Where's Visual Voicemail

We saw the demo, but...
Does anyone know anything about it?
Is it definitely only for Google Voice?
Availability?

All the nexus has is the necessary api hooks. It's up to the carriers to make use of said apis and release the apps.
Verizon has one in the android market, but it costs an additional $2.99/mth.

T-Mobile also has a visual voicemail app, but it will charge you a monthly fee as well. I use Voice, works great.

Google Voice? Are your voicemails showing up in your Phone app/Call log? Based on the Oct intro in October, it looked like it was supposed to (with Google Voice).
I had a VM left the other day to my Google Voice number and it shows up in the GV app itself, but not my Phone app/Call log. How about you?

Same. Funny that Google built the visual voicemail API then didn't even use it themselves .

I don't think I've received a voicemail since I've had a GNex to be honest. If I have I haven't seen it in the call log. Didn't know it was suppose to.
What I did notice is that it started showing missed calls under the call log and Google voice when a VM was left.

I don't think the GV app has been updated for ICS yet. Once it has it should use the new API.

AT&T VVM.apk
I attached AT&T Visual Voicemail .apk for anyone with knowledge or skills to advise if it is even possible to get it to work for GSM GNxS on AT&T with a Skyrocket provisioned SIM for LTE 4G data that includes Visual Voicemail feature in plan already.

Google Voice
Has anyone gotten google voice to take the voice mail on Verizon? When I set it up GV told me that my carrier didn't support that feature

Dial *71###-###-#### (replace the pounds with your Google voice number) it will act like its making a call for a second or two then stop. Also make sure you have Google voice selected in your system settings.

If you side load Verizon VVM do you still need to pay $3 a month?

That was the initial message I also got. Keep trying and it will stick. Got my Google voicemail all set up and running like a champ. No additional charges!

Verizon only? Whatever that does it doesn't do anything on my GNex except get me to the operator saying I may have dialed a wrong #.

Even with correct permissions it returns package can not be installed. Side load attempted via Root Explore. Not tried changing build.prop device id and such to spoof Skyrocket. Maybe we need additional files or VVM is part of the Skyrocket's phone dialer or some bloatware. I'm just fishing and really have no idea :/

Google voice definitely works on the GNex verizon. I restored mine from my last phone so i didnt need to do the setup but it should do a wizard when you start it to get it working.

[Q] ATT No Visual Voicemail ? SOLVED

How come my att gs3 doesnt have visual voicemail but my uncles sprint variant does?

It's not called Visual Voicemail. It's part of your AT&T messaging app. Not messaging but AT&T Messaging.

screenshot of myatt app with the visual voicemail app...perhaps whatever plan you have already included it

Visual voicemail is free..meaning you can see the list of your voicemails and listen to them just like on an iPhone. Visual voicemail with text is 3.99..this is the one that transcribes it to text. Just use Google voice...It does the same thing and is free.

I don't like that my phone vibrates it has no text talk anymore.How do I switch my native text message To be the default?

I switched to the S3 from an iPhone and I was looking for the same thing. I downloaded the Visual Voicemail app but it wouldn't connect. I got on a chat with an ATT rep and they told me it wouldn't cost extra but I would have to switch to a different data plan that includes visual voicemail.... Which meant I would have to leave my unlimited plan that we were grandfathered in on. So basically they are using it as a way to get people off of the unlimited plan as well.
My response was, "hahahaha, i'll deal with it or sign up for youmail"

Thats what they told me when I first tried too. I gave up and just use Google Voice

OK .I called att. They had me uninstall att messages .Install att visual voice mail. Problem solved.

I use Google voice as well. But I had to go to the Google voice site and type in a code before I got it working 100 percent.
The automatic setup didn't work.

So you got it to successfully let you switch from provider to google voice for your voicemail? How? I have tried all the options with no success.

I've been down this road with at&t so many times on this issue. It's an easy fix but most at their support don't know how.
Here's a much better solution. Just read the Thread below to fix the installation problem.
It's a must have product.
Switch to Google Voice. Visual Voicemail on steroids. It's a must have product.
If interested go to Google Voice and set up an account, as then download from the Market.
However, please read the thread provided below before installation. There's a known problem setting up the call forwarding numbers that has nothing to do with the GS3 and it's not a big deal.
Here's the easiest solution.
To get Google voice to work you must first download it from the play store. Then run it. It will tell you that it can't change your forward numbers. The go on your browser and goto the Google voice website (make sure you hit menu and request desktop site). On the site look for settings. (Somewhere in the top right. Then choose to set up your phone. Choose your carrier and it will give you a number to call. That number will change your forwarding numbers for you. Then in the voice app change settings to show voicemail in call log.

So doing it this way will allow me to see voicemails in the call log on my s3? I thought I read that it wasn't possible because of touchwiz framework?

Visual Voicemail app not compatible

To my surprise, the AT&T Visual Voicemail app can't be downloaded from the Play Store (a search for it won't find it). The att.com website does not show the Note 4 in its list of compatible phones (it does show a Note 3).
http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB414957&cv=820#fbid=KukrJc5X464

My Note 4 came with it. Isn't it on yours?

Att visual voicemail doesn't work, but the phone comes preloaded with a different visual voicemail app that is better anyway.

Just download 'PF Voicemail'.. I've used it few years now.

You are so right. I was looking in the AT&T folder and it isn't in there but going to all the apps, there it is: Visual Voicemail.

There's always google voice too.

Visual Voicemail App on Note 4
I've been on the phone with AT&T for an hour. The preloaded Voicemail App on the Note 4 will not let me complete setup. I follow the instructions and it fails to set up and prompts me to try again. Left with not choice but to contact carrier. They've removed into my phone in an attempt to set it up and it fails for them too. Of all the apps I have I love my visual voicemail the most.

if you are so inclined you could always use Google voice for visual voicemail.. that's what I do.. I like transcribed emails for my voicemails.. also comes with a link to the audio file so you can play it back.
And the best part.. you don't necessarily need a third party app.

I don't know if you are still having this problem, but I could not complete setup because I had another app that screens calls installed: Truecaller. I uninstalled it and that allowed Visual Voicemail to finish setup.

My wife has the same problem.
She just got the Note 4 and the AT&T Visual Voicemail does not work.
AT&T Tech support is so dumb and they can't figure it out. AT&T is claiming the app is not compatible anymore - after 2 hours of Troubleshooting LOL.
She had the note 3 before and the at&t VVM app worked before.
Anybody else can help .. maybe a workaround?

There's now a built in visual voicemail app in the app drawer. I think the att app that some of us are used to using on previous phones and notes is now deemed incompatible by att.

Yup I saw that and that too didn't work.
I think there is something wrong with her voicemail. You know when you call your own number it directs you to your voicemail right away? - it doesn't on her for some reason.
On my AT&T phone, its good.
Well, I guess this is definitely looking like an AT&T issue and they cant figure it out.

Call at&t. They will deactivate her voice mail, then turn it back on again. Should reset it completely when that happens.
I had that happen on my once. It is a quick tech support call to fix.

Open the in built voicemail app. Try to enter your password. If it fails. Close app, call voice mall. Enter password. End call Open visual voicemail app again and try to renter password it should work

voice mail on note 4
I am having the same problem. The strange thing is I got my phone when it first came out. I have had my visual voice mail up until 2 weeks ago. I can access it but no one can leave me a message. When anyone calls and I am unavailable they get a message that says I am unavailable at this time please try again later. I called technical support and they reset everything still can not get voice mail to work so they are sending it on and it will be 4 days before anyone will get back to me about the issue.

AT&T Visual Voicemail on the OP3?

Can't seem to find a way to make it work... VZW had an app I used on my Nexus 6 that worked perfectly... is there an AT&T version that I can install and "read" my voicemails?
I hate having to call in and get them like it's 1997... LOL

Tried everything... Got the AT&T app from the Play Store but it won't connect. I have to manually dial into voicemail and listen and retrieve them like I am on a flip phone from the 1990's... Very annoying. There has to be a way to at least download them to my phone like an iPhone does, or actually read them. I would settle for the basic way the iPhone does where I can see a list of what numbers left a message and play them, pause them, delete, etc... without having to dial in old school like...

guys - you can use google voice for your voicemail service instead of AT&T voicemail and get visual voicemail that way, even if you don't intend to ever use your google voice number
this way you can see visual voicemail in the phone app, see your VMs in the hangouts app, see your VMs in the Google Voice app, and/or see your VMs online on your PC on hangouts or the GV website.
I did this for a friend who has Cricket Wireless

You go to the Google voice site

Use hangouts or Google voice app on your phone for visual voicemail

Yeah, you can do it this way but it is a little clunky and not nearly as clean as just using the AT&T app.

Call AT&T. They provision the visual voicemail on iPhones different than other phones. I forgot I had that issue the last time I switched from an iPhone to an Android phone.

No Visual Voicemail?

I purchased an unlocked G8 a week ago, and I'm on the Verizon network. Today I noticed I had a missed call, but no voicemail notification. Then I noticed in the dialer that there isn't a voicemail tab, which I've had on every other unlocked phone I've had. I dialed *86, and sure enough, I had a new voicemail message.
I cannot find anywhere on the phone an option to enable visual voicemail, and a search of the G8 forum turned up nothing. Is there any way to get visual voicemail for this phone?

Just like with just about every carrier, they have apps for that and since your device is an unlocked version you probably don't have it installed. You might be able to find it on apkmirror if you search for Verizon.

Thanks for the reply, and I appreciate you pulling the apk from a stock Verizon phone. I may call them and see if it can be resolved. If not, I presently have Google Voice set up to handle all my voicemail. It isn't my first choice, but at the same time, the option to have a transcription of the voicemail messages emailed to me is really nice, and the fact that it's a free solution is huge.
