Well this is kind of annoying... I'm using a T-Mobile S4 on the MetroPCS BYOD plan which is great... $55 all in (I have two lines).
The PROBLEM is while most manufacturers put their apps on the Google Play Store MetroPCS doesn't... all the MetroPCS apps (aka "bloatware" that come with a Metro phone aren't available anywhere.
This should be pretty simple, someone with a rooted phone could upload the apps. I really only want the the account management and visual voice mail apps.
I hope they fix this, any help in the mean time appreciated... the question is: WHERE CAN I GET THESE APPS?
Have you tried the metro app store, pretty sure it has that stuff.

There's a link to MyMetro (account management), post #3 and voicemail app is in metro store that was linked above.
FYI, I switched my two Metro S4s to TMO recently, but I was only able to get MyMetro to work on one of them beforehand. Hopefully goes better for you, but I tried calling them and they seemed to have no clue what the app is or how to get it working. One person said that it wasn't compatible with my phone or plan, the fact that it worked on one of them was irrelevant....customer service gotta love them.

anyone got the knowledge or skills to determine if those on at&t with a skyrocket lte data provisioned sim featured with visual voicemail could somehow mod this app or otherwise address hacks to get it operational on gsm GNxS?
Did you ever figure this out? I just unboxed the GN yesterday and am missing VVM already...
Just use Google voice

^^^^^^ Lord, it never fails..... (*shakes head*)
Anyway, I'm not sure that getting the app to install would be enough. I really don't know whether AT&T would check to see whether you were running an approved device before delivering your VVM over the data network, or whether it would be enough to have an LTE data plan and maybe be connected to the "pta" access point?
I doubt the apk checks anything on the device. mist likely just have to be provisioned correctly on the att system. Check you features unless it says vvm on it somewhere(will ether be a seperate feature or or attaches to a dataplan) it will not work.

QUESTION?
I have a skyrocket...and now a Note.
i want this app also.
ATT said its only designed for certin devices. (doubt that)
anyway
i am thinking of cloning the apk and a little redesign and moddifaction.
Question is.....WOULD ANY ONE CONSIDER A "CollectiveVisualVoiceMail.apk"
if so...let me know!
I am using an epic that has been ported over to virgin mobile.
the issue i'm constantly running into is that i cannot send multipaged sms.
i don't believe the sms is being split properly for vm.
has anyone else run into this problem?
If so have you fixed it? (and how)
Try Google voice

yes ofc google voice will work, but i'm interested in having sms work as well.
Then try another app
Say go sms

First and foremost. WHO ported the phone to Virgin Mobile? Was it you? A friend? A company or business that sold it to you? I could totally sue them for riffing off my guide, not giving credit where it's due, and selling free info for profit.
Anyway, what Rom are you on? make sure you have SMS split on under the messaging app, if it comes out garbled, it's because of that.
Sometimes their network may have issues, it is not uncommon for your own service to screw up after a couple months, it's the norm for Virgin Mobile and what you can do if you suspect it's the network is give them a call, dont mention the epic, just say you're having texting and call issues, and that you'd like your line reset, if they offer simple solutions, just keep saying nope, not working until they give in and reset your line. That could clear up your issues.

woah champ! Slow down!
It was a friend and myself who dun it... and I am pretty sure we hit the thanks button on your guide, if I didn't it's because I'm neglectful and probably forgot to do it >_<
Second off, we bragged about how cool you are for putting up the guide.

Oh damn, thanks I'm gonna try that right now!
Right now I am on aokp, but I am thinking of going back to cm9 after i found this really neat addon
yep, you got it on the head, i had to enable it for my sms app.
I'm thinking of buying a galaxy nexus, but I'm on at&t cell provider called straight talk (mvno).
The only question in my mind right now is if I will be able to use google wallet under the MVNO
It would be great if someone was in my same circumstances and give me some information. Any help would do.
Thanks in advance

Google Wallet is just an app and its not Network/Carrier driven.
I understand that, but there was an article in engadget.com about it working on Tmobile, and they seemed surprised.
It COULD have been cause they got it from the Tmobile google play store (different networks have different play stores)
I just wanted to make sure, that I could use the NFC before I buy the phone

Google Wallet was blocked in the past in the store. However, after it's installed, I haven't heard anything about its usage being blocked in any way.
It's not blocked in the US for the GSM version as of yesterday.

so can I sum it up by saying that Google wallet is dependant on hardware only, and that if it works on one (US) Carrier, it should work on any other?
Please correct any inaccuracies in that statement. Please point out ANY inaccuracies.

does the phone have NFC, is android, and can install apps? if the answer is yes, then it works.

That is incorrect, cause skyrocket has NFC, icecream sandwich (or legitimate GB) , and can install apps. This is still not enough to use google wallet. It's said that the reason is, that it doesn't have a "secure element"

I have a Galaxy Nexus with Straight Talk. And it doesn't update the balance or show card info, or neither work at the terminal when I type using Straight Talk Data network.
However it works fine over wifi.
This is what I've learned from my experience. Yes theoretically it should work. But it doesn't. If anyone has tried and it works, then please share how did you work it out.
I've had ST for several months and Wallet works flawlessly - with Wi-Fi and with mobile data

Your problem is most likely your apn is not set up correctly. When I first started using wallet with H2O wireless I had much the same problem. After deleting the apn's that auto populated and creating new ones with the correct settings my problems went away. I have since tried red pocket and Tmobile prepaid as well and have had no issues using wallet on any of them.

Hi there,
Would you guys be kind enough to grab the right APN settings and post it here for me. I have factory Reset my device twice and still failed. So I'm hoping its only a APN problem only as well.
By the way I have ATT version of SIM Card from straight talk

Same issue here. I called a tmo rep and they "added the free feature to my account" yet every time I hit next at the voicemail setup menu it sits at processing and errors out with a "no response from server". I am on T-Mobile's LTE network with full signal, so that isn't the issue.
***EDIT***
Some additional info:
-Just bought my Note 3 yesterday.
-Just switched from an iPhone 5 (It was lame) that had functioning voicemail
-I have a postpaid simple choice account.
Hopefully we can get this figured out
Hey guys. A lot of things go wrong on T-Mobile bloatware. Just get YouMail from the market. Trust me it will save you so much more time and frustration. I install it on every android I have.
Just tried youmail and got an error saying that my youmail test call has failed every time. This is weird, I'm blaming the iPhone lol

Mine didn't work Since I Bought The phone. Backed up my data n restored to factory. Worked first shot. Kept getting couldn't connect to server..
Since I've had my phone (approx. 1.5 years), I've basically just gone without any voicemail service. The reason being, I'm using an unlocked T-Mobile GS3 (T999) on an AT&T service plan. My stock T-Mobile Visual Voicemail didn't work (as I recall), so I never bothered.
Now, however, I would like to have voicemail set up, and I'm pretty lost. I'm sure I'm just making it harder than it is, but I'd rather be sure. Can I just download any basic Visual Voicemail app from the play store and be good to go? If so, any recommendations?
For the record, I'm running CyanogenMod 11 m10
I think you have to call t-mobile and get it set up to work with their vvm.
