[Q] is there a way to use carrier voicemail and google voice?

I love getting google voice transcriptions sent via text message but being that I have a limited days plan with att (250 mb) I'd still like to use carrier voicemail to listen to the message in order to save valuable data usage. Is this possible?

You can call your Google voice number and listen to it like the normal one so you are using minutes and not data

Just make sure you don't look at the transcript on your Google voice app first. Once the voicemail is marked as read, you can't listen to it on the phone call. Once you update your voicemail preferences, the voicemail key on your dial pad will call Google voice instead of att.

Call Controlling

Anyone know of an app that will allow me to play messages to callers based on the person who is calling? I want to play a "number disconnected" message to only selected people so that they think my number is deconed. I want all callers to come through.
I have found Call Blocking apps but they just drop the calls. Another app plays the same .mps file to all callers. The only app I have found to do both is only available in China.
I am rooted and ready to install.
Thanks.

Youmail works good for that

If you use google voice. Go to Google voice on your PC and set up your greetings for a specific person or group In your settings.

Anyone you block in Google Voice will hear a very official sounding disconnected message. This, of course, assumes the unwanted caller is calling your Google Voice number.

Outgoing call blocker

Can you guys suggest me a free outgoing call blocker for my phone? I need it specially for the accidentally dialled numbers by kids.

Separate voicemail for unknown callers

Is there someway to set up a separate voicemail mailbox for incoming calls originating from hidden numbers? "Hi, this phone is not capable of receiving calls from hidden or unknown numbers, change your settings and call again please". Preferably completely automatic and so that the phone don't even ring.

You need third party application for that
Root call blocker is one of the best.
Though you need to send it to your operator voice mail. like symbian android is not capable of using own system voice mail box. Above said application can send define call to define action (block/silent/voice mail divert etc)

I'm not rooted. Use stock and intend to do so. No solution for stock users?

You may find call blocker for non rooted on market, but this application I told you is the best, even worth to root

Are you sure that you entered your google voice number properly in the forwarding options? I had trouble for the first few hours, but called T-mobile and they checked the forwarding settings... now it works properly.
In the call log, you will see only a missed call. The message itself will only show up in your gmail list, and the browser version of google voice... I think.? There is also a stand-alone .apk app for gVoice, available in the play store]

I am sure ebbed it right as it works just fine for calls. But in a 4.1 I believe they added the option to have your vm show up in the call log to listen to only. This worked fine on my n4. And the option is selected in the stand alone app.

I'm having some strange issues with GV on my Z1S. Just switched to T-Mobile last week and immediately made GV my voicemail. I removed my number from the website and re-added it, went through the prompts, and got the forwarding working. Now, I have 2 strange issues:
1. All the time the phantom voicemail icon will appear on my phone. I force quit "phone" (the app) and it goes away, but it'll show up sometime tomorrow or when I reboot my phone or something.
2. The GV voicemail seems to work intermittently (may have some effect on #1). Meaning, someone will call me and tell me they left a message, but the message is no where to be found. My theory is the forwarding didn't kick in, the message went to T-Mobile voicemail, and the phantom icon appeared. However, I can't yet confirm that.
Anyone dealing with either of these issues?
Is there a way to check my T-Mo voicemail after I've set everything up with google voice?
Thanks.

Same issues am having. For number 1 i am going to try and reset my number from the website.
For number 2 I just disabled the option to see vm in the call log.
The Phantom vm is tmobile picking up and then GV taking over so essentially a vm on each. It's annoying
