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.

Did You Take The EL30 Update And Cant Recieve Calls ?

If you took the EL30 update and get a System Force Close Error when you recieve a phone call ,Try going to settings, Call settings, Reject with Message and see how many you have ,anything over 5 will cause that error, If you have to delete some , Hit the menu button Select Delete and check off the ones you want to delete..

just for the record "flastnotes" method works. thats allowing the update, waiting for it to fail, then just pull battery out and then reboot phone.

I really dont know what your talking about , Im talking about a force close error when recieving calls , sounds like your rooted or something and dont want the update bugging you..

1/26 update:
If a force close error is displayed when you receive an incoming call, ensure the "reject call with message"
set up includes no more than 5 messages. To access these settings, go to
Menu > Settings > Call settings > Reject with message, choose the menu key and select 'delete', check
the box next to each message to be deleted and select 'delete' again
This is from sprint like haxter said

[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.

[Q] Changing the voicemail icon settings

Hello,
Is there a way to change the voicemail number that is dialed when the voicemail icon is pressed?
when i pressed this icon for the first time I was prompted to enter a phone number, I entered the phone number but my carrier uses 121 as the number to dial.
My voicemail settings are disabled. I have Lyca mobile.
Thanks
