I've used Google voice for years, but last week I accidentally set up the AT&T voicemail password and since then I can't get Google voice to take over again.
Would I need to contact AT&T about disabling their voicemail service?

Thanks a bunch! I had the same problem and this fixed it right up.
Alternatively (although not as easy), you can go into the Call settings, Additional settings, and then the Call forwarding settings and set up the Google Voice number there.

I use Google Voice for visual VM. I just forwarded my missed calls to that VM instead of AT&T's. It works just the same when you call and now I get my voice mails on all of my Android devices like my tablet.

If your phone came with AT&T Messages, you need to go to AT&T store to have them switch you back to the old VVM system. I upgrade to Messages and hated it and went back.

you don't have to go into the store you can call a csr they should be able to reset your account.
I also use Google voice and its awesome. But since most messages left are in Spanish, Google will tell me the craziest things when it tries to make them into English words (I get a hell of a kick out of it)

Can't get this to work
This app worked fine when I was using TW, but I switched over to AOKP and the app will not work. I go through the setup and it asks for my pin. I type in my pin and the app just sits there with the wheel spinning, looking like its doing something. However, it never comes back. I've uninstalled/reinstalled, factory reset, wiped cache & Dalvik cache. Any ideas?

Thanks. I should have spent a little more time looking around before posting. I also found the answer here.
I switched to Paranoid Android and somehow lost my phone # in the sim card. I was searching and found I had to go into the phone app and readd my # and also readd my voicemail dial in #(which is different than your phone #)
Had to call AT&T for that.
I was never able to get att visual VM to work. Tried everything even called att. They couldn't figure it out...surprising huh

For some reason, I can not get my phone to use Google Voice as my default VMB for the phone. I installed Google Voice, and it asked if I wanted to do that. I said yes, selected Google Voice (as opposed to Carrier) and it said it failed to update. I tried manually under phone settings many times. Tried rebooting too, nothing.
Any idea why I can't change calls to be directed to Google Voice for voicemail?
I'm on stock LH9 ROM, rooted and the special tethering framework (I tried without this first, but still no luck).
ya, tried the att messages app today.. horrible. it froze my contacts and kept shutting down some google app process.
for those who are curious.. google voice works on ICS. took me a moment to figure it out, and really liked having it on gingerbread. go to google voice website. hit settings and then "activate voicemail" it gives you a series of symbols and numbers to enter into your dialer and then it's activated.
BAM.
Does anyone else have any problems setting up with att?

Could not retrieve and save current forwarding number settings. Switch to new provider anyway?
Yes-
Call Settings updating.
Call Settings Error
Forwarding number change unsuccessful. Please contact your carrier if this problem persists.
so should i go to ATT and see what they say or is there a fix i can do for this?
Try going into Google Voice on your computer and checking out the settings. There is a code you can use to deactivate and reactivate the voicemail feature.
When it fails to set forwarding number, is this in the automatic setup or were you manually forwarding in your settings?
Sent from my LT28at using xda premium
I had same trouble with voicemail. I called to att to deactivate carrier voicemail. They sad it's already expired??? I know I have att voicemail and it's active. So no help from support. I changed manually forwarding numbers to gvoice number. And voicemail number to gvoice. And everything working for me now.

you may have to just set up manual call forwarding to set up google voicemail.
*004*your number#

This seemed to have fixed my problem for now, i dont get very many calls so ill have to keep calling myself to test it.
Thanks guys!
I can only find the pay visual voicemail app. Sprint had an app where the voicemail would be sent to your phone and you could listen to the sound file without calling your voicemail. Does AT&T not have anything like that?
Before anyone says it, I don't want to use Google Voice since I want that to be a separate phone number.

Try Visual Voicemail Plus. It even works with aosp.aokp, cm9, cm10, etc.

Doh!!!!
I have used this AT&T Visual Voicemail App since the Original Note.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.att.mobile.android.vvm
Before opening it for the first time you need to call Customer Service and have them completely reset your voicemail.
Once they reset your voicemail open your AT&T VVM App and go through the steps.
It works for me every time.
Good luck
Sorry guys. When I said free, I meant completely free. No app cost, no monthly cost (don't want to pay for visual voicemail).
To those that suggested Google Voice, did you even read my original post? I want to keep my Google number separate from my regular number. Am I missing something here as to why people suggested it despite my OP?
Anyway like I was saying, Sprint provided a free voicemail app that would allow you to listen to your voicemails without calling it up. It would send the voicemail to the app whenever you got one.

I got the same error. If you just change your voicemail number to your GV number it will work. Also go to google voice on the web and follow the instructions to deactivate and reactivate your phone.

with changing from GV to Sprint VVm you have to go to Google voice under a PC and disable Google voice on your phone.
The enter *730 and end no answer call forwarding. That should make all work correctly.

Call Sprint support and they will deactivate Google Voice in your account for you.
Since Sprint partner with Google and does the integration on the voice mail, the only way to deactivate it's thru them. Good luck! :thumbup:

OMG, please at least be 100% sure you're giving the right advise. Calling Sprint is not the "only way" to deactivate GV Mail. I've done it a zillion times via the settings page on the GV website.
O.P, did you try * 38 ?
If you call into care or go into a store simply request that they remove the GVOICE soc code from your account. This will resolve the issue with no waiting. While it is true that you can do it from google.com, there is often a long wait. Doing it through sprint is instant.

What's wind ?
If you go into call settings what's your voicemail settings? My carrier ?
For ATT, all you have to do is press #1 on dialer and it dials voicemail number.
