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.

I just got Visual Voicemail for the first time, and now I heard about "youmail"
who has experience with it? Which is better in your opinions? Discuss.
I'd like to know what hero ROM you're on (TAG?) -.- anyway, visual voicemail. Been around longer. If you have gv the voicemail provided by that is far superior to any voicemail app in the market.
I've tried both, and they seem to work well on the surface. However, I never liked them and preferred T-Mobile's voicemail, even if you do have to dial into it.
From my experience, Visual Voicemail ran better, but Youmail is more updated and is a much bigger company. Youmail has services you have to pay for, as for VV, I don't recall.
I do agree though, Google Voice's voicemail works amazingly.
I have been using youmail and its really good
I u end up wanting to cancel the VV service it's a little involved. I canceled mine 2 months ago, then recently out of the blue i kept getting email notifications that my box was full. Once you are fully out of the system thats it. Youmail on the other unsubscribing is a matter of changing your settings. As well they keep your acct should you change your mind, no starting over from scratch.
Ironically enough, I just setup a Google Voice acct today. All i can say is Google is doing doing it big with that one. You should explore that option as well. You wont be disappointed.
I use YouMail on JACHero 2.7.3 and it works perfectly.
I've never had an issue with it. I pay for the Pro/Transcribing as well ($3.99/mo) - since I can't use GV for my main number. The major difference between GV Voicemail and YouMail is that you can customize greetings for different people and GV is free.
I love doing specific greetings.
Just wanted to let those that don't know.... T-Mobile now has visual voicemail... switch your data plan to the new t-mobile android service (same price, extra perks like sherpa works correctly and visual voicemail)
Then download the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app.... pretty cool... now i think we have everything the iphone has with all the customizability. lol...
Already posted in the apps section.
so i just set up google voice today finally but i have some questions that i couldn't find the answers too easily online and i figured this was probably the best place to ask.
First off, is there anyway to choose certain people to always call using google voice?
and secondly, this one applies more to t-mobile, are calls through my phone using google voice count as minutes on my plan? because i'm hoping to use google voice so i can get on a cheaper voice plan.
thanks and sorry for the n00bish questions

Choosing which contacts to use GV for requires a 3rd party app thru the Market. GV doesnt seem to have a native selector. Voice Choice is pretty nice.
And using GV does take from the minutes, especially on T-Mobile unless you have the old MyFaves plan. Sprint, Verizon, & AT&T all have a plan where you may call unlimited to certain numbers and adding your GV number to it (usually) works. But T-Mo no longer offers MyFaves to newer subscribers.
If you want to reduce your call loads, there is another option for T-Mo, AT&T, & GSM users... Vonage over WiFi calling is a free app in the Market, and it does work fairly well. There is a CDMA version of Vonage, but thats for Verizon, Sprint, & Cricket, and it doesnt offer the WiFi calling.

very nice app there, a little expensive for a small function.
Right now i'm on myfaves but i'll be leaving it soon to go onto a family plan and i was hoping this would work like that.
With it not working like that, almost makes me wonder what the point is lol.
guess i'll give vonage a shot.
Try "Google Voice Callback" on the Market. You can set it up to set certain people to always be called via GV. You can also set it up to detect when you make a call and prompt you to use GV. When you choose to make a GV call, the app calls you and the person you're calling via GV (your phone will ring and then you answer which initiates the call). This way no minutes are used.
There's a free version and a paid version which are identical. The paid one is just there so you can make an easy donation.
If you want free incoming calls, you'll need to download and setup Sipdroid which is a little more complex since you need to find a SIP provider (I use Sipgate).
Hi,
One of the features i miss from my iphone is visual voicemail...
I know there's a way to get google voice visual voicemail to work with your phone, but google voice doesn't work in Canada...
I have a Bell i9000 unlocked to Fido, does anyone know if there's a way i could get visual voicemail on my sgs???
Thanks
Sorry i only know of google voice which is so much better. I dont miss "visual VM" at all.
Only wishing for a better Exchange email client and improved copy&paste (guess that is what 2.3 will bring).

There's a service called "hullomail" which gives you visual voicemail, but it's not available in Canada yet. hullomail.com
If you have inclusive long-distance calling to the US (I can't remember whether Fido offer that or not - it's a while since I used Fido) then you might find you can make it work for you.
I have heard that sprint visual voicemail works on the nexus on ics can anyone help
I have got the vtt-sprint.apk installed it and updated prl and prolfile on wifi and 3g/4g and still cant get the activation message to go through.
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

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
