Can't access Voice Mailbox - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a problem. I cannot get into my voice mailbox to change my personal greeting. I have a different dialer downloaded but it won't even access the stock dialer. Anyone have sane problem or an answer?

New Google Voice app fixes this issue.

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?

this is normal.. you have to login to GV in a web browser and change the settings.

You have to change call screening options.

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

Any special way I have to set that up?
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.

Vmail for 10.1?

Is there one? Does it work well?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
Voicemail? Or is there an app called vmail?
I've been using Google voice. I switched over from the Sprint VVM when I made the move to CM10. I don't know if VVM works on 10.1 builds. GV works well and I don't get the extra text 9016 notification anymore like earlier CM versions.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Yeah I was wondering if there was a voicemail app that worked. I just called it vmail for short. I'm tired of those 9016 notifications and having the app is just so convenient.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I've been pretty happy with Google voice. It seems to function as well as Sprint's network allows.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I'm checking it out. Are u forced to use its other features or can you just set it up so u only use voicemail?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
Just voicemail. I can't remember exactly what to select, but just pay attention when you set it up. You can change settings easily from your Google account on a computer if needed. Do a quick search on how to setup GV without it taking over, that should give you the info you need.
