[Q] Verizon default voicemail

Hi? Does anyone knows how to edit the default verizon voicemail number? I noticed that even if a dial *86 the display number is different. Is there a way to edit it? In my contacts appear like voicemail but it doesn't give me the options to edit.
Appreciate any help.

If you go into ##program, I remember seeing the number for voicemail section. You should be able to override there.

Have you had any issues with it? I was using it (moderately) then one of my friends claimed it completely messed up his iPhone (on AT&T). Eventually calling him would forward the call to some woman, lol.

as long as you allow GV to do the work, it's nearly impossible to screw up. GV will pull in your GV phone number and perform the VM forwarding command for you. You shouldn't even have to worry if your GV phone number matches what was assigned to you, everything is automatic.

Na. He's actually a real big nerd. But I do believe he messed up and wouldn't take blame, lol.

As long as you take the 10 minutes to set it up, it works great!

I have used it moderately as I said. I just never used it I guess like some others seem to. I just used it so clients I was doing work for could txt me a bunch n not actually blow up my phone. Id stop forwarding and just use the google voice site.

Dial *72 and your home number. To turn it off dial *73.

It's built into your Verizon plan. Something like *72.
Edit: wow I'm too slow

Does that code money or does it just use my minutes or is it minutes plus something
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App

Already included unless you have some weird plan. It will use your minutes as if you were on the cell phone. So nights & weekends + mobile 2 mobile + family & friends should be freeeeeee.
I think I saw an app that handles this for you... but my style has just been to add a contact called ForwardtoHome and set the phone number as the entire string. I also have one called UnforwardtoHome.
Another option that's pretty awesome is Google Voice. Check it out if you don't already know.

I have Google voice but there is not a feature that I know of that forwards to another window

so it look as thought i just added my home phone google voice but the only problem is that when people call my actually cell number that doesn't really get forwarded at all..

Yeah you need to tell everyone you got a new number and distribute your Google Voice number. I did it a year ago and it's awesome! If you set it up properly you can put your google voice number as friends & family and have free calls through google voice.

Cool man yeah I have had one for about year but too many people to distribute to bit the thing I am noticing is that my home phone only ring twice before it goes to voicemail anyway to fix this? ?

Visual voicemail t mobile prepaid

Alright guys. Ran a search and didn't see topic yet (not for T-Mobile anyhow) so I figured I would start one.
I use T-Mobile prepaid. I've not seen a prepaid phone be able to utilize the visual voicemail app on T-Mobile monthly 4g...until now.
I just installed it on my nexus 4 and it works.
And yes... I know Google voice does as well. I use voice but not everyone calls my Google voice number, so I've been wanting to get visual voicemail straight from T-Mobile for a while. I am glad this works now and I hope it helps some of you out.

They don't need to call your Google voice number to leave a message there. You just need to have your phone forward to g voice.

Ya that's crazy! I just downloaded the visual voice-mail app and it actually worked!! This is the first phone that ever let me use my $30 prepaid plan and have vvm... I am thinking that they have no way to tell if you are a prepaid customer so the registration just goes through as if you were not on prepaid..? Anyways that's cool that I don't have to dial out anymore...:good:

Well, that works only if people call your g voice number only. If anyone calls your cell number they just dont get an option to leave a VM at all. In my case a good number of people still call my cell number so that isnt really a good option.

People with the $30 plan actually give that number out? I ported to GV and don't even know my $30 plan number! I let Google Voice handle everything, including message transcription. Called 611 and had them disable my T-Mo voicemail.
Loads better than a carrier branded VVM.

I agree but I had trouble porting my sprint number to Google voice and gave up. I ended up porting my sprint number to T-Mobile so I wouldn't lose it and now can't port my T-Mobile number(old sprint #) to GV. Any ideas? Excuse the off topic please just frustrated...

What is this visual voicemail you speak of? (I'm switching to T-mobile soon) TIA

YES! I've been waiting for others to post about this. I've noticed that mine has been working for about two weeks. I almost cried when I realized it started working. I hope it's not just some flaw in the VVM app update that's allowing us onto it. But one thing I did notice is that MetroPCS offers VVM on their plans of equal value. Maybe T-Mobile is following suit. Btw, I'm on the $60 T-Mobile Monthly4G plan.

The t mobile visual voicemail app. Basically it shows you who your voicemail is from
And allows you to pick and choose which voicemail you want to listen to rather than dialing out and having to listen to all of them.

I also use the T-Mobile VVM app since I'm on prepaid, works just fine, but I don't see why it can't be integrated into the stock phone app.
Can someone on a T-Mobile-based MVNO like StraightTalk or Solavei try the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app and see if it works?

Has anyone used the Nexus 7 as a full blown Mobile

Hi. I was thinking if the Nexus 7 3G would be good as a replacement for my mobile phone. I have seen a few demos on youtube and obviously you would need a bluetooth hands free "In Ear" type, but what about whatsapp, sms messages, emails, etc does all this work well ?. Just interested to hear back from people. I think the battery would drain quick having to have data connected all the time as well as bluetooth for phone calls. Any feed back would be great. Thanks.

There is no way to use as a phone yet, as it cannot receive true mobile calls like a phone can. Read the thread on this in the N7 3g dev section. Sms is working. For whatsapp, look in the themes and apps section of this forum, as there are install instructions. All the info you are looking for is already well documented and readily available right here in the n7 forum.

I just got myself a refurbed N7 on it's way... looking to do similar, but just for wifi.
From what I understand, since google voice and chat can pretty much replace a phone completely on my PC, I assume you should be able to do the same on a N7?
I tried to get google chat to work as a phone on my EEpad trandformer, but for that device there are serious hacks involved to get there.

I was hoping to user my T-Mobile sim with Vonage Mobile until I found out T-Mobile block data for this device (for prepaid sim). I will have to try Go Smart next month to see TMobile also block it through that. I don't want to use Straight Talk due to their throttling.

I use Viber instead of WhatsApp
Since not everyone is happy using non-free apps, I instead use Viber on my N7.
Just as with WhatsApp, you have to go to their website to download the apk, since it is marked as incompatible in the Play Store. Also, you can not have it active on your mobile and your N7 at the same time. Which is the same as with WhatsApp.
I also couple Viber with MightyText, so any regular SMS I get on my mobile, I can respond to on the N7. Of course, I can also send new SMS from the MightyText app on the N7, or from my computer.

Been there, done that.

What is everyone's opinion on how the call quality is using 3g I have good and bad.. a lot of echo problems and such? BC I have thinking of doing this as well but I was considering the n4
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda app-developers app

It depend on the app you use. I use Vonage and I don't get echo issues like with Google Voice's clients.
Also I just sucked it up and go with the T-Mobile Mobile Broadband $35/month for 3.5GB. Will just disable data on my Galaxy Nexus since I only use it to make calls now. But I also found tethering 3G from the Galaxy Nexus to the Nexus 7 with the screen off doesn't use up much battery and can go for hours.

But can't you only call people that have vonage as well? I don't of anybody really that I would that has that... so it wouldn't be effective

I think PlayStore doesn't let you download Vonage on the Nexus 7, you'll have to download it from a phone then sideload it on the Nexus 7.
Using Vonage, can make free outgoing call within USA and Canada, it will use your actual phone number you activate the app with. It however do not receive incoming calls, unless the other side is also using Vonage.
Since the Nexus 7 do not have phone feature, when you activate Vonage on it, don't put in the "mobile number of your Nexus 7 sim card", put in your regular phone number, when you make outgoing calls it will display that number you activate it with to otherside, that way people can call you back to your phone.
Or if you want to receive incoming calls via Google Voice apps, then activate Vonage with your Google Voice number. I find that during activation process, when Vonage tries to sent an SMS text message with activation code to the Google Voice number, nothing will happen, but then you can select the option to receive the code via call, then shortly you will get a voice recording of the code if you log into your Google Voice account.
I like Vonage more because of better call quality and machines will recognize number inputs, which tend to fail through Google Voice's apps. Also Vonage allow free video calls now if both parties use Vonage app, though yet to be updated on iPhone version I think.
PS. You get $1 to your account when you invite someone and they download it through the link.

Google Voice or Skype is very helpful to do the voice message.But for replacing the real phone, maybe we should expect the next generation supports phone calling just like the Asus padfone.

[Q] SMS Bugs in stock app

Hey guys,
I've been having weird issues with my SMS, and I had these problems about halfway through having my EVO 4G LTE. In SMS, some characters, such as _, @, &, and others of this type aren't showing up. They're replaced with a space on received messages. I can see them on sent messages, but the receivers say they arrive as boxes. I also have this issue with emojis. Is this a Sprint problem since it's been a problem with two different phones I've had? And how should I fix this?

Nope..just sent these characters you mentioned to my wifes S3 and another to my friends Evo LTE..They dont show up as boxes..The problem may be on your friends end possibly using a 3rd party messaging client because it's working over here.

I completely agree. I had a previous instance (about two years ago) where calls just wouldn't come through, and texts would come really late unless through their app. I had to disable it then, too. I like Google Voice a lot, but it's so buggy.

Just confirming, I sent above characters to 15 recipients and all received them in readable form. I also could see them when sent back to me.
