Cannot change Voicemail Speed Dial number

Hye guys, I've searched everywhere looking for a way to actually change the speed dial number for voicemail.
Currently theres an entry as number 1 as Voicemail but there is no number attached to it. When I try and edit the number I'm not able to add an number, it has a drop down menu but it's blank and I cannot input a number into it.
I tried deleting the speed dial but then I'm unable to add a speed dial to number 1 as its reserved for voicemail...
I checked in Phone -> settings -> services and Voicemail and Text Messages has the right number for voicemail (121)
edit
using Black 2.0 with radio 1.38

thats because it hardcoded into the OS. the only thing you can do is set another speed dail number to your voicemails number and use that but 1 is always for voicemail sorry man

Nope not quite...
You can change it by going to settings-Phone-Services tab. It should be there with the Text MEssages Services Centre number.
I was able to edit mine when I tried YouMail. Not to mention how would these bad ass speedy cooked rom-a-lama-ding-dongs work?

sorry your right forgot about that.

Hmm
Well in phone -> settings -> services -> tect messages and voicemail the right numbers are there but the voicemail just seems to be missing from the phone
I'll give it a hard reset and see how it goes

If there is nothing registered in speed dial position 1 from before, isn't it just to push the square nr. 1 and enter it from there?
edit: that is the square no. 1 in speed dial menu

Visual Voicemail Problems

Hi all!
This is my 1st Evo post (maybe 1st post period) and Im having trouble with my visual voicemail. I am on the latest firmware, the phone is brand new (got it 2 days ago).
When I open the visual voicemail app, I press menu and click undelivered messages. Sitting in this folder is "[email protected]". Ive tried resending it, no luck. I cant delete it either. I get an error message stating "there is a delay in setting up your voicemail. Your message will be sent as soon as this step is complete." Also, when I hold the 1 key down, it doesnt take me to VM, it just rings and I get an error message. I have to dial my own number to get to my voice messages. What am I doing wrong?
Problem 1: No visual voicemail
Problem 2: Holding 1 key doesnt take me to VM
Thanks in advance for anyones help, it is surely appreciated!
Chris

I forgot to mention, I have full service strength and I can use the internet and get email over the 3g/4g connection.

I called customer service, and they told me to call back on a different line. Wish I had one........

It sounds like there is an issue regarding your profile. You could try updating your profile.
Settings - System Updates - Update Profile
Also update the PRL while you're there.
If that doesn't work and you don't have another phone to call Sprint with, then take it into a store and use their phones to call support, or maybe they can help you there.
Also a suggestion, don't post replies to your topic just edit your existing one. I almost skipped the post because I saw 3 replies, assuming the question was answered.

Will do, headed to a sprint store now.
Thanks for the forum ettiquite info too

here is how your fix this problem...
I just had this and nothing I did or looked up help. got off of the line with Sprint and apparently there is sometimes a "Ghost" number set up on your phone during initiation and if your ported # does not get embedded in the software properly, you are hosed.
here is how you fix it:
- from dialer, dial ##643750#
- a menu will pop up, hit edit mode
- there will be 2 options -- can't remember the names. the top one will be what should be your phone # and the bottom one is a general access # that is *not* your phone #
- on the top entry, click edit and replace the # with your own phone #
- click the menu button on the phone and initiate the change
After I did this, my many test voicemails arrived after about 10 seconds.
Hope this helps --- I was not a member of this forum but registered just to log this fix as it is very frustrating. I hope this saves someone some time and frustration!

1. Sign up for google voice,
2. setup conditional call forwarding on your voicemail
3. enjoy transcribed text and better recording quality

Go to settings in google voice then voice settings you should see your mobile number and a link to enable google voicemail on this phone.
Basically you're going to dial *28XXXXXXXXXX which is your phone number.

I had this exact problem when I ported my old number to my Evo. I went to a Sprint store and they called CS, and I watched the keystrokes the rep did so I'd know what he did. I think the code for this is different for everybody. I just realized today that when CS did this for me, the rep dialed ##xxxxxx# where xxxxxx was actually my MSL code (just looked it up today and it looked familiar, now I know why).
So enter your own MSL and you should get what you need.

[Q] Google Voice/ FDN/ PIN2 Question

I'm setting up Google Voice and saw that there is a fixed dial number (FDN) setting.
My questions are :
1) Will this option make it so GV's access number is the same on every call?
2) it asks for a PIN2 number. I tried 1234 and 0000 and neither worked. Tmo is stumped. I did not set a number. Does anyone know another possible default code?
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

FDN restricts outgoing calls to only the numbers on a pre determined list. See en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_Dialing_Number for more information.
This will not affect google voice, since when you make a google voice call it is an incoming, not an outgoing call from your phone. If I remember correctly, there is a setting on the google voice page to control how your calls appear on caller id (random number or GV number)
If you want to use FDN, the default PIN2 is 5678, keep in mind that t-mobile does not support the use of this feature, so if you lock yourself out they may not be able to help you.

Thanks for the reply. Is there anyway to have GV use a fixed access number. I use the myfaves paln to get free unlimited incoming/outoging calls. But when gv changes acess numbers and I don't catch it fast enough, I get charged.

As far as I am aware (from my knowledge of using google voice and from searching) there is not a way to prevent the access numbers from changing.
If you want to use one number for all your calls, you can start by calling your own GV number and selecting option 2 (place a call) from the main menu.

Google Voice texting problem

So I setup google voice at first and it was fine.
I still had my regular phone # and the google #. Both came up correctly when I called someone or texted someone through the stock app or GV app.
Texting was working fine too. Texting through the stock messaging app showed my regular # and texting through the GV app showed my GV #.
I don't know what happened but now all the texts I send through my regular messaging app come up as my GV #. I don't want that. Anyone know how to fix this to make it go back to normal?
So what I want is...
People I call using my regular sprint # see my regular sprint # on their caller id
People I text using the stock messaging app see my regular sprint # as their contact
People I call using my GV # see my GV # on their caller id
People I text using the GV app see my GV # as their contact

I don't know how to fix your problem, but porting my sprint # to gv and dropping my old gv number was the greatest decision I ever made concerning Google Voice. Well....except that time I got invited and signed up.
Then everything just comes from one number. But maybe you want it separate for a reason.
Again, sorry I don't know how to fix your issue. Good luck!

The problem is the wasn't an issue yesterday and now today it is acting all weird. Something in my settings must have made it freak out and that is what I need to find out.
I want both numbers to be separate because one number is from a different state and when people see it in my current state it looks a little suspect, if that makes any sense.
I disabled the GV # on the web and now the phone is acting fine with my real # but would like to use GV so wanted to see what settings I need to choose to get it to correctly work like before.

So this hasn't happened to anyone else or does no one frequent the general part of this board?

Sprint numbers can now fully integrate with Google Voice. Try deactivating Google Voice integration with your spring number then reactivating it - IIRC, it will give you a choice whether you want to be fully integrated or keep the number separate.

Gonna give that a try...thanks. Is there anyway to have google voice only log my texts from the GV # and be able to disable the texts through my regular sprint #?
Seems unnecessary having the texts also go into the GV inbox when I don't want them to. Wish I could turn that off.

Once you get your numbers split, GV should stop logging texts from your native phone number.

So if everything is working properly my sprint #s texts will go to my messaging app and my GV texts will just be in the GV inbox and everything will be totally separate...correct?
Is there some specific settings I need to change online on the GV site to make it all work properly?

I believe this is set through the initial setup (when you FIRST activate your phone for google voice)

Looks like I might have got it working again. Still getting regular texts in GV inbox tho.

[Q] Setting up google voice?

Im just running the stock gs3 rom from tmo.
No luck yet with google voice... the phone keeps reverting back to the default voicemail system.
Seems like tmobile is trying to force me to use their app?

there is an issue w/ the stock rom and GV
you can still get by it, just 'skip' the step to set it up as your provider, complete the rest of the setup, then go into your call settings on your S3 and change the settings accordingly.
step by step instructions:
- pull up the 'phone' app
- hit the menu button in the bottom left
- hit the menu button in the bottom left
- click 'call settings'
- scroll down to and select 'call forwarding'
- click 'voice call'
- then change the three settings 'forward when busy' / 'forward when unanswered' / 'forward when unreachable' all to your GV number (add a +1 before your 10 digit GV number)
fyi: google voice call log will still not show correctly on the stock rom in the phone log. when dialing out it will show the phone number it connected to at google voice.
hope this helps! please hit thanks if it helped!

Your step by step did not help me.
Im not trying to use google voice to make calls, but just change my voicemail provider.
When I did not answer my old phone it would say: this google voice subscriber is not available, etc.
And I would be able to view a voice-to-text version of my voicemails through the google voice app, as well as play them from the app.
Currently im forced to call my voicemail in order to listen to / delete my voicemails...

Log into google voice on your computer.
Go to settings >> phones
Find your phone. Click on the activate link if there is one. If there isn't click deactivate and then reactivate it.
I just went through the same thing the other day and I had to reactivate my phone for google voice. It involves dialing some crazy number from your phone, and basically thats it.

Is there anyway to make it show the number you are actually dialing instead of that stupid access number? That has been driving me crazy since release! There was some $2.00 app in the marketplace that was suppose to fix that,but it didn't and I had my money refunded immediately.
