Serious? You can email a mobile number and they get it as a text ... is there a limit to this?
da da!
T-Mobile: [email protected]
Virgin Mobile: [email protected]
Cingular: [email protected]
Sprint: [email protected]
Verizon: [email protected]
Nextel: [email protected]
hope that helps. you just put their phone number in and they can reply to you as if it were a text but you get it to your email inbox. so what i do is save their phone plus @provider to their contact as an email address and then its a simple case of typing their name and selecting which email address to use
there is also a labs feature in gmail that lets you end text messages through gtalk on the desktop version.
let us know how you get on.
THANKS!
Sorry could you explain more what the labs feature does? I have noticed it but not done much. I don't understand though with functionality like this why bother using anything else to communicate? There must be a disadvantage ...
I just tried it with an AT&T user ... IT WORKS!
They can even see the subject line :O.
Only issue is because GMail includes the last think from your email when you reply the person is getting very long messages ... also what happens if I add an attachment?
i dont use the labs feature any more but as i understand it its a simple text messaging service to US mobiles.
if you are going to be doing this a lot then you should sign up for google voice.
dont know about attachemtns, wouldnt have thought that they would work though
No word back on attachment so manybe they don't get them as MMSs.
What would be the drive for Google Voice? Thanks for your help, saved me loads on Skype credit.
google voice would give you an app on your desire that let you text back and forth for free with any US mobile, no need to know the operator just the number.
http://www.google.com/googlevoice/about.html
Sounds good!
It's ironic that UK networks don't do this text to email stuff ...
Anyone got an invite to Google Voice?
ok dude, i do have a spare invite. pm me your email address and dont tell everyone
Sorry to bring this thread back but rather than start a new one I need some sort of proxy or cloak plugin for FF as Google wouldn't let UK people in (tried many webproxies but they fail), also where can I get a free US number?
I did a search and could not find anything.
Just a quick question.
My bro has a S3 from Rojerks. He got rid of the Caller ID option from his plan because they charge to much for it. So now when anyone calls it shows UNKNOWN.
So we are wondering, is there some sort of hack or program (root?) that will show the name and number from his Contact list when someone calls?
I ask because whenever someone texts him the name and number show, so how can it show there and not when someone calls?
Is there a way to get the name and number to show just from his contact list only w/o the service from Rojerks?
Short and simple answer is no.
If you don't have caller id rogers masks the incoming callers making all callers display as unknown using computer sofware.
When your receiving a text message, the message by default requires a sender and receiver address or it cannot be sent/received. Otherwise you'd be getting texts from unknowns numbers with no way of replying.
BTW, if suggest try talking to the rogers retensions department (call 611 and go Thur the menus until you get to the cancel your services) the agents may offer you a better deals then other agents or going in person at any rogers dealer locations. Try googling "rogers retenison plans" and you'll find alot more information about what I'm talking about.
Personally I pay $45 a month after tax for unlimited everything (Canada wide LD, texting and what not) + 5GB of data.
Anyways I hope I answered your questions.
Cheers

Hi all, I've been asking around on AC forums and haven't got an answer yet, but going to see if tomorrow I can get to an ATT store for tech help. No help on the phone at all, just 3 different Tech reps going over the same thing again and again, with no result. Tried third party apps Google Voice and Youmail, can't even get the access codes to go through. The phone seems to be having errors, because it's looking for the Verizon Voicemail and even though I was able to set speed dial #2 for dialing ATT's Voicemail service, all I get is Missed Call notifications. Not every missed call leaves a voicemail, so would like some sort of Notification to alert me to my voicemails. Need this feature a lot. When I dial the access codes or even try changing to the ATT voicemail their Way with Holding down "1" , all i get is Call can't be completed and an error code. Also a message at the top of keypad screen saying No Sim, Sim Error. To me it seems like it's trying to dial the Verizon number, and it can't because of being on ATT. Has anyone had this problem?
Does anybody know a workaround. I was able to get google voice forwarded to my cell phone number, but doesn't still give a notification. I do get emails sent, even though send a text is clicked on Google Voicemail. Also spent time with their tech support with no help there. Notifications is Set and I have an alert for it on the Phone's Voicemail setting, so that's not working either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
You can set att voicemail to speed dial 1. I don't know the number. I just downloaded att visual voicemail app and got it to work. In order to set voicemail you need to go to settings>aplications>call>voicemail settings. Then input the number you're trying to use. It will save it as speed dial #1
