You can use Wifi to activate voicemail. I have the same app on my Evo.
Also, try updating your data profile. Go to Settings -> System Updates -> Update Profile. See if that fixes it for you afterwards.

Ive tried via wifi but i will attempt once more...

i enabled wifi, updated my profile, rebooted. launched voicemail and am receiving the same error. there is a delay in setting up your voicemail. your message will be sent as soon as this step is complete.
there has to be something i am missing on the device side...i can access my mailbox by calling in. this makes me thing, its device side...
any solution is greatly appreciated...in getting the sprint vm to work.
or i can delete sprint_core.apk and be done with it and its 5mb running process.
please and thank you

If you really want visual voicemail and don't care if it's Sprint or not, download Google Voice and activate voicemail on it. You need a Google account (it's free). It's nice because you can manage your voicemail online. You can download it, archive it, forward it, etc. Works just as well, if not better. You can set different greetings for different people, etc. Give it a try.

i tried this too
http://www.evo4gforum.net/troubleshooting-htc-evo-4g/visual-voicemail-isnt-working/
that wont work. just tells me that there are messages waiting to be delivered when i compose and attempt to send them.

I had a similar problem... what seemed to work to me was to press menu in VVM and compose a message to [email protected]. Make sure you have either wifi or 3g enabled and make the message over 25 seconds. Idk why your original activation message is not sending but this may help fix your problem.
edit... i just saw that you already tried this so the only other thing i can think of is to try to take it to a sprint store

it needs to be over 25 seconds?? i tried that method but not that duration...it just seems to me that the vvm app is not sending the activation messages...any messages.

ive got it rooted and junk, i really dont want to reset this thing to deal with those...'people that dont know', for lack of a better term.
there has to be a way to fix this. i just tried sending a longer message to [email protected] tells me there are two messages awaiting delivery.

Don't know if you are aware, but Sprint recently updated the VVM software to version T.5.1.0.48 (here in TX it was updated the last week of October). Note that Sprint CSR will not be able to help you reset it unless you are on a Sense ROM. Period.
Two options to fix on your non-Sense ROM... there is an updated .apk floating around on these boards (might need to PM someone for it). Get it and install via your file manager.
Or...
Other way is to nandroid your current ROM, then flash a Sense ROM like Fresh's most current. Then, update your PRL and Profile, then go into the VVM and press Menu and update Sprint VVM.
Then, either try to nandroid back to your original ROM and check to see if that does it (haven't tried that, but it might work)... or else... yes, you will need to pull the updated com.coremobility.app.vnotes from the Sense ROM and install the pulled .apk into your new ROM.
Hope this helps.

I have an idea. Try calling 408-970-0000 from your cell phone. It may ask you if you would like to receive sms voice messages. when i call from my phone it says "our records indicate that you are calling from an sms voice messaging enabled phone. if you would like to stop receiving messages press 2" If you changed from a phone that did not support this feature it may ask if you would like to receive messages instead. I am not sure if this will work but it is worth a try

none of this is working. in fact, I called that number and seemingly disabled the feature and there is no option to reenable.

well i did the same and i accidentally disabled but then re-enabled by sending another activation message to the visual voice-mail activation address. if that still does not work p.m me and i will send you the most recent version of VVM and you can flash it to your phone. if that still does not work you may just have to use Google Voice. it is free and i have used it before when i could not get sprint vvm installed and it works great.

i have the latest version. I attempt to click retry sending all and it tells me there is a delay in setting up my voicemail. Your message will be sent as soon as this step is complete.
ill take the latest version that you have...im willing to try anything. this is a new device and it wouldnt configure even on day one, before I rooted and rom'd it.

Well, i got it.
I thought, 'there has to be a reason Im not receiving these messages.'
I had 9016 included in the 'blocked texts' list. at sprint.com in my account. So my vvm wouldnt send me messages(i had a dozen sitting in there when i called) and I was unable to compose and send.
I removed 9016 from the blocked text list and tested. It worked. Then I added 9016 to the list, and it DID NOT work.
Days of frustration, something so simple.
Thank you, everyone, for your patience and assistance.

Fix
I deleted all the Sprint VM apk's and flashed the attached zip. No more stupid update notification!
EDIT - Opps, posted in wrong thread, but if you have that annoying Mandatory Update Notification, this should clear it.

"well i did the same and i accidentally disabled but then re-enabled by sending another activation message to the visual voice-mail activation address. if that still does not work p.m me and i will send you the most recent version of VVM and you can flash it to your phone. if that still does not work you may just have to use Google Voice. it is free and i have used it before when i could not get sprint vvm installed and it works great."
Could anyone tell me what the visual voice mail activation address is? I've made this same mistake and can't seem to figure out how to re-enable the 9016 text messages and thus re-enable my visual voice mail. Thanks!

Disregard my last post...I figured it out:
what seemed to work to me was to press menu in VVM and compose a message to [email protected]

Google Voice Sync Problem?

Has anyone seen this?
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=3fb63afd955884d8&hl=en
I have searched and tried all of the solutions, but I can't seem to get Google Voice to synchronize anymore.
Anyone have more info?
Anyone? (bump)
I'm having the same issue and no luck yet in figuring it out
I hoped that the 0.25 release yesterday would fix it, but it did not.

I had to downgrade
After installing cm4.2.1, I had to downgrade my Google Voice. The current one isn't working. But I am far too much of a noob to know why...
Cyanogen 4.22 fixed this issue.
anyone have issues wit stayin connected to gvoice?
i always have to sign out and sign bacc in when i exit out the program.. it stay open but when i try to send a message i get "failure to send sms" so i have to sign out and re due it everytime.. them all my text come in.. any solutions? i already did the caller id thing still nothin and updated to the new gvoice from market and it made it even more worse.. thanks!
im running cyan4.2.2 and GV works... however i havent had any "new" voicemails to try out. I guess I could do it myself haha.
Anyway, it wasnt working - the syncing - and then i uninstalled and reinstalled GV and it worked again.
I do have a problem where new voicemails would never show up even if i had refresh on for 5 mins and an exclusion on it in Advanced Task Manager. Again, havent checked this out yet on the new version of Cyan and GV .25

Cure for no Sprint VVM notification problem...

Ok... just tried this... and it worked. I had went on Sprint's website to block the annoying "9016" sms messages, and used the blacklist. It was fine at first, but out of the blue, I stopped getting my VVM notifications. Out of desperation, I went back and un-blocked 9016 in my account, and viola! VVM works again... Hopefully this will help others.
I downloaded super private conversation and added that # in my list. I still get the texts, I just don't get the notification and the messages are moved to another inbox. Maybe that's why I haven't had problems?

Yes, that's exactly why you haven't had problems. You MUST receive the 9016 texts one way or another in order for VVM to get the signal to download the voicemail.

[Q] unable to send or receive texts

If anyone wants a Google music beta invite, i have a few and would happily give you one if you could help me solve this problem!
After having problems with my touch screen i took the phone into sprint and they replaced the touch screen and key panel, however now, I am unable to send or receive text messages. I do not receive any errors upon sending and i have tried updating PRL, Profile, done a hard reset, flashed different roms, etc. I have a feeling it has something to do with Google voice interfering with the messaging apps. I have uninstalled Google voice but to no avail.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
BTW I am running Cyanogen mod 7 R.C.1
Update:
I just installed google voice and a slew of text messages came back, however i still can not get them to appear in my messaging app. The people at sprint arent very helpful so im turning to you guys at XDA. Any input would be greatly appreciated
Anybody got any ideas?
Well I'd just sync ur Gmail account and just start over cuz u can go In circles with this....
Factory reset and reflash cm7 and it's gapps....
Do not do any titanium back cuz ur problem will follow u..
Then it all works make sure u back it up before u add anything to it so u have a solid base backup to go to.
Good luck

I would call Sprint and tell them that you Installed GoogleVoice and now your VoiceMail is all Messed up! I know VoiceMail isn't your problem but I Guaranty GoogleVoice is your problem Effecting All your Messages!
I recently had to do Exactly what I'm suggesting! They'll be able to see from their end that the Sprint VoiceMail has been Changed, Tell them to Switch you Back to the Sprint VoiceMail as your Default!

Google Voice Issues

Hey Guys,
Has anyone managed to get Google Voice to work on the S5? On every other phone that I've had, and it's been a lot in the last year, I always just install the app, run through configuration and it's fine. On the S5, I simply can't get it to work.
I only use Google Voice for my voicemails. I don't make or receive calls with my Google Voice number. Every time I run through the setup it gives me an error and then says if I want to change providers or something like that. If I hit yes, it fails. If I hit no, my Google Voice voicemail doesn't work.
Any ideas? I went to the Google Voice website and deleted my phone and added it again with no success. What is going wrong?
Thanks!

you probably need to re-forward VM to GV. My S5 kept giving me an error when I tired to do it via the app, so I manually forwarded to my GV# via..
*004*xxx-xxx-xxxx# (where xxx-xxx-xxxx is your Google Voice phone number) then Press Call
PS: I'm not certain if you need to, but I set up my AT&T voicemail before I forwarded to GV,
I guess I got lucky -- I ran through the GV setup via the app and it worked perfectly the first time. I kept having issues when trying to set it up on my mothers S4...had to eventually reboot her phone and change it manually in settings. For my S5, it worked fine the first run through.
I also set up AT&T visual voicemail before GV. I did this just to double-check if my old voicemails were still there.

Text to 1121611611

I have had a strange thing happen occassionally when I reboot my phone. it has happened after restoring to stock using ODIN - it has also happened when flashing a custom ROM,
When the phone boots up I see an error message saying something about a text message could not be sent - to use a valid short code or ten digit number - when I look at waht number it was being sent to - the number is 1121611611
It is very strange - I wasn't sending a text message when this happens - it just happens when the phone reboots - and not all the time - just occasionally -
I am using an ATT SIM Card on a TMOBILE PHONE - and when I did a GOOGLE search for that number - I saw mentions of APPLE phones having issues and something about people on Verizon phones -
If I try to send text messages - no problem - everything works fine.
Does anyone know anything about this and what if anything can I do to make it stop happening?
Very strange indeed....
How to stop this
No responses to my question yestreday - did a little more reseach and while I still don't know WHY it happens - I think the fix for this (in case anyone in the future has this problem and comes accross this thread) is to just send a valid text number to any one in your phone book - say hi to somone you know - just send a real text message that is to a working number - apparently once you send a real text message to someone - this stops and won't happen anymore.
To be honest the whole thing is weird to me - I wish I knew why it happens - but for what it;'s worth - since I sent a text message yesterday after seeing this error message - the error message has stopped.
Im having the exact same issue.. im using tmobile n4 on att network. I tried sending a text to sum1 in my contacts but on reboot i got the same message again from 121611611. Anyone got a solution???
That weird: 112 that is universal emergency number in all gsm phones and 611 is provider service call center

It's the T-mobile visual voicemail app. I'm on AT&T with the T-mobile Note4 and had this problem as well. With root, you'll need to delete the app from System/App and System/priv-app. Updates might be in Data/App too.
Basically nuke any copies of the T-mob VVM apk and you'll stop getting these messages.

thank you so much. i dont have a note 4 i have a tmobile lg g3 on at&t network and after restoring my stock backup i was getting this invalid text going out after every reboot. i treat my phone like my computer so i reboot it every day. this invalid text is really annoying. after trying your suggestion i no longer get this stupid invalid text message. instead of deleting the visual voicemail app i just decided to freeze it and that worked. thank you again.

Thank You, thank you that mess was getting hella annoying..
In the body of the message you will note a short message code of 64743. What I did to stop receiving texts was to send 'STOP' to 64743 using my normal SMS application.
I received verification the service was stopped and haven't gotten the error +1121611611 message since.

I tried a restart this morning and the message came back.
What I have done so far is rooted the phone with towelroot, installed ES file manager and removed both MetroPcs visual voice mail apps. The message still comes back after a restart.
I'll try this method next.

Rooting the phone, installing ES File Explorer and removing all visual voice mail references fixed the issue. It was a little different on my LG F6 than just removing the files from system/.... but the basic idea was the same.
