So I've been searching for awhile now
with no luck. Does anyone know of an app
for the Fuze that can do what you see in
the iphone commercial, where you can search through
your voicemails and choose which one to
listen to. I found a couple that read wav
files from your email, and promise something similar,
but my voicemail doesn't get sent to my email.
if anyone knows of an app that will do that for
my cell phone voicemail, that would solve the problem
AT&T does this for the Iphone, so what's the big deal?
why not the fuze, or windows mobile devices
in general?
I use a mix of callwave and mail2web, which has an exchange server. Callwave forwards my voicemail to my email, and the email get's pushed on to my phone. It's the only thing available (that I'm aware of), that will do any sort of visual voicemail on anything that's not an iphone. I even set a separate sound notification for the outlook email, using watchflag
check out youmail. kind of like mentioned above, as u can just have ur voicemail forwarded to email and pushed to ur phone. it has a LOAD of other options such as callertones for each caller and transcription. which used to be free, but has recently changed since coming out of beta. pretty much everything else is free and great to use.
Do any of these allow an actuall wav. or audio file of the voicemail to be sent to me via. an attachment to an email, that can then be checked from my phone. I found a program that scans my email for wav. and audio files and then displayes and allows me to play them just like the Iphone. problem is I can't seem to find a way to have my voicemail sent to my email. I signed up for a youmail account, and I gotta say I like the notification options and being able to check my voicemail online, but it still doesn't actually get the audio to my email, which is kinda what I'm hoping for. Not a huge deal just more convenient. also it's one more thing to be like "iphone, oh ya look at my phone". ok that's kinda cheesy, but you get the point. You kinda get tired of seeing all the fluff about the Iphone when I can do everything and more with my Fuze. I'd like to see AT&T just make this service avaliable to the rest of the smartphones they sell. not just the Iphone, but I'm sure apple made some sort of stipulation, for At&t's exclusivity to the ibone sales.
youmail does send an email with a wav- just check the options. Check this out also: http://www.ppcmobility.com/forums/showthread.php?t=426
both youmail and callwave send mp3 or wav files to your email. they both transcribe text as well. so you can receive your voice mail through both text and email.
what i love the most is, they both send out a notification even if a voicemail is not left. so if you dont have signal for what ever reason (when im on the subway to and from work) you can still be aware of who called.
when used with mail2web or any exchange account with push....visual voice mail seems bland.
MessageSling will also send audio files to your email, free.
phone Fusion
Maybe you need to take a look at phonefusion voicemail plus
It works same as iphone visual voicemail plus more functions.
also it is free
bad news, they only have voicemail number for US.
Thanks all. I appreciate all the help. I did try phonefusion, but didn't like that it didn't sync with my contacts. I actually ended up using a combination of youmail which I have send me an email to my new web2mail address, and then I have that pushed to my fuze, where web2mail is setup as an exchange server. Better than any visual voicemail i've found yet as it actually has caller ID built in. where I don't even need to have the person in my contacts and it tells me who it is. As a bonus I am testing out mvisualvoicemail as friendly interface to view all of them together.
Wouldn't it be easier to just answer your phone? (utter sarcasm)

Is phone Fusion free??? And is it "safe", by that I mean is it's security/ privacy safe? From what I understand, when using it you no longer use ATT's voicemail. You forward unanswered calls to phonefusion, but is it reliable? Or could they or other people hear your messages?

Regarding you question i honestly dont know.... i rarely have voicemails at all and if i do i am not worried about its security. It would be illegal for them to listen to you voicemails...unless of course there is something in the agreement...which i did not read . lol sorry i can not be any help.
and yes its free
Double posted somehow, sorry
Phone Fusion Voicemail Plus is 100% free.
As far as safe, it is stored on their servers, so they COULD listen to it I suppose, but so could AT&T on their own servers if they wanted to....
No normal people can't hear your voicemail. You have to log in to the site to listen to your vm's, or you listen to it from your phone. So unless someone's accessing your phone without you knowing, (like a snooping g/f or b/f) you're good.
The program is pretty sweet btw. I'd DEFINITELY recommend it to anyone who wants a Visual Voicemail type display.
I just tested Fusion Voicemail Plus. It plays through WMP and through the speaker. It would be nice to have one application that would play through the earpiece.
For Voicemail usage like the one on the iPhone (Voicemail stored on an IMAP Server), I suggest you to try Clementine Visual Voice Mail created by flap

Hey, ive tried Phone Fusion and all i get is a black screen, even when activated, what am I doing wrong?
Is there an application the integrates google voice as it does in Android
There's two Google Voice apps on the marketplace that I've seen - GoVoce (£2.49) and GV Companion (£Free)

Since you already have the paid version. How well is it integrated ? looks like you still need to go in the app to make outgoing calls via google voice. does it share the contacts from the phone or do you have the transfer your contact book to google voice online ?
Go voice is very nice. But I don't think o can use it as phone Vmail.

Bottom line, you're not going to get google voice integration like it is in Android.
That said, GoVoice is a solid application.
It can access your phone's contact list and from the dialer part of the application and you can choose to text or call the person you selected from your contacts list.
You can also carry on threaded text conversations from your google voice inbox via GoVoice.
The only downside is that you don't get notifications from the App when you get a new SMS or voicemail. You can work around those limitations using google voice settings, though..
i.e. you can have it forward your SMS messages to your actual nuimber and you can reply to texts from the native SMS app and have it come from your google voice number to the recipient and you can have Google sms you or e-mail you when you get a voicemail from somebody.
It's not ideal.. but if you want ideal as far as Google Voice support, Android is the only real answer. Perhaps later the developer will be able to set information for live tiles so you can keep track that way.

Thanks for the detailed answer looking forward to seeing next version from the developers
GoVoice is slow and laggy. No push notification as mentioned. can't make calls out still. I have sent the developer an email stating such. There is a way that he sets up a certain number to use to not be charged the international calls. Not a good work around. I did pay for it.
I hope that Google Voice makes it way to the Marketplace. I use it to dial out to China, El Salvador and Vietnam. Comes in really handy.
GV companion is not in the marketplace. He is currently working on it. I think that will be a better app.

Really we can not make any outgoing calls using this APP then it is useless.

I wish I could say the same thing. But if you look at the preview beta video of the GV companion it has so much more functionality. It has been over 35 days since he has tweeted. I am wondering what is happening with the final WP7. I sent a tweet to him and an email. I hope to hear from him soon.
U can use gvoice as default Vmail! Enter gvoice in phone settings.

The google voice app for the ipod touch natively detects that the device is not a phone and so you can't directly make call with it. Instead you can dial a number and the app will then initiate a call to the phone number that you have linked to the account and then call the number that you dialed in google voice. I need to make my nook color do the same thing. It doesn't work that way though. Instead it gives you an error and it force closes. I am using phiremod 5.3. Any help is appreciated
I also use Google Voice to do texting - wish I could get GV to work on the nook as well.
can you text using GV on the nook color?
You can text with it, yes.
-m
I do text with it using Google voice. I use my google voice number as my business number. I text people all day using my nook. It works pretty well (I actually wish that I could use handcent to text while still using my GV number, but that is another issue entirely). Occasionally though, I would like to call some of the people that I am texting. So I either have to call them with my normal cell phone and just type in their number, but this way they get my cell number on their Caller ID and so they don't know that I am calling them, or I have to do the whole process of dialing my GV number and going through the prompts to enter in the number I want to call.
All I want to do is click on a number in Google Voice and have it call my cell phone and connect through google voice automatically. Right now my only option is to use the web-based interface to do this. Even though this is exactly what the ipod touch google voice app does. (I totally know that the ipod touch OS and android are obviously way different things, I am just saying). I would think that there would be a way to work around this. If not, google should make it so that there is the option of having GV call my cell number to initiate the call.
Being relativley new to the NC . How would one use this for a call. Is there a way to get voice into the unit? I am interseted if it can work but everything i have read so far does not show voice capability.
Any feed back would be appreciated.

if you ever use google voice a lot you will understand the question. no you can't talk through the nook using google voice. to do that requires a "full" voip like Skype. he wants to use the nook as a fancy dialer.
As for me i've just been using the web interface which is slow and buggy

Some people have mentioned waiting to see if the Visual Voice mail from the SGSii on from Sprint will be a possibility
If you want the same functionality use google voice and DO NOT integrate your number. Go through the normal gv setup and then it basically acts just like vvm did

Nope, and that was a setting that could be changes @ google.com/voice anyway
You have to set up Google voice using sprint #, then wait 15 mins
Then Google to Google voice on your laptop browser and deactivate your sprint # to go back to your regular Google voice #
Then you should be able to go back to phone and use Google voice only for voicemail

Just install and set up google voice DO NOT INTEGRATE the tick the box for voicemail ONLY if that is all you want to do for now. I was very hesitant to do this and finally did, it works perfectly and you also get free voice mail transcriptions to text as well.

Outside of the GV recommendations given here...
I think you're going to find that the answer is no. The Nexus series on Sprint has the voice mail routed through a different server than regular Sprint phones, and thus renders the Sprint Visual Voicemail app useless. You will find that it will install, and you can open it, but it will find no voice mail from the server.
I wish I had a link to prove this as it comes up often, but either a Sprint Tech or some smart member of this community (or some other android community) explained it all once.
Give Google Voice a shot....

Yes, I ran into these same issues with the Epic and the EVO when using AOSP roms (Cyanogenmod, MIUI, etc). This is probably the same issue on the Nexus S because is uses AOSP firmware. What ends up happening here is that the vm app installs, but it does not configure correctly to download voicemail. The solution I found on another thread worked perfectly on the Epic/EVO, and should work fine on the nexus. If it doesn't, let me know, I'm curious (im on gv so i dont use the app anymore). Here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982966
I was so excited, but I couldn't get it to work. I read, re read, and tried to follow directions, usually very good at it, but couldn't find any of this on Titanium Backup as they kept discussing. I looked through everything, even tried step 10, could not get anything to work after loading the .apk. It kept
trying to verify everything and just had wheels spinning.
It does show an email pack in the notifications, but since I just upgraded from CM7 to 2.3.7, don't know if this is the new notification or part of the visual
voicemail that remains on my phone.
You had my hopes up, good info, but didn't work for me.
One of the features of the Moto X that I've been looking forward to most is the Assist app, which can - among other things - read text messages to you while you're driving. However I'm a Google Voice user, and I'm not sure if that feature integrates with Voice, or if it will only work with messages received through the standard messaging app on the phone.
Does anyone know if these two play nice together?
Not out of box
Ok so Assist has no options to tell it what messaging app to read from. So, it does not integrate with Voice. However, if you have enabled the feature which sends messages to you regular app from Voice then it should read them. However, I imagine that you probably do not have it set up this way.
Until someone comes up with a Voice+ option for stock Android it probably won't work.
tl;dt No.
I think google has lost interest in Google Voice. I can see it coming up on the chopping block in the future. They already got a treasure trove of voicemails to train their voice recognition technology on, so they no longer have anything interesting to gain from supporting the service. Like Google Reader (RIP), it is a very useful service that has no way of generating real revenue for Google.
The lack of MMS support is already killing it for me. Once the iphone started sending all multiple-recipient texts as MMS, it meant I would miss important messages (with no notification that I missed it and no notification to the sender that I never got it). This wasn't a big deal when it meant I missed silly photos from people's camera phones, but now I miss real messages.
Now they are releasing fancy new features like Assist, that don't even work with Voice.
I wonder if there is a way to swap my phone numbers. Can I move my GV number to my AT&T account and my AT&T number to google voice? I like my GV number better, and it is local to my city, but a lot of people still use my "real" number due to both the MMS issue and the fact that I only got GV in 2009.
Disappointing, but not totally unexpected. Oh well. Thanks for checking!

I have no inside knowledge, but chances are Google Voice is not going away in the near future. In fact, they are integrating it with Hangouts. There is a war waging over control over the means of users messaging and there is no way Google is going to just give that up.

Google might own Motorola but that doesn't mean that Motorola IS Google. This is Moto's feature and I don't even see why they would have integrated it with Voice honestly.

You can port your number out of Google Voice just like you can port numbers into it.
