Okay, so T-Mobile USA "upgraded" their voicemail system yesterday. Aside from having to auto-enroll 5 times so far and create new passwords, the biggest change is that they no longer send a text message to notify of a new voicemail. On most handsets from other manufacturers, there is some kind of icon or notification when you get VM (my girlfriend's Nokia 3650 has a little icon that turns on.) I can't find anything similar on the PDA2K - nothing seems to happen when I receive a voicemail.
Has anyone else on USA T-Mobile figured out how to tell when they have a new voicemail? I've been missing my VM notifications all day and increasing the delay in returning phone calls.
Thanks!

phone t-mob?
most probably a problem on T-Mobile's end in that the notifications aren't getting sent to your phone to tell it u have a voicemail. The Blue Angel does have a voicemail icon... I'd give them a call and they'll probably sort you out with a SIM update for it.

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.`
i rarely get my vvm notifications and have to see if i have a missed call to check it manually. has anyone had this problem on stock? thanks
Anybody else having issues with visual voicemail not working until you refresh the app? I get a vm notification from the device saying new voicemail on sim 1 or sim 2 but it doesnt transfer automatically to the visual voicemail app.
How did you get visual voicemail to even work?
It may not appeal to you, but I switched to Google voice some years ago , and have had a better experience ever since. Even if just for now, you might set it up until T-Mobile visual voicemail is fixed...
shouldn't have to use google voice. i guess ill contact at&t about it. it must have something to due with the dual sim on the device.

This happens to me even on my Nexus. Haven't found a fix yet.

I could never get the AT&T VM app to register on 3.1.2 or 3.1.3, but it seems to be working fine on 3.2. Very odd and possibly fluke, but it's working for me.
Hi. for anybody that is using Google Voice as their voicemail on Verizon Pixel 2 XL, are you getting double notifications? This is what is happening to me when a voicemail is left.

Why not just use Verizon visual voicemail? Works much better and is only 2 bucks a month

No need to pay extra for that when normally Google voice works perfectly. It was working fine with my pixel xl

I have yet to receive a voicemail since setting up my Pixel 2 XL, but I did start getting double notifications a week or so ago on my original Pixel XL.

It doesn't work better for my needs. It's a substantial step down actually. I can funnel multiple numbers to Google Voice as well as have different voicemail greetings for different callers along with great access to messages via the web and other devices.
I have a brand new Pixel 2 XL (Unlocked on AT&T). I've been using Google Voice for Voicemail (Google Voice "Lite") for years with no problems (OG HTC EVO 4G, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 5, Nexus 6P) . However, when trying to use it with my new Pixel 2 XL I not only get the double voicemail notification per the OP - BUT also my custom notification sound for Voicemail that I set will not sound despite it "sticking" in the GV Settings listing. My Voicemail Notification insists on playing my "Default" sound and also plays it twice (double)! I have tried to fix this by rebooting the phone, disabling Hangouts/Hangout Dialer, changing Voicemail Settings in the Phone (Dialer) App, all to no avail. I have never ported my number to Google Voice. Can someone PLEASE test and see if a custom sound (WAV File) works as a GV Lite Voicemail Notification? Any Double Notification? Any ideas for a fix? A bug in the GV App? Any ideas? Thanks!

I want to say this may be something to do with the GV app. I'm seeing the same behavior on an N6 since the last(? ) update.

I'm also having the double notification , the app itself is showing me to notifications
Annoying
I'm getting the double notification too on my new Pixel 2 XL. Anyone figure out if there's something we can do or just have to wait for another app update?
Same here. Double notifications, was driving me crazy. Glad to know I'm not alone. Bad to know this has been an issue for sometime!

I think you want to know if it works on a pixel xl2, but I can tell you that it works on an N6 [emoji6]
