it came from an email
[email protected]
the 1s being my phone number (with the area code and 1 in front: ex 1 775 123 4567) and the 2s being the number of the person who sent the message and the random being some random combination of numbers and letters
anyone else seeing anything like this? anyone try sending OUT?

Not sure if that's sarcasm or an attempted flame/trolling, but your post isn't very useful.
Last I was informed Google voice doesn't support mms. This message showed up as an actual mms, not an email, but sent from an email address. It was accompanied by an actual email to my Gmail account, but they both had the picture. I've never received an mms to my Google voice before, and they haven't made any announcement anywhere I can find saying its working, so what gives?

It was announced a lil while ago but it was only working for sprint users at the time. Now they just need short code support outside of google.

It has been working for any Sprint user that sends an MMS to a Google Voice number since October. The Sprint user doesn't need to be using Google Voice for it to work.
Also, I'm getting MMS's from Virgin Mobile (which uses Sprint's network) and T-Mobile users as well but they haven't said anything official about it AFAIK. AT&T still doesn't work at all.

Google announced Oct 14 that GV users would be able to receive mms from Sprint users.
googlevoiceblog blogspot com/2011/10/first-steps-towards-mms-support.html
I got an mms from my brother last week and was shocked until I remembered he is on Sprint.
Why is this MMS thing so hard to do? I remember when Apple was going through this with the iPhone a few years back. Was very weird then as now.
Google can't figure out how to send a picture along with the other data?
I really hope they get this working. My phone has trouble recieving MMS messages from iPhone users (my whole family but me), and this would provide a great way to recieve the pictures.

For all AT&T Customser is a long distance call to check your voicemail. Plus when you have nationwide plan you don't get charged long distance.
Does anyone else have any invites for GrandCentral? I was hoping to try this service out. I am trying to choose between YouMail and this one...
So, I've been waiting for months and months, and really would love to use the Google Voice thing on my G1. Never used Grand Central.
The Google people seem way too slow and love to tease
Anyone can help? I'd appreciate very much..
TIA...
As of right now, I've not seen an option to invite folks. I got mine a few days ago via signing up on the Google Voice site. It'd been about a month or two since I had last signed up to test it. I've had numerous folks asking me for an invite, but unlike Gmail, I've not seen an invite feature. Guess you just have to be patient until Google picks you.
I'm a GC/GV beta tester, and one of the option's it shows in the control panel is Tell A Friend. I've never used it, and it's not very descript at all. I don't know if this feature will get you an immediate acct or just have you sign up to be notified whenever it does go out beta. I'll be glad to give it a try if want. Shoot me a private message msg here on XDA with your email address. It's worth a shot I guess.
where are you seeing that?
Been a GC/GV bet bunny since GC popped into existence. Never seen that option to "tell a friend". Maybe I don't really have any friends? Or maybe its new? where are you seeing that, under Settings?
I was one of the first to sign up and I got mine a couple weeks ago, it doesn't appear that I have any invites to share but here is the link from Google.

Yes I did... At least 2 different @gmail addresses... But 4-5 months is a bit long time and kind of frustrating... Esp. it could be very useful for my line of work (if the features they promise are true) plus would make my G1 phone more of what it should be...

I just got my invite on Thursday, applied back in March with a gmail address. I have been using PF Visual Voicemail and it's been great, but the Google service is clearly better for those us running most of our email/phone/messaging lives via Google. Hope you get your invite soon, it's definitely a winner!
Anyone know if a Google branded app will be released soon? The GV app is good, but I'd love to have another option as well.

Now, imagine my absolute joy and relief, that after waiting for it since March (!) I click on the link in that email only to see
"Google Voice is not available in your country.
Thanks for visiting Google Voice. We're not yet open for users outside the US, but are planning to expand our service to additional countries in the future. "

It's been a little over a month since Verizon announced it would unleash the VoIP hounds on select smartphones, an interesting move give AT&T's wrangling with the FCC over Google Voice and begrudging approval of Skype over 3G. Early this morning the Skype Mobile app hit the Android Marketplace for Verizon devices (and only Verizon devices), and while it does work on 3G, it curiously doesn't work on WiFi -- at all. Click on through for some screenshots and our impressions.

Has anyone been having a problem with their text messages. I use GOSMS Pro and haven't had any problems but my wife and kids use Handcent and keep getting Msg 2111 from 9230, saying The receipient you are sending to has chosen not to receive messages. They also get the same msg when trying to send through the stock msg app. I tried to call sprint, waited 20 minutes on line and when they finally pick up, they hang up. That's nothing new, Sprint support sucks ***. If anyone else has had this problem and has been lucky enough to talk to someone through Sprint support and can pass on any info, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
There are some settings online when you login to your sprint account that involve basically blacklisting numbers, maybe it has a setting to only allow certain numbers? I take it this is on all texts? What if you uninstall handcent?
~maybe I set it too high...
I'll take a look but I don't think that has anything to do with it. I thought it wasn't happening on my phone, just my wife and kids but I just tried to send a msg and got the same msg back, so it happens on GOSMS Pro, Handcent, and the stock msging app as well.

On an Sprint HTC TP2. Just talked to my wife. We've been trying to text back and forth all night and we're both getting the same message: the sender is 9230 and the message is "The Recipient you are sending to has chosen not receive messages. Msg 2011." She thought I was mad at her and blocked my texts...lol. I Googled the problem and it seems other sprint users are seeing the same thing.
My wife was mad at me also, ahe thought I blocked her number. It's back up and running for now, we never could get through to sprint, they kept hanging up on both of us after waiting on hold for ridiculous amounts of time, not too pleased about that, I usually atleast get to talk to someone ificall customer or tech support.

It sounds like it was a Sprint issue. My guess it had something to do with google voice. On the help thing, live chat is now way faster than phone. Unless you get the direct number for advanced tech.

I looked on the sprint website and couldn't find a link to live chat anywhere, I thought it used to be in the support section but I had no luck finding it. Thanks for your help.

sprint webchat is in "contact us". The secret number to advanced tech (they change this number frequently afaik) is 877-735-8405, I have another couple that may work as well = 866-639-9565, and 877-809-6696. The first one I just called, direct to a rep, no automated buttons or voice inputs
You may have to call back multiple times before you get someone competent. I worked for Sprint for many years and learned quickly there were some that could help you and some that wouldn't help you. If they're being an idiot just hang up and try again until you get someone cool.
Thanks duce, everytime my wife or I called last night, wait time was around 20 min and when someone answered they would hang up without saying anything at all. This happened about 10x in a row, not happy at all with their support lately. I usually don't have any problem with them, but last night was ridiculous.

wspaw is correct; AT&T hasn't create support for this on Windows Phone. (AT&T documented what is supported on their Support page - sorry, I can't post links right now...new member).
However, if you really need it, there are some third-party providers and apps out there that perform this same function. One for instance has a free (lite) version: MagikMail available on the Marketplace.

Just checking to make sure I understand. By 'Visual Voicemail', do you mean the ability to have a text version of the voicemail sent to you via Messaging?
If so, I have this capability now through Rogers here in Canada. It's an option you request when you sign up for service.

I've always known "Visual Voicemail" as the ability to listen to messages by clicking on them in a list on your phone (almost like songs). It's nice cause you can see all your messages and you never have to call the voicemail service. I had it on my iPhone (telus includes it with most smartphone plans) but I'm not sure how to set it up on WP7.
