Can't get Google voice to work - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

When I install Google voice and get to the part where it asks to use Google voice fit voicemail and select it, but there is no next button to continue. It says that I am using Google voice in the call settings, but all voicemails go to T-Mobile's voicemail.

Skip that part and move next.
Once setup is finished you can get the codes from Google voice webpage to use in the dialer to change voice mail settings.

How do I change the settings for that? Because when I try to change the voicemail number, it only allows me to choose either "voicemail" or "Google voice", it does not allow me to enter a number.

I had the same problem and I went into the call forwarding settings and changed the number there to my google voice number. seems to work now.

Call forwarding is blocked from me getting access to it.

This same topic was covered a couple of weeks ago so search, I'm too lazy to do it for you. The solution was to set it up online through a browser.

Got it, thanks! Here is the link to it incase someone else has the issue

Yeah, iirc the online fix just sets up call forwarding to your Google voice number.

Google voice

So I downloaded Google voice and didn't like it due to the pressing 1 or 2 to answer a phone call.
I then uninstalled the app from my phone and still getting the prompt to press 1 or 2. How do I get rid of that.?.

Well, you have to unlink Google Voice from your Sprint number, however, if that's why you don't like it you can just go into Google Voice account settings from your PC and disable call screening, as well as text and email notifications. If you're looking for just a visual voicemail, then setup Google Voice without integrating your Sprint number.

How to get rid of google voice settings?

So I tried to see what google voice does exactly and I seen its not necessary for me so I uninstalled it but noticed that its settings are still on. So I reinstalled it and went in the settings and signed out which was supposed to take it off completely but its still there. When I get a phone call and answer I always have to press "1" to answer. And I get txts and e mails of my voice mails which I don't like. How can I get rid of this completelyyy?

Wifi texting

Ok I will be going to a place where no company gets signal, meaning I can't roam, but I will still have Wifi so I'm wondering what, if I can, do i have to do in order to get Wifi texting? I will and am running CM10 M2.
Thanks

Best thing I would do is use a free text service like text free since it uses data only.

Use Google voice with your current number. You should be able to text. But no mms

Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Nothing special just select to use your current number. I would sign up using a pc though. Far more options and easier to navigate. And then download the app and sign in with your login. G voice is an great service I don't know why more people don't use it

That one costs $2.99/month for the service. The regular Zipwhip app works, and it's free to use.

Personally I would just use google voice. Just download > link it to your sprint number > done. Only thing is google voice can't receive mms messages, like pictures / video. But you can still text and get voice mail, and no additional cost.

You actually can receive mms messages. You just have to set up Google Voice to where you want to receive messages with your email as well.
If someone says they sent you a picture and you don't see it using Google Voice, just check your gmail. and go through the conversation and you should see an attachment.

At&t visual voicemail!

I cant seem to get past the password screen I know its correct password and yes I even reset it! Anyone else get it working ?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
Got mine working... I kept trying to use the password for my account... then I was trying to use my passcode... then I remembered my voicemail password from 5 years ago was completely different...
Had same problem. Worked for me when I disabled wifi and set up att visual voice mail using my cellular data connection. Try cleaning app data in app manager and open att visual app using only cellular connection. Should work then.

Also, if you use the stock AT&T Messages app it integrates visual voicemail but you loose the ability to save voicemails as .amr audio files.
Instead you have to go to https://messages.att.net/ to save your voicemails as audio files.
Using the website is like Google Voice so you can see all your voicemails including text and incoming/outgoing call logs.
Thanks for this post. I didn't even know visual voicemail was supported!
I wasnt talking about att messages app- just to be clear it is visual voicemail app in play store that att crap sucks

The only way that I know of to deactivate googke voice is through the website and not the app.

I don't see any options in AT&T Visual Voice that allows you to same messages as .amr files.
Ugh, it was there a month ago. Maybe they removed that feature?

That's the one I downloaded. It looks and operates just like AT&T Messages. You might want to avoid downloading the newer copy.

[Q]Google Voice

I don't know if this is specific to the Note 2. But I recently got google voice on it and set up my new number. But I can't receive or send texts through the Voice app.
Does work for me.
