Hi all, I'm currently on a GS3 with Verizon and Google Voice integration works well, I. E. Receive calls from GV number as well as using GV for voicemail and transcription (instead of Verizon voicemail).
Are there any gotchas or differences to be aware of in setting up GV with Moto X on AT&T? Or with any phone on AT&T for that matter?
Thanks!

Not really but I would just disable visual voicemail which is preinstalled. Other than that it's no different
No problem for me either. Indeed, you might want to disable/remove/uncheck all AT&T preloaded apps.
Oddly, I see to be having issues with getting Voice to work on my phone. It's not picking up at all as the default voicemail. I've tried uninstalling it and going through the setup again - and the phone still shows that Voice is the voicemail - but the phone will ring forever unless I manually reject the call. Anyone else experiencing this?

Do you have it properly forwarding the call to your google voice number? That needs to be edited in the phone settings.

Yeah, in the phone settings it lists google voice as the voicemail provider.
Just wanted to update - my issue was that when I swapped to this phone, AT&T forgot to enable voicemail to it. So now it's working again.

I had the same issue. I just got off the phone with customer service and they had to put the vm soc back on my account.
Wonder how many other people have the same issue and haven't realized it yet?

Google voice works just fine on my moto x also.
But after 2 years of using google voice; Im finally getting rid of it. Im tired of the MMS headaches. Tired of waiting for google to find a solution.
This may or may not help anyone. But Google voice on all my phones and my nexus 4 worked great for years. Recently my ATT accountgot hhacked and my entire account had to be re provisioned. This defaulted to the newer voicemail service and Googlevoice no longer can register. So instead iI just set all forwarding to my Google voice number and it functions the same way.
Supposedly getting ATT to put me back on the old style voicemail is a difficult task to convincethe reps to do. Take ffor what its worth. This is my nexus 4 too and Google voice just can't register as voicemail for some reason.
Good afternoon,
I thought I'd bounce this one off the community before calling VZ (as we all know what that is like).
My N6 was purchased from Verizon, and it was an upgrade to my line (that had my trusty GNex).
If I don't take a call and they leave a voicemail, the notification appears as follows:
"Voicemails received (below in smaller text) click here to setup visual voice mail"
Ok, I have checked my account online for my line and my wife's, and visual VM is not enabled for either. Nor do I want it at this time.
How might I go about getting a normal VM notification? Am i going to have to have them reset something on the account?
Activation was fine, but just noticed this behaviour.
Thanks ahead of time.

Well, here's my SWAG: I would start by renaming the VVM apk (.bak). Then, maybe the "standard" Google voice mail app will work? NOTE: this is nothing but an untested hypothesis.
VVM isn't installed on the phone ...
im running chroma and want visual voice mail, so I called Verizon and disabled vvm and put on basic, tried setting up google voice no go. figured I had to have vvm turned on so I turned it back on, still didn't work. for the sake of time I disabled vvm again and put it to basic, now im getting the gargled text messages and voice mail notifications idk if itll turn off on its own? maybe it has to process in their system because so many changes?? if I wanted VVM google voice to work is there any easy instructions and should it be set to basic?? it kept saying in setup my account isn't supported when I had it set to google voice.

First, for your issue, from what I've read VVM doesn't play nice with ROM's, need to be stock. I hope I'm incorrect, others likely will chime in ...
I've got the opposite issue, stock N6, not rooted or unlocked yet, and it prompts me to install the VVM app for any VM's I get (bought from VZW), I do not want VVM, and VVM is NOT enabled on my account, never has been.
How might I get my N6 VM notifications to act like I expect, and not an ad for VVM?
i know you can uninstall the Verizon vvm and call them and have it set to basic, I did on my stock phone. but now I want a rom and vvm.

You can't use Verizon VVM on anything but stock. No matter how much you want it.

Turn off enhanced LTE on the phone. On your Verizon account disable HD voice and switch to basic voice mail. Obviously you will lose VoLTE but that's the only way to get regular basic voicemail.

I hate to say I don't know how to turn off enhanced LTE on the N6, however, as far as the account goes, I don't have HD voice turned on, nor VoLTE, which is why this is so annoying.
I was on regular basic Voicemail, until I switched to the N6 as an edge upgrade, and hadn't done anything other than have it activated on my line.

You sure it's not set on your account? They probably set it automatically when you activated the new phone. They were calling it advanced calling 1.0 at one point. On the phone go to settings, More, and then cellular networks. If you don't see enhanced LTE there its because it's off on your account and the phone setting doesn't matter.
IMHO I would never give up VoLTE to get basic voicemail but to each his own.
It's also possible something changed in 5.1 but I thought the plain VM indicator worked briefly for me after the 5.0.1 to 5.1 upgrade before I turned VoLTE on.

Nope, not there, never had advanced calling turned on, I had thought about it for both my wife and I, as she has a GS5, but left it for now settling into the N6...
I wouldn't give up VoLTE either just for the VM, but I hadn't yet pulled the trigger on it yet ...
It's not a deal breaker for me, just annoying as all get out, triggers my OCD which all of us here have in regards to their device hehehe.
I suppose I could call a VZ rep and have them look at the account, but truthfully that always worries me whenever one of them are in there ...
If you have any other suggestions, I'm game to listen ...

If you don't have Advanced Calling turned on then you don't have HD Calling nor VoLTE, they are bundled together. Anyway, no further suggestions but good luck
Just to let you know I have my basic voice mail working and I have advanced calling 1.0 turned on and my HD Calling and VoLTE is working.
I had a lot of trouble with Verizon because they couldn't figure out how to turn the visual voice mail off right. took about 10 phone calls to tech support to get it right.
I was getting the gargled text messages and voice mail notifications just like you.
Don't give up just keep calling back till you get somebody who knows what they are doing!
I knew it wasn't the phone or the sim card, I swapped another sim from a different number and the voice mail worked on the nexus 6.
Good luck!

Thanks to the both of you, I have yet to call them, but figure something is likely borked from the activation of the new phone, for as large as they are I've seen too many botched provisioning issues lately
Don't know when I'll get to it, but I appreciate the input!
Every time i flash the unlocked firmware, it will succeed and go to the android upgrade screen. But once it reaches 32% it says erasing and goes right back to the verizon firmware
I was able to flash the unlocked version on my Verizon Note 8. Which guide are you following? https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/stock-recovery-odin-recovery-software-t3671615 I used this guide by BlueFox721.

Boot in recovery and factory reset then choose boot to bootloader from recovery main menu and flash unlocked firmware...make sure ums/patch is set to 1 in config file and that you are using Prince Comsy's Odin...UMS slot should be empty...bl in bl, ap in ap, cp in cp, csc in csc
This might sound strange (and, yes, I've already searched all the threads to find what I'm looking for, and couldn't find it), but, has anyone successfully flashed the Verizon firmware onto the unlocked US (SM-N950U1) Note 8? If you're wondering why in the world I'd want to do that, it's simple: Visual Voicemail. Here's my problem - I'm a chauffeur, and I rely (partly) on receiving voicemails, as I can't answer the phone when clients are in the limo (as clients get in, I silence my phone). The unlocked Note 8 not only doesn't have Visual Voicemail, but I don't even receive any sort of notification when a voicemail is left. If I don't receive any indication that I have a voicemail, how am I supposed to know? Calling myself every time I drop, so as to check for voicemails, is not a very realistic way of dealing with this. Having read in other forums, I know I'm not the only one miffed about this. Countless others with the unlocked Note 8, S8, & S8+ have discovered this "problem". Since Verizon has been worthless in helping me, I'm starting to think that the only way I'll get voicemail notifications (of any kind) is to flash my unlocked Note 8 with the Verizon firmware...unless someone reading this knows how to get voicemail notifications working. Assistance is requested...anyone?

Unfortunately, with the Galaxy Note 8, these instructions (such as those found at https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-switch-verizon-vvm-to-google-t2151572) don't apply, and won't work. In the phone app's "Settings" menu, there is no "Other Call Options" setting. There is, however, within the phone app's settings, a "VOICEMAIL" category, of which the first two options are "Service provider" and "Voicemail settings". Under "Service provider", the only option is "My carrier"...there is no "Google Voice" option. Under "Voicemail settings", there is one sub-setting, "Voicemail number", which currently has *86 entered. Now, I could easily change that to my Google Voice number, but I'm uncertain as to whether, or not, that would do anything (plus, at least as of my time typing this post, I don't have a way of testing, as my wife is at work). Since, as indicated in step 4 of the directions given (in the above-mentioned link), one must first change the voicemail setting from "My carrier" to "Google Voice", that leads me to believe that this won't work on my unlocked Note 8.
In calling Verizon today, something 'interesting' was discovered. It appears that, when the Verizon customer service person canceled my Premium Visual Voicemail (ie. the monthly $2.99 fee) a week ago, he forgot (within Verizon's internal system) to revert my line's setting from "Visual Voicemail" back to "standard Voicemail". After the customer service person (from today's call) changed that setting, I started receiving standard voicemail notifications. So, at least I've been able to finally get traditional voicemail notifications to work. That being said, I'd STILL like to regain some form of visual voicemail, be it Verizon's (which I'm assuming will be impossible, unless I flash my unlocked Note 8 with the Verizon firmware), or Google Voice's. Since the directions given by Winesnob (again, via the above link) don't appear to work on the Note 8 (because "Google Voice" isn't listed as a voicemail option within the phone's phone app settings), any other suggestions, short of flashing the Verizon firmware?

Take out the Verizon sim when. You are flashing the unlock firmware.. it seems to confuse oidn and the firmware for some reason .. then after you set up the phone just pop the sim in. You should be good to go
Just flash it to the TMO version and use t mobile if possible.?

There should be updated info for Google voice on verizon....For Sprint all I had to do was dial *73mygooglevoicenumber and all was well...I did not mess with the voicemail settings on the phone as it was unnecessary...this just forwards to Google voice...you just need to know the correct "no answer forward" prefix...it used to be *71...leave all other settings alone...then when you get a voicemail phone will forward to Google voice....so if you have to call Verizon tech ask for the *number for no answer forward....then dial it in the phone like you are making a call with your Google voice number...for example, call (dial in phone app) *716235551234 and press the phone button to start the call...the example I used behind the *71 (6235551234) is not a real number and the *71 used to be Verizon's no answer forward prefix...your Google voice number is shown in settings of the Google voice app...

I promised I'd reply back, and I am. Thankfully, it appears that I won't have to flash the Verizon firmware, after all. After canceling my Premium Visual Voicemail with Verizon, I should have started receiving voicemail notifications, to which I'd have to call my own voicemail every time I wanted to listen to voicemails. As I mentioned previously, after my Visual Voicemail was canceled, I still wasn't receiving voicemail notifications. On Friday (10/6), I called Verizon customer service (for a different reason), and during the conversation, and having mentioned the call two weeks earlier, this technician discovered that the previous person had forgotten to switch my line’s voicemail from “visual” to “basic”. Once she did this, I started receiving voicemail notifications.
Of course, what I (still) really wanted was some form of visual voicemail…so, I decided to give Google Voice’s voicemail another shot. I reinstalled Google Voice, redid the GV settings, as well as the settings for my phone’s phone app, and dialed *71 followed by my GV number. I am happy to say that I am now receiving visual voicemail, as well as notifications, and, as such, I won’t have to clutter up my phone with Verizon’s bloatware.

Glad to see it worked
I got unlocked S10e yesterday and when I put my sim in, the phone restarted to get carrier settings. All seems to be working, but I don't have the option in the dialer for VVM and any voicemail comes as a standard(not visual). As a plan B, I downloaded T-Mobile's VVM app and it works. I also have Pixel 2 and it comes with build in VVM

I have been bashing my head against the wall trying to get this figured out as well. I bought the Note 9 U1 (Unlocked) version from BestBuy and flashed the beta version of TMo firmware on it, and built-in VVM worked fine.
Same process on my S10 is not yielding the same results, and it's really frustrating.
I also bought one for my wife, and we still can't use the Chat function in the default SMS app, because I am not going to flash her to the TMo firmware until I make sure VVM will work. TMo's VVM app is like someone started to make an app, then just vomited pink kool aid all over it and called it a day.
I talked to TMo support about it, and they ultimately told me that the only one they can support is the TMo app, not the built in one.
I did this for my note8 I wonder if it'll work for s10

I don't think you can, not unless you flash the TMobile firmware.
Btw... I'm also on TMobile, and I have all unanswered/unreachable calls forwarded to my google voice account (so it effectively is my voice mail).

Do you have o use the google voice app just for your voicemail? Does it transcribe it?
I've always found it odd that someone can use an unlocked phone using a T-Mobile or AT&T sim with MVNOs and they can get VVM or wifi calling, but AT&T and T-Mobile can't give those features to their direct customers. I have an AT&T sim in my unlocked S10 like I did with an unlocked S9 and have an MVNO for my carrier, yet I have always had both wifi calling and visual voicemail. That makes me believe AT&T and T-Mobile can activate these services on an unlocked phone, they just don't want to.

Yes, it does transcribe it. I think TMobile charges you extra for transcription?
The nice thing about Google Voice is that you can also use it as a secondary line, you can check your voicemail via web, and you can set any mobile number you have from any carrier forward to your google voice #, so your voicemails are retained even after switching carriers.
However, unlocked or not, it doesn't integrate with your dialer and you still need separate app for it.
