I finally realized that there is no voice mail notification when using CM9 (Aeroevan's version). What seems a good quick option for notifications for voicemail? I searched Google Play and really didn't find much.
I figured out I wasn't getting notified when my boss asked me why I quit answering my voice mail....LOL!

Use google voice for voicemail. You don't have to route any calls through it.

So, I jumped on the Google Voice yesterday and ported my sprint number over there. So I have some questions and I am hoping someone here can help.
- All of my incoming texts are going to the Google voice inbox. I would prefer to keep them separate in my messaging app.
- When I do get a voice mail I not only get the notification in my Voice app, but I get a text and gmail telling me I have a voice mail. I only want one in the voice app.
Thanks!

Address all your questions to this thread that already exists. A simple google search on the topic brings it up immediately.
Your questions have all been answered there.
Right out of the box?
AT&T needs to turn it on first.
Start app.
It will call your voice mail.
then enter pin.

Okay, so when I activate my device, do I need to call ATT to turn it on?
I thought its a paid feature? Just use Google Voice instead
Google Voice did not seem to be working on my phone. Anyone able to get it working on theirs, or is there some issue with Google Voice and the S3 for now?
AT&T Messages
you need to get AT&T Messages from the Google Play Store you will get all you message, Voicemail, and calls in one spot.
From the main/home screen go two screens to the left and click on the AT&T Messages icon. It will walk you through the setup as mentioned above. I believe it specifically states the service is free (as it should be).
Now my question is why didn't they put this on the main/home screen? Why not make it the default? Who wouldn't want VVM?

There is already a thread about google voice's voice mail. You just have to dial a number to activate it. On mine it still says Carrier Voice mail, but my missed calls actually go to google's voice mail.
I went to the Play Store and downloaded AT&T's Visual Voicemail app. That worked well.

OK so we have two choices for VVM. Does anyone have enough experience to compare the pros and cons of each?

Visual Voice mail is great for voice mail. Really nice app. Love it.
AT&T messages combines text, voice mail, ect. rendering your regular messaging app useless or getting double notifications, and you can't turn them off from the at&t app. (it is basically the devil. And I made just to disable it as soon as I got the phone.)
Just my .02

I'm pretty unimpressed with this. I don't know why, but it bugs me to have to manually type in my google VM number to each forward field.

that's why you call the # code.
art vvm app is OK, but Google voice has a cleaner look and operation. neither is intuitive to set up though so read the directions.
att messages is terrible and should be disabled or uninstalled or nuked from orbit.
No matter what I do I can't get att visual voicemail to work. The app tells me that it is has not received a response from att. I've called att and my account is set up correctly but the app still doesn't work so I just gave up and use YouMail.
The note 2 is my first android phone, so please forgive me if this is a stupid question. I cannot find a my voicemail. I have to call my voicemail to get my messages, and I do not receive any notifications when I do have a voicemail. I do not have a icon for the voicemail either. Thank you for the input

I use google voice for voicemail... allows me to see/retreive vmail from any internet device, not just phone, and also to use same vmail for multiple phones. Alternatively, your carrier may offer visual voicemail (for a fee)

press and hold 1 for voice mail. Or when you go to the dialer, you'll see a recorder looking icon below the star key. That's voicemail. But I agree, you should get google voice. www.google.com/voice
Google Voice user here as well and love it.
I can't an alternative to Google voice so I use it.
Hi all, sorry for another question so soon. Anyway, with my old rooted re-rommed Evo 4 I was able to integrate with Google Voice and actually send text messages using Google Voice on the PC or on my tablet. I seem to have been able to get Google Voice "integrated" on the Optimus G, but I don't have the ability to send text messages from PC or tablet. Does anyone know anything at all about this? Any ideas? Thanks!
Aaron
Not sure why you are having that problem. My Google voice is working right. I was just on the PC yesterday sending texts.

Might have to remove your phone from Google voice and re add it?
I've had issues with Goggle Voice also that once I Integrate my sprint number with google voice, anybody that tries to calls me gets a busy signal. Don't even know how to fix this.
I've also had problems with google voice, whenever someone calls me and I answer, it goes straight to voicemail and I can even hear google voice talking.

Try uninstalling the GV app in the Play store then download it again. It should bring you through the settings again to confirm carrier integration. If that doesn't work go to voice.google.com on the computer, click the little gear on the top right, click settings and check the phone settings. You should see the little sprint logo next to your phone number.

This is not a "problem" but a feature... They call it call screening. Press 1 to accept the call, even after the person has started leaving a message. I turned off this feature. Go to voice.google.com on the computer, click the little gear on the top right, click settings, then click the tab for "Calls". Call screening is the first option, turn it off.
I only know all this because I have used GV since it first came out, then integrated immediately when Sprint made it an option.
Thanks all for the replies. I did as suggested and uninstalled google voice then reinstalled. It still wouldn't let me send texts from PC or tablet, but I guess I wasn't patient enough, because a short while later those features became available. So I guess for whatever reason there was a delay but I'm in business now.

I think there might also have been a slow-down on GV's end the past couple of days; I just received a voicemail from last night and a text from earlier this AM, so there might've been some general strangeness afoot as well.
I just successfully updated to CM11 and I no longer have a voicemail app and I can't seem to find a way to check voicemail (I left myself one, so I know one should be there.) I tried reading and searching, but couldn't find anything.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Ok, well I found the voicemail apk , but now I can't stop getting the 9016 text. URGH! Looking around it looks like blacklisting is the best option? I don't use google voice, but I do you hangouts for sms.

I've never had any luck getting a VM app to work on any of the custom ROMS I've tried as it would work on TouchWiz. To access my VM on Sprint I call my own phone number. You can add a one touch dial widget to dail your phone number to make it a bit more automated.
I'd rec Google Voice. Works like a charm all the time...and isn't feature bricked like Sprint VVM. Oh yea and works on any ROM.
Thanks for advice It helped me, i switched to visual voicemail app though
