I recently got rid of my cell plan and I am using textfree. I set it as my default but it still tries to go through verizon when I use google assistant. Is there a way to bypass that dialer for my textfree one? Same with text.

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
NS4G: NexusMV 4G 03.01 (Baked in Matr1x) + 1460MHz/1460MHz SmartassV2 & CWM Touch Recovery
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

Hope this helps out.
Has anyone been able to get Google Voice to work on their phones? I have the 64gb Dev Edition and for some reason it keeps failing during setup. Any ideas?
I got it to work eventually (T-Mobile edition HTC One) but it took some effort; first, I would try deleting your forwarding phone number from Google Voice's website, uninstalling the app/clearing data, and then adding the number back on the web page. Then check the box to enable call forwarding/voicemail service and it will give you the number to dial on your phone; do that, and it should set up the voicemail successfully (it will still say "Carrier" under your call settings, changing it to the Google Voice option never works for me). Then I would reinstall the app and set it up again. Hope that helps; it's kind of a pain but it worked for me. Although I would add that for whatever reason it stopped working and I had to repeat this process later on. So it's kind of hit and miss, at least on T-Mobile.
right now gV is going through changes. since google actually wants to hack gV away and intergrate the functions into google hangout. so those using the gV tunneling method to be on 30$ prepaid 4g plans might be SOL for a bit. while google works this **** out. not sure though might have to get one of these guys to confirm.

Are you trying to set it up to be your voice mail provider? If so, I've successfully set my phone up, but I wasn't able to do it through using the in app method. I had to manually set it up so it send calls to Google Voice.
If you go to settings > Call > Call forwarding > Then set the options to:
Always forward: Disabled
Forward when busy: My Google Voice #
Forward when unanswered: My Google Voice #
Forward when unreachable: My Google Voice #
Also, you might notice there is an option to change your Voicemail service after selecting Call from the setting menu. I left this alone... My phone has that option currently set to My carrier.
In the end, these settings forward any calls that come in to your Google Voice number just like it would if you were able to get through the set up using the in-app feature.

Fixed *kind of* using this method.
I tried the method in the 2nd post but it still didn't work so all I ended up doing was changing my "Carrier Voice Mail" number to my Google Voice number.
Settings/Call/Voicemail Settings/Changed number to Google voice number.
And now it works fine!
Thanks for all the help guys.

Glad you got it working!
Anyone know how to get past the voicemail settings option when setting up Google Voice on Null23?
It gets to the carrier settings and crashes the app every time, even is you choose to skip the settings.
Google voice thinks the Gear is a phone, on a tablet it doesn't ask you any of those questions because
it thinks the device is not voice enabled.
Thanks

anyone know how to disable/remove the voicemail app and replace it with google voice?
My experience is you cannot disable the Sprint voicemail.
So, I just installed Google Voice and use that instead. I see that the Sprint Voicemail is still running, but all my calls go to Google Voice. So it's a bit of a waste of memory by forcing me to run the Sprint Voicemail instead of just disabling, but I don't see any way around that until our phones get root.
Anyone else know how to force an app to be disabled? Only some default apps seem to let you disable, and Sprint Voicemail doesn't seem to be one of them.
Do you only need instructions to forward vm to google voice /hangouts?

Debloater will let you disable system files.
Yes I'm can't seem to figure out how to use Google voice for my voicemail
Load voice and hangouts. If voice is already loaded, clear the cache and data.
Launch voice, select the proper username for voice. Select no incoming or outgoing calls. You will then get a gray config box. If it doesn't launch your dialer, finish the install then open the dialer. Enter *28 and your google voice number (ie *285555555555) and press send. You will hear two quick dial tones. This forwards calls that are not picked up and routes to voice. From a desktop go to voice.goole.com. Press the sprocket. Select the option to forward all messages to email (not text).
Back on phone, disable all notifications in voice (as Google Voice redirects data to hangouts). If you don't disable, you will get dual notifications. Run hangouts, set your notifications. Disable calls from hangouts to ring the phone, unless you want that.
Once everything is groovy, hide icon for Sprint voicemail if you are not rooted.
I had no issues at all just enabling google voice as always. No Sprint voicemail at all.
If you use google voice and don't want it fully integrated with your sprint number then be careful. Just skip any integration stuff when you first run it. Then it will give you a phone number to call to forward your voicemail to google voice.
While some might like the full integration I prefer to be able to switch between using my cell number or my google voice number on the fly.
Is there anyway to change the stock dialer from default and make something else like google voice the default?
Yes, just install the Dialer you want from Play Store and you can change the default application in the Settings.
Google Phone/Dialer does not seem to be available for 3T though, at least is blocked for me.
That will not work. Even if you disable the stock dialer it will still open when you get a call
