I have Google Voice installed on the phone, it shows the voice mail in text message no problem, so it is working. But how do I add or change the greeting ? Right now if you call my phone it just says something like this Google phone subscriber is not available.
Thank you.

You can do it on your computer buy going to http://voice.google.com or, DIAL THE GOOGLE VOICE number, not your real cell phone number.

If you install Google voice app I think it gives you a notification... for me .. it sends me an email, a text message and the google voice app notifies me
Kind of redundant but well is cool

yep the google voice app works REALLY well on these phones and does provide notifications for google voice events. it also gives you the option so that when you make an outgoing call it asks you if you wanna use google voice or regular number which comes in handy. Highly recommended that you download it if you have GV
I have it installed but i figured i could just shut off the freq check by google voice to some high number so it doesnt affect the battery. And just set a notification for the text message i get.
Yea it is awesome, can't wait until they release it for another languages .. I Laugh so hard when someone leaves me voice mail in Spanish, it translates to this
Hello, My name is that. Can't wait to avoid some accessible. Depending Anselmo, so get the i'm going to put it. Yeah. Anyway, yeah, hope that the cleaning the only thing that some of them and coming up with this month and Hey baby. I'm. Anyways, we had to bye bye.

I went to google.com/voice from my computer and from there you can turn off the email and text notifications so that you only get a notification from the google voice app.

It's not just spanish. My english translations are mindboggling, to say the least. This was one from the HR director from a cell phone company, calling re: a job offer they put out to me.
Jordan, this is why I found. Again, sorry to. I just noticed that it. It appears that you didn't Memphis celery. I can send a resume to the firing manager and everything we need to do that is that it and then tooth and if you you and we they'd he decides to selected for this position so that East dangerous give us permission to do that for me. You should be able to see it in email. Give me a call. Let me know that you are able to complete that progress. My number is (redacted). Thank shoes.
great idea to start this thread. installed gv and all setup. regarding the notifications: set gv to notify via SMS 'cause don't want an email. From a battery perspective and quickest notification is it best to let the notification only come to gv app or is SMS quicker? Just want one notifcation as soon as there's a message. Thxs

How do I get the voicemails from people who call my regular cell number to show up un my google voice thing?
naw you can't do that... give your gv to everyone if you don't want to check both the "messages" and the "voice" inboxes...it works out though...e.g., i give my gv number to everyone but my family so the gv inbox stays uncluttered...
yes, its very easily done.
In your Google Voice settings you can add your phone number to the account. You can then 'attach' that phone number (your original) to the google voice number just for voice messages. If you are using sprint there is a specific link in google voice that will send you the number you need to dial in your phone. Once you do that it will be set up. You then just go into your Call Settings and set Google Voice as your voicemail provider.
Done and working here...
Awesome worked great. Thanks so much
ooops misread and thought you were talking about sms !
Edit: actually you can forward those from GV to regular inbox, not the other way around though...
how do i change my voicemail greeting though?
I don't like it when i call and I hear "thanks for calling a google voice mail user" blah blah ...

Why don't you go looking around in your settings and read up on some of the features of google voice?
One of the nicer things you can do is have different greetings for different people or groups of people.
You can do some other pretty cool stuff if you get a google voice number and start using that as your main number.
if you record your name,,, she will say "someonesomewhere" is not available but if you record a totally different greeting then you'll just replace her entirely...
i changed the greeting for the google number..
but when I call my sprint number i get that google message as well....
dmitrian ..I am going to try that right now..thanks!
Hello it seems Google Voice is not compatible with the Bionic. Is there a manual work around? I remember reading a while back a way to do this with the thunderbolt. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It says: unfortunately your carrier is not supported for automatic voicemail configuration. To use google voice as your voicemail provider, please visit the google voice help center more more information.
I got that error message too, but the voice mail does in fact work ok.
The problem I am having is that my google voice number is not showing as the calling number, even though it is set to be. I have tried changing the settings to ask each time, and it does not ask. It is still not working after rebooting too.

Just go to the google voice site on a computer and enter your phone number manually in the google voice settings on the website. It is a very self explanatory process once there. After that, go into your wireless network settings on your bionic and change the Voicemail settings from "my carrier" to "google voice." Not sure where this is on motoblur, but just look around and you should find it. If you get an error message or it freezes, do a reboot, go into the settings again and verify google voice is selected in the Voicemail settings. You should be okay after this.

Thanks for your help gotta it!
So caller id still shows my actual phone number and not my google voice number even when it is configured to do so. Any one else have this problem?
That error came at the point (for me) where it should automatically insert *71###-###-#### (*71 + your google number) in to the dialer to forward missed calls. So I did it manually and GVoice has worked fine for me. I did get one FC, but not sure if it was because of debloat or actual GVoice app. Other than that I have made calls, recieved Vmails and texts through GVoice just fine.

seems be working now, thanks
After installing Hyperdrive Note 3 on my phone, everything has worked except for 1 issue. I am unable to check my voicemail. After I downloaded the AT&T voicemail App, it asks me to call my voicemail, which I get this recorded message "Hi Scott, Scott is unavailable to come to the phone right now, please leave a message after the beep." This is on my own mobile phone. Even if I just call my voicemail, I get the same message. I have no idea what to do.
Did you install Google voice?
Open settings-device-call, and scroll down to voicemail. Make sure it says "my carrier" and not Google voice. Also check the number stored there.

Anyone here on DOK2 also a Google voice user?
I am having a strange issue when trying to "Call with google voice".
The call start during the prompt where you choose whether to "call with google voice" or "call without google voice" instead of waiting till you choose one of the options.
Because of this it always calls without google voice.
To all DOK2 Google voice users, your feedback is valuable.
Maybe you should update to Google Hangouts. It works perfectly for both texts and calls. I haven't touched Google Voice since I started using Hangouts.

Oh yeah dude, 100%. When you log in with your Google account, it will automatically use the Google Voice number associated with that account. And you can do text and group messaging, mms, video hangouts, and voip calls all through the one app.

Yeah Google voice # plus hangouts is a great combo.
I can confirm, it dials straight out with your carrier number no matter what option you choose. Hopefully there will be a fix.

Use hangouts dialer. It will call out from Google voice numbers. I use it every day. On newest DOK build.

I understand that. I have a voip pbx server setup. I would like to use the minutes which are allotted to me each month. Using Hangouts doesn't help with that.
I appreciate the reply, I'm just confirming that there is an issue.

R u calling over seas? Using hangouts with a google voice number, has unlimited calling between USA, Canada, and Mexico.
Unless you are running a call center I don't see the need for the pbx server setup anymore.
Using hangouts limits me to just my cell phone. All the extensions in my home are setup with voip.
have some problem too here is a work around for now. https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/voice/7v4o62rCRfI;context-place=starred
T-Mobile - Note 4/5/Edge - Update to 5.1.1 - Error on outgoing calls with Google Voice by setarcoS Dec 1
ADD A REPLY
Original Post: I'm on a Samsung Note 4 that was just upgraded to 5.1.1, and now when I attempt to make outgoing calls, I get "call not sent" and the call automatically gets made with my regular carrier number. I am still able to send/receive text messages, and check on voicemail's.
I tried rebooting, clearing the app cache/data, removing the sim, changing networks and nothing - the same error "call not sent" keeps appearing.
I've been using google voice for many years now since invites went out and never had this issue when changing phones.
Need help figuring out what is going on.
Device: Samsung Note 4
OS: Android 5.1.1
Network: T-mobile network
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Devices affected: Note 4, Edge, Galaxy S5, Note 5
Status: Waiting for a fix.
Work around #1: Connect through Google Voice (via Sheelendra Singh)
Dial your GV number
Hit the asterisk (*) key when the GV greeting comes on (skip this if you set your phone to go directly to voicemail access)
Enter your PIN, then pound (#)
Press 2 to place a call
Enter the phone number followed by pound (#)
Work Around #2: Dial through Hangouts
On your Android device, open the Hangouts Dialer app .
Type the person's name or phone number, and select them from the search results. Or to dial a number, touch the dial pad icon Dial pad icon at the bottom of the screen. Then dial the phone number you'd like to call, and touch the phone icon .
Work Around #3: Dial through web browser on phone (via Nick the greek 123)
1. Go to Web browser on your phone
2. Go to https://voice.google.com and sign in
3. Use the dial key pad provided.
4. When you dial the number google voice will call you first from your google number, answer it to connect to the number you dialed.
Work Around #4: Force calls through (via Steven McDonnough)
1. GoogleVoice has to be set to "Always Ask"
2. You have to set "Power Button" to end calls (Settings -> Personalization -> Accessibility -> Answering and ending calls -> End calls by Pressing the Power key)
3. Once you place the call, immediately hit the POWER BUTTON THEN quickly hit "Use GV". That will end the direct dial from your phone AND enable the GoogleVoice dialer.
Things you can do to help:
Contact T-Mobile and help make them aware of what is going on.
- Ask to be transferred to "tech support department."
- Explain the issue and tell them there is already an existing ticket for this known issue.
For all who call support and they ask you to uninstall, reinstall, factory reset, clear cache, etc. Don't bother. It won't help. These are irrational, standard support scripts used when they don't nearly understand the cause nor the solution.
Log into https://voice.google.com and use the "Send Feedback" link at the bottom left of the page" to help make them aware of what is going on.
Contact Samsung support and help make them aware of what is going on.
If you contact T-Mobile, Samsung, or Google Voice, be sure to mention this thread:

PaulisHere contacted T-Mobile and filed a report regarding the issue. They recommended everyone with the same issue contact them and mention this reference number to add them to the ticket: 745440721951644352 (my t-mobile rep couldn't find the ticket as they are normally 10 digits long)
I contacted T-Mobile and they said they are working with Samsung and Google (Android OS I presume) and are hoping for a patch/fix within 7-10 business days.

I also have this problem. I don't like having to use the hangouts dialer, but, it's what I have to do for now.
I called Tmo biz class support and as expected they were useless and are pointing fingers at Samsung and GV.
I called Samsung support and as expected they were useless and are pointing fingers at GV.
Contacting Google's support is harder than shouting into a black hole.
Anyone else have any idea about this?
I notice that TEKXodus has the a new dialer that is video calling capable and Google voice works properly.
