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.

I have the verizon tab, and i don't particularly want to pay for a TXT message plan, but want to send the occasional txt message to my girlfriend
is there a worth while messaging program or should i just put a 250 message plan on my tab?
Hi,
Try WhatsApp from the Market for free, it use data to send text massage and its very quick, like BBM on Blackberry. Your girlfriend will need the same app on her phone.
This app is also available free for Apple, Nokia and Blackberry.
Use Google Voice . It have free text and voice mail .
or you could just email her number using whatever carriers text address.

VVM on Sprint Network
I hate to be the bearer of bad news. First, VVM does work, but in order to get it to work you must completely switch to Google Voice. To do this, from any computer that you are logged into with your google account, visit google.com/voice and completely set that up. It will ask you to pick a new telephone number and it will walk you through setting up the voicemail box and all that.
Once you have all that set up it will allow you to forward calls to your cell. I recommend this rather than switching completely to Google Voice.
You can further, once you've completed this, from within your Sprint Account, choose to use strictly Google Voice but this will mean you will either forfeit the new number you just chose, or the one you have on your phone.
If you choose to keep your original number that was on th ephone first, it will migrate to your Google Voice box and your call forwarding will become a hardwired thing... Google will no longer forward calls to another number, but rather all calls to your cell number will forward to your device through hardware routing performed solely at the discretion of Google.
Sprint will, in a sense, no longer have any control over your call routing. It really makes for a total disaster to get problems resolved if you ever experience call routing issues.
In my opinion, this is an awful lot to go through, too large of a chance for errors and a royal pain in the neck to go through just for visual voicemail.
I have the closest thing possible set up... I use the number I assigned to my Google Voice box, and I set up forwarding to my phone(it's nice because I can also answer calls from my computer if I want, and if I ever change carriers I keep the number on my Google Voice box and simply set it back up to forward to another cell phone number on another carrier).
If someone calls my google voice number, it automatically forwards to my cell. If I do not answer, it reverts back to my Google Voice box voicemail and if the caller leaves a message it records it for me, transcribes it and both text's it to me and leaves a copy of the transcript in my gmail box for me for later review. It also attaches the recording to the email. Very nice feature.
So, now, I only hand out my Google Voice number and nobody ever knows my actual cell phone number. Very private if you ask me, that, and if I ever terminate my service with my cell carrier, I still have the number I give to every one and can answer it from my Gmail box. No cell phone required. I never miss calls...
There are other options with Google Voice I did not discuss here, but you will figure that out. Message me if you have any other questions. Also click thanks on my post to help me become an active member if you think this helps.

I have had google voice before but i wanted to get the native sprint app working. I have hear that sprint routes the nexus voicemail to a different server so it was never meant to work. but i have heard ppl having it work on GB but i just moved over to ICS and was attempting to get it to work but I can't get the activation message to send
Can you send me the apk so I can have a try at it?

Voicemail Routing
Working for AT&T, I do know that voicemail routing is going to be your only issue. If a customer has Visual Voicemail, the feature needs to be provisioned as such and, yes, the voicemail repository server is located in a different place on different hardware. Provisioning VVM at AT&T also required that the data feature be provisioned differently. There is data for smart phones with and without vvm attached.
So, if you do not have the visual voicemail feature provisioned on your account with sprint that is the reason you are unable to successfully configure the app. The basic voicemail servers can not handle the VVM. In most cases VVM is free for smart phones, but with sprint, I doubt that to be the case.
I am satisfied with the Google Voice operation and the added layers of security it provides.
heh...clean simple and no hassles -> Go to Market and type in YouMail, download and install, follow prompts through the simple and easy setup, enjoy your new VVM
NS4G: NexusMV 4G 03.01 (Baked in Matr1x) + 1460MHz/1460MHz SmartassV2 & CWM Touch Recovery
I'm gonna call sprint to have them provision my account and try to activate vvm
Spoke with sprint they setup everything on their side and verified it and my activation message still won't go thru I I might be the apk. I tried the gb apk but it fc when I try to send
They are saying its a phone based routing problem (blaming ICS) because it works in gb and they cite a flaw in the ICS VVM API
Its a sad song
Here you go guys, enjoy.

Google Voice Visual Voicemail Integrated Into Stock Dialer
After a while of trying to tamper with Sprint's visual voicemail, I found that it was just easier to go with Google Voice. The new integration with ICS makes it even better.
I don't think sprint vvm is supported on the nexus

Hope this helps out.
So I learned that OK Google Now will only send and read texts and emails through the native messaging and gmail apps, respectively. The problem, as noted in another thread, was that I use Google Voice and Exchange for those purposes, which takes some of the WOW out of the Moto X.
I'm now looking for a work-around.
Does anyone know of a way to route my GV texts (I don't have a texting plan on AT&T and have texting blocked) and my Exchange emails through the native messaging and gmail apps?
BTW, I tried selecting Receive Texts Through the Messaging App in the GV Settings--Sync and Notification, but it didn't seem to work.
I would appreciate any ideas on this.
Thanks in advance.
hmm... i think i catch on to what you're trying to do... but as of date, i think Sprint is the only carrier with FULL GV integration.
sorry.. kinda SOL on that one since you blocked SMS.
but if SMS was active through your ATT account, i currently am using 8sms to send/receive texts and OKGN works fully well with it.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I don't want to pay for texting with AT&T.
I guess I am SOL for now. Though I'm hopeful one of the xda wizards will come up with something.
I'd been using Google voice as my voicemail service for some time now, but decided to actually give the built in app a try. On my wife's Note 4 it has the option to transcribe voicemail to text, but my S6 does not.
Is this due to having some other ATT bloat app frozen? Or did they take that option away on their flagship device?
I believe this is due to a different 'visual voicemail' app being associated with your wife's phone.
ATT has a separate voicemail app that does transcribing of voicemail's, but if I'm not mistaken it's a paid service unless on a specific phone. (link to app)
I've attempted to use the app from the play store, but I cannot get it to sync with my account. It always says my pin is invalid, despite it being correct.
