For some reason all of my calls are going directly to voicemail. I use Youmail on cyanogen 7 and can't figure it out. I was thinking about uninstalling youmail but even if I uninstall the app, my calls still go to the youmail service/
Any suggestions on how to stop my phone from automatically going to voicemail and/or how to actually disable youmail service from handling my calls?
ok i'm signed out of youmail account and still all my calls go directly to voicemail. I use this for work so this is really frustrating. I tried exploring sprint voicemail options and couldn't find a setting that would allow my calls to ring.
ok i think i figured it out. Somehow i had a blacklist of numbers in my call settings. i don't know how that happened. Maybe my butt did it or something. Very weird.
Hi this just started happening recently. I don't know what's going on because I didn't flash a new rom or anything. I'm running Warm 2point2 version 5 from January.
Anyway, my visual voicemail was working a few days ago. however, now I keep getting text messages saying
//ANDROID: 2123314140 has sent you a Sprint Voice Message. Call 408-970-0000 to listen. MMSN, 165690d00, 2086, V69zLlbixvi//CM
Has this happened to anyone else and why?? Thanks for any help.
That sounds like Google Voice. Have you used that? You'll need to go to Google's website on a computer, sign in, go to "Voice" and go to settings.
Hm I've used Google Voice before and had issues and I brought it into Sprint and they fixed it for me. I thought I was rid of Google Voice already! Hmm so what do you do in settings? All it gives me is billing and account, to change it to english or the time zone =/. How do I rid myself of Google Voice once and for all???
I had this happen too out of the blue. It's not google voice. It is either Handcent SMS or Go SMS Pro. I have Go SMS and what I did to solve it was uncheck the box in Settings>receive Settings> Disable other message notification. That solved it for me.
All sprint probably did was uninstall the app. Trust me, I've made the comment of Google voice taking over your phone like Cyberdyne before lol.
Anyways, go to Google and log in. Go to "voice." Go to settings, manage phones, or numbers, or something line that. You have to uncheck your phone number to finally break the link. If you can't find it I'm sure somebody can explain it a little clearer lol.
It wouldn't hurt to check your settings in handcent, if use it. However, if you have not actually fonder to Google's website on the computer, and unlinked your phone number, then you have not really really escaped yet.
Hi this is Jack Diemer, the voicemail product manager at Sprint. It looks to me like you Visual Voicemail did not provisioned. You are receiving the voicemail, but the client does not know what to do with it, so it is giving you the SMS user experience as if you were not a Visual Voicemail subscriber. Try these steps.
Make sure that no 3rd Party Apps are affecting Visual Voicemail (such as any SMS, MMS, TaskKiller, Handcent app)
Next…..
1. Go to dial pad and hit *38 Talk to cancel any call forwarding.
2. Power off the device and remove and replace the battery and power back on.
3. Update profile by hitting Menu – Settings – System Updates – Update profile (try to leave yourself a VM)
4. Go into the visual voicemail application and compose a visual voicemail message (Hit Menu - Compose) of 5+ seconds and send to [email protected]m.sprint.com
5. Test to see if visual voicemail is working again, and if the top 4 items above do not solve the issue, I recommend you call *2 and talk to a Sprint Customer Care Representative.
Thanks for all the responses!! AliLaPointe was right; it was my GO SMS -_______-. I just had to disable the "disable other text notifiications" to get my voicemail working again. Does that mean you'll have to just live with multiple text messages to get your visual voicemail?
And voicemail guy thanks for the advice. Is it true you can send a voicemail as opposed to leaving one (i.e. you compose a message and record it and then send it to them? How does that work? is it like email but in voice format?"
ok, this has been driving me nuts. It is my Handcent SMS, that is messing up visual voicemail. I dont know how why or when they put a part of this program in to cause this text message notifications to come instead of my VVM, but I HATE IT! Uninstalled Handcent and all works like it is supposed to.
Any ideas of how to get handcent to work as it did just a week ago? I did not get an update that I know of.
Also if you hit #2 when you dial that weird number ending in all 0000s, it will say that you will receive all voicemails to the phone. I dont know if that works or not as I am not going to install Handcent again.

Thank you voicemailguy....you've saved me. When I called sprint about this exact issue. The only hope they had for me was to do a hard reset...I don't think so. I truly think for my case I had a little of both issues my Go SMS pro was enabled and vvm wsa not activated. Thanks again for alleviating my frustrations.
I had a voicemail but I already heard it in winmo, now the voicemail notification won't go away. I already tried calling my voicemail and hear the message again but it still doesn't want to go away. Can you anyone help me?

Clear it in WinMo. There's directions on how to do this... CDMA is finnicky with voicemail, it's dumb. That's one of the main reasons I use Google Voice .
Call and leave another message then call and listen to it.
Sounds stupid, but it works for me every time in WinMo or FRX7.1.
Haven't had to test it in OMGB (yet).
Delete the voicemail?
I am using T-Mobile's Visual Voicemail app and I can't turn off the notification for the regular voicemail. Every time I get a voicemail I get double notifications, one for the regular voicemail system and one for visual voicemail. How can I fix this?
I am running the Darkside.Evolution.3 V8 Rom if that helps at all.`
Just wanting to see what anyone has done to get visual voicemail working. I need some voicemail notifications and an not getting any.
I use YouMail.
You'll have to sign up for an account and setup voicemail there and forward unanswered calls to their service instead of your carrier's service
