hi all! so i use google voice as my voicemail. i'd like to know if either/both of these are possible. ive seen this done on the S3 but can't seem to figure it out on the GN2:
1) in the phone, the hotkey for 1 takes you to your voicemail inbox. i'd like to change the number so that it calls the google voice inbox.
2) is there anyway to change the voicemail button (under the * key) to bring up google voice? as of right now it brings up the voicemail app.
Still looking for a solution to this =)
Can't help you. . My phone number is my Google voice number so it works and doing 1 for me dials my number does not bring up voice mail app

I am having an issue with Google Voicemail. I have setup my google phone number to pick up if I dont answer the call. But instead of a google voicemail I get complete silence. If I call my personal cell I get the google voicemail number, which makes no sense. Bottomline I would like for when people call my google voice number and I decline the call that the google voicemail would pick up instead of dead silence or one of my employees personal voicemails to pick up. Can anyone help?
Hi,
Did you setup call forwarding? Google has instructions for setting this up on the settings page.
Select activate Google voicemail on this phone.

I have a question about google voicemail. I have finally decided to use it instead of the sprint voicemail. I activated from my browser(voicemail only I didn't integrate google voice) and dialed the long number it told me to dial. I tested it and it works but there are 2 things I noticed about it and I was wondering if there is any way to change them. I set google voice up to notify me via the status bar. When I pull down the notification and tap it, it takes me to the sms app. Is there anyway to change this so that it takes me to the google voice app without making google voice my default sms app? The second thing is that when I dial my voice mail from my phone by either pressing and holding the number 1 on the key pad or saying voicemail on the voice dialer, it calls the sprint voicemail and it tells me welcome to sprint voicemail and that I have not setup my voicemail. Is there anyway to get it to default to dialing my google voicemail instead? I know the google voicemail is working because when I dial my cell phone and it drops into voicemail I hear the greating I recorded. Also if I manually go to the voice app, the voice message is there and I can play it.
You can change what number you dial with 1 in call settings. Google Voice works best with the app.
Turn off text notifications in your Google Voice settings to get rid of the notification problem.
I made this simple video just because my device didn't ship with AT&T Visual Voicemail preinstalled, and it is a feature included in my plan.
Perhaps some people don't know it is included in their plan. Either way, a lot of people viewed my video for the S3.
Be gentle. Thanks...
I only wish the visual voicemail app would have the unread count bubble on the icon like the email app and text app...
Yeah. The widget isn't much of a widget huh?

I want bubble icons also... :good:
You can also set up Google Voice to do this, it also tells you how many new voicemails you have, don't know about the bubble though
This video shows the dialer codes you want to punch in to forward to your Google Voice number...
--------------------------------
This phone requires a little more input than my CDMA phones. Sorry.. . This was the last video and was taken early in the morning. I was really tired.
Really this should work for all phones on AT&T. iPhones and Android phones.

Check current config: *#61# Call (copy your current phone number for your voicemail!)
Google Voice (best configuration)
---------------------------------------------------------------
Busy Call Forwarding: Dial *67* plus the 10-digit number to which your calls should be forwarded and #. Press Send.
Call Forwarding No Reply: Dial *61* plus the 10-digit number to which your calls should be forwarded and #. Press Send.
Call Forwarding Not Reachable: Dial *62* plus the 10-digit number to which your calls should be forwarded and #. Press Send.
---------------------------------------------------------------
I would not use this unless you are on vacation and want everything to forward or you are changing phone numbers.
Immediate Call Forwarding: Dial *21* plus the 10-digit number to which your calls should be forwarded and #. Press Send.

I have tried several times to set up this system
Even whe VVM calls the voice it does not disconnect as in the video
Is there another step I am missing

I've had problems with the One X. Reinstall or try everyday. Then go to AT&T I guess. I finally got lucky with the One X.

check with att whether your data plan has visual voicemail.. I had to talk to att for an hour until they figured out my unlimited data plan did not include visual voicemail. they switched it to anotther unlimted data plan with visual voicemail and it started working.
I am not getting any voicemails on Google voice. I have Google Voice selected for "Voicemail service" and I am running Wicked V2. I have never used Google voice before so I don't know if its Wicked or what. When I get a voicemail I get a notification saying that I have a new voicemail and when I tap the notification it dials to my voicemail over the phone. When I have a voicemail and open Google Voice, there is nothing in my inbox or under voicemail even after I refresh it.
if you log in to gvoice thru your web browser on your computer, in the settings it'll give you a forwarding code to type into your phone's dialer

Thanks. They should have that info in their app.
I concur. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the phone itself. In the past I never had to set it up this way

I figured out on my own after fumbling through the call settings then additional settings. Figured it out and it worked. 3 weeks layer I began to not get gv mails again.... Somehow the call forwarding reset itself to tmo voice mail. I called them and had them disable my vm feature and gv is back to normal fwiw

I managed to find the forwarding settings myself as well. Now I created a contact with Google's voice mail number because it was such a pain to find on their site. I'll be watching to see if it flips back to T-mobile.

I got mine to work.. finally as well.. but.. i still get my voicemail in Tmobile voicemail and Google voice.. weird.. but.. it works, lol
The fix I used on my phone and works is to insert the following MMI code into your dialer as well as ensuring Google voice is selected as your voice mail **004*1412532****# (insert your Google Voice number after the *after the 004 and insert a # after your number. A message should come up on your phone saying the change was successful. This will also change your forward settings phone numbers as well
Google Voice voicemail has been successfully configured on my phone. all unanswered calls will go to my Google Voice voicemail. i'd like to press-n-hold 1 on my dialpad to call Google Voice, but i'm unable to change preset the voicemail number because the setting is disabled. (See pic below). Is there another method to change this number to my Google Voice number? Thanks in advance to those who reply.
Looking for a answer to this also.
I just use the google Voice app instead of dialing anything. I have not used voice mail for years. It all goes to Google Voice and I get a transcript via text and it shows up in my gmail account.
Does yours work perfectly all the time? I've been using Google Voice for years and with my Note 2 and Note 3 is like 50:50 sending my voice mail to voice. Half the time it still goes to my tmobile voice mail.

I've never used Tmobile voice mail. Didn't use VZW when I was using it either.
On the Note 3 there are 4 forward settings that affect where calls go..
Always forward - I don't use this
Forward when busy - Set to Google Voice
Forward when unanswered - Set to Google Voice
Forward when unreachable - Set to Google Voice
You have to have the last 3 set to point to your Google voice number or you might still have messages sent to your t-mobile voice mail.
Settings -> Device Tab -> Call -> Additional Settings -> Call Forwarding
Thanks I just checked that and mine are all set to forward to my Google voice number as well. Still for some reason done of the voice mail messages go to my tmobile number.
