[Q] T-Mobile wont allow me to forward my voicemail to Google Voice

So due to the plan I'm under with T-Mobile (Pre-Paid Plus) they won't allow me to forward my voicemail to go to my Google Voice. Does anyone know if there's a "workaround" that?
Anyone who can help me hack this out I'll be forever in your debt.
Thanks guys!

To answer your question -
NO.
The end.

Just checking.. The Google Voice app dials the code to transfer voicemail to your gvoice numer on initial setup/settings, did that fail too?

Yeah that also failed. :\
Thanks Britoso

Right this is a common limitation of man providers with pre paid plans. To monitor and control minutes the forwarding for calls is locked into carrier voicemail and unable to be changed.
From first hand I have seen crickt, att, and t-mobile have this issue
If you want a different voicemail you will need to be on a full regular plan.

That makes sense, thanks M9.

AT&T Visual Voicemail

can anyone please upload their Visual Voicemail app for AT&T? I bought a Galaxy S2 and cannot seem to find the default visual voicemail app in the marketplace (probably because my phone is from Europe and is not recognized by the american marketplace)
thanks in advance =]
---------
In a related note: I went to my local AT&T store to see if they could get it working for me, but they supposedly said that google removed visual voicemail apps from the marketplace. WTF?

Doesn't belong in the dev section.
As for an answer, I've never had Visual Voicemail on my phone. I thought that was iPhone exclusive.

I've never had visual voicemail from at&t either. I do however use google voice for my voicemail and I like that a lot better than the iphones visual voice as it transcribes the message too.

Have you tried google it first?
Visual Voicemail is currently available for BlackBerry® Bold™ smartphone users*.

As has been mentioned, it isn't available for Droid. There are alternate options.
Also as has been mentioned, this IS NOT A DEV concern. This is the very reason they put a minimum post count cap on posting in the DEV section. Apparently they must have gone back and changed it.

Send this to General...
And download Google Voice. It is vastly superior to that dinosaur VVM...

I posted this in the dev section because I was planning on porting the app over to the SGS2
anyway, I remember seeïng the visual voicemail app a long time ago on some Tmobile devices; I'm new, i thought it was still around

I use Youmail. Its great!!

YouMail
Try YouMail. It works great.

Google Voice.
You can use your current phone number and have visual voicemail.
Go to google.com/voice on your computer to set it up, then get the app.

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.

I'm not on the same carrier but I failed to get it to work properly with mine I could get notifications and call I'd but no actual message.

For t-mobile this has been "broken" for months.
From the web it seems that T-Mobile dropped support for the built in visual voicemail. You have to use their app and well it doesn't work ever for me. It doesn't sync, or notifies, and constantly throws error saying we can't access voicemail please dial voicemail instead.
This just means my voicemail is now never ever checked.

Sign up for a Google voice. Set the phone calls to forward to the number if you are not available. Use it for voicemail. It will transcribe and email them to you.
Att's app sucks also. I miss my built in from Windows mobile 10 and this was the next best things.

Question Unlocked T-Mo VM issues

All,
Got an unlocked S21U, ported from VZW to T-Mo, installed the T-Mo voicemail app, but I keep getting a VM notification from the app AND the phone dialer itself. I don't see any way to mute it. Am I missing something? Can't see a way to fix it.
Any ideas what I am "missing" by not having T Mo firmware?
Thanks

Sorry, yes, I did and it works, but now I get two notifications for each voicemail, one from the phone, and one from the TMo VVM app.

Are all of the voicemails deleted from the visual voicemail app? If so, i would call T-Mobile next .

Alas I do not have the option to silence the native phone dialer voicemail

Ever since I disabled the Samsung Phone app, visual voicemail hasn't worked at all for me. I have to dial my own phone number to access my voicemail the old-school way... It kinda stinks, but I just hated the Samsung phone app for its lack of calling over LTE whereas Google Phone still worked fine with calls over LTE (and had my blocked number list saved from when I had the Pixel prior to this phone).

I forward my calls if not answered to google voice which transcribes my VM so I have native visual voicemail instead of paying tmo for their version of vvm
