2. Log on to My T-mobile web site
3. Change your phone to My Touch 3G
4. Then click Change Services
5. Check the box for Visual Voicemail, and click through the verification stuff.
6. Open the visual voicemail app from the phone and activate it!
DONE!!!!
This is confirmed to work with T-zones! Because I have T-zones!
I have t-zones as well.
when I change my phone in my t-mobile to either a bb9700 or mytouch3g, and try to add visual voice mail.....the system tries to remove my 5.99 t-zones.
any way past this?
Hmmm, if Tmobile tries to remove the T-zones, I think it is quite risky...just like using an Android phone with T-zones.
I also have the $5.99 plan, but I'm sticking with Windows phone since all Android phones have been switched to $25-30/month data plans.
do you have to install it to the main mem cus i have it on the card and it says getting account status ad i get a txt that i know is ment for the program cus its from 129 and says//wm:status:st= blah blah. but the program is not picking ut up

T-mobile doesn't force you to change to the different package when you change your phone.

I installed the program to the main memory. I had that come up before I changed the phone online. Once I did, and activated the software, it didn't do that again.
Hmmm, I'm a bit scared to do this lol
I switched to the MyTouch 3G (pink one) and added the "VISUAL VOICE MAIL", but it needs me to add the "Android $30 internet" and submit my changes to my monthly bill.
Did you submit it and then change back to a "dummy phone" choice?
Thanks!
If you had the grandfathered 5.99 T-Zones before, they will force you to take the $30 plan and switching to the dummy phone will not bring it back. Read the other thread.

Dang, that means OP got very lucky He has the same plan
I got it working....
I had the same trouble....
Trying to activate Visual Voice mail WILL force you to sign up for the $30 android data plan. As the Data plan is already "selected" and you cannot uncheck it.
Here is what I did....
1) Changed my Phone to MyTouch.
2) Added the Visual Voice mail.
3) Accepted the service change (knowing that I am accepting the $30 Android data plan instead of the regular smart phone data plan, which is in every way the same and is only $25).
4) After this you will have the Visual Voice mail working.
5) Change the phone back to TP2 in your account.
6) Call T-mobile and tell them you accidently changed your plan to Android Data Plan and you own/use TP2.
7) They will gladly change it back for you, because TP2 "technically" is a smart phone and not an Android phone.
You will be left with your old plan and the new visual voice mail...
I think tmobile is changing the data plan price from 25 to 30 anticipating the soon to be established 4G coverage. Once that is completed, any new data connection will be charged $30. Keep your plan unchanged, you might get grandfathered in with a better coverage.
This isn't working for me...
Edit: I just had to wait a few hours for the provioning to work.

Hmm, if this is true, it means all of us that have the old T-zones plan is out of luck (besides OP)
I know that ONCE the $5.99 internet is gone, they will have NO WAY of adding it back for me when I call.

Yes you are right....if it is a grandfathered service, you will have no luck and get it back.....
I wud say wait till Tmobile officially releases the software for other smart phones....at that point you might be able to add the feature....

this is what i get if i try and add it with a touch pro2
i cant duplicate this , it also tried to add the $30 data plan too.
EDITEDITEDITEDIT!!!!!!
whooot whoot.
I followed the OP's orginal post. I too was forced to get upgraded to the $30 data plan.
I called up a friend that works at Tmobile. He was able to just add it to the account. took all of 30 seconds to text him to do it!
I have....
$89.99 retention plan for two lines unlimited voice
$5.99 each line tzones
$4.99 300 texts each line
and now visual voice mail!
i suppose one can call up and get a stupid custermer service agent to just add it. this was seems too easy, walk in to a tmobile store and ask to have it turned on. thats it.

Ok, this may be a dumb question, BUT...
Do you have a SIM card in there?
AND,
Do you have a T-mobile account?

lmao, yes and yes
unlimited data plan too and connected to wifi
I had the same problem -- because my SIM was pretty ancient. It was actually a PowerTel SIM (who got bought by VoiceStream who got bought by T-Mobile). Just drop by a T-Mobile store and get a new SIM. It's quick and free.
PS -- In my case, the "My Account" app didn't work, either. It would always say "cannot retreive account information at this time" or something like that. But literally everything else on the device worked fine -- voice, data, SMS, blah blah blah. Even T-Mobile TV.
It was just the stuff that needed specific T-Mobile account information would fail.
Well I have this issue even though I just got a brand new T-mo contract on Thursday so I doubt the sim is ancient?
I realised the problem.

That worked for me. It no longer says invalid SIM!
I didn't even have to call. Just go to settings> wireless&networks> mobile networks> then enable data roaming fixed it for me. Using G2x. This was driving me crazy at first because wifi calling worked fine when i first got phone then after flashing a rom it did not work. This fixed it for me, i know its old post but hope this helps someone else too.

When i wrote my first reply i did not realize this post was for the G2 not the G2x, maybe that's why it didn't work for you, on my G2x international roaming does not need to be on, only national data roaming, i also had to reboot phone after turning roaming on. If this doesn't help i would suggest doing what others have mentioned, call t mobile. Maybe for the G2 the roaming needs to be enabled on t-mobile's side, i really don't know for sure. Good luck, i know how annoying this can be, as i get no cell coverage in my bedroom, so wifi calling is my only option for me. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
Since I flashed to TAKJU 4.0.4 and 4.1, I couldn't find tmobile's visual voicemail in the Play store. It states that your device is not support in your country. I lives in USA. Do you guys experience the same thing? Anyone has that .apk file? Thank you.

Yea, I had that problem too. But I was able to find the apk outside of the Play store. I'm running 2.0.20, current version is 2.0.28, which just doesn't work at all. I'm trying to see if I can find a newer version than 0.20, but before 0.28. I've attached the apk for 2.0.20.
updated to 4.1.1 and i found the app....cool

AFAIK Visual Voicemail is not available on prepaid
Did a search on tmobile's site and that is the case.. I really really want to go t-mobile, but it looks like because of the VVM and conditional call forwarding, I'm going it have the go ATT on the ST BYOD SIM... I ended up getting the tmobile sim for a buck and might just activate it on the $30 plan just to see exactly what kind of data performance difference I get between the two... I figure for $30 worth investigating..
I wonder if T mobile knows how many customers they are loosing out on with Straight Talk because of the call forwarding issue? I'm sure they would rather get the activation than ATT. I'm sure I am not alone in the fact that I refuse to go back to having to call in for voice mails after using gvoices voice mail for so long.
can't call forward on straight talk either

I use Visual Voicemail with my T-Mobile prepaid. I love it, so much less stressful than the typical voicemail system navigation where you press 7 or 9 (wait, which was save and which was delete again?) And with one of my service providers they seem to insist on always making me listen to my OLD messages first before I can play the unheard ones (WTF?!?) I'm not sure if T-mobile's is that way but, thanks to Visual Voicemail, I don't even have to find out, I can just press on the message I want to hear and it plays.
Download google voice, and have it handle voice mail.
On my G3 I was able to use the 4GLTE data connection and talk on the phone at the same time. That included using the mobile hotspot while on the phone.
On my G4 I can't do that. I'm on 13B based Pure Experience ROM. Is there a way to enable this on the G4 or am I overlooking something?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Sadly verizon did not include that for us prepaid G4 users. The G4 is one of the new phone breeds that do not include dual antenna or what ever they call it. Meaning if you're not around wifi then you cannot use internet and the phone at the same time. Unless you are a contract user with the option above. I was wondering the same thing a few months back and did a lot of research on it.
I'm not prepaid. I tried enabling the advanced calling. No go. Still not working.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.

You also need to enable advanced calling in your My Verizon account. Add the feature to the phone. That will also enable HD voice, simultaneous voice/data, Video Chat and visual voicemail
Hi. I just chatted with Sprint online asking if the pixel 2 XL that I'm going to receive at the end of this week, and activate on Sprint, will support WiFi calling. They confirmed that it will but could not provide a link to a list of phones that are supported at Sprint. Therefore I have my doubts. I think a lot of times these people who work the chat are "Yesmen", if you know what I mean?
Has anyone here activated their pixel 2 XL on Sprint? Is it wifi calling capable? Thank you.

I don't see a place to turn it on. Activated my 2XL last Wednesday morning. I've looked a few times. And I thought I read either on the Sprint Reddit or the Sprint Community that it's not supported. I can go to settings and search and type in wifi calling and it takes me to the Wi-Fi preferences page but then there's nothing listed.
Edit: See this as well. Still seems pertinent. https://www.reddit.com/r/Sprint/comments/6nqojq/sprint_support_wifi_calling_is_supported_for/

The Wifi calling option is available for T-Mobile. It's under wifi preferences (I find it easier to locate if I search for wifi in settings. )
Thanks for the responses, guys! henderjr, this is what I was afraid of. Thank you both for looking. I'm sort of basing my purchase of this phone on wifi calling so I'm stuck. I can't figure out how Sprint can get away with this....and no simultaneous talk/data, and survive next to the other service providers.
By chance does anyone else on Sprint have the option for wifi calling on their Pixel 2 XL??
I just chatted again and the agent is saying that wifi calling MAY be something that Sprint needs to activate on your account for it to show up. That's sounds weird to me but if you get a chance, you could call Sprint and see if they will turn it on for you. If you do, please report back, henderjr.
Certainly someone has had experience with this?

Then you'll probably need to call Sprint support and get your phone properly provisioned. I've seen some at&t users having to do the same.

Yeah Sprint blames a device and not themselves. I think the main thing is that they'll only support WiFi calling if it's sold in-store, not an unlocked phone.

Is there any way to enable Wi-Fi calling through rooted means? It seems like all we need to do is enable some features.
