Make sure you get a rep that knows what they are doing. The first rep told me it wasnt available for the Lumia 900. I then asked for her supervisor and finally the account was provisioned properly. VVM is outstanding.

Did cellular data work for you before the re-provisioning? I am 0 for 3 and will take my phone into the store for the fourth attempt.

You shouldn't have to change the APN, but some have experienced this, in which case you can add the apn "ptn" to your settings and give the phone a restart. Should work after that.
My VVM on my lumia 900 is great! Just called voicemail and went into setup. After I hung up, the voicemail tab installed automatically.

Thanks for the tip! I just set it up with Youmail and installed MagikMail Lite. It works great. Now with Google Voice (for SMS) and now Youmail, I am almost untethered from AT&T featured services .
Cheers

Magicmail was buggy for me. Plus the AT&T VVM you can listen to on speaker or your earpiece.
The other nice thing about the native VVM is that you get lock screen notifications of pending messages.

I'm assuming this is AT&T?
We can't get visual voicemail with Rogers as far as I know.
Plus, I think VVM would have a hard chance to beat my current voicemail system. (Exchange UM)

Since AT&T is mentioned like three times in this thread I assume it's safe to say they're talking about AT&T.
Though Exchange UM is nice, there's something to be said about VVM integrated at the phone level with the phone. I preferred iPhone VVM over Exchange UM.
Speaking with Rogers - no one has said to me that it isn't available, though we've tried a few times to get it to work with no success. It's possible they may not know how/ have the proper plans to enable it. I recently got the "Specialty Smart Phone" value pack put on the phone which contains VVM, but that didn't get it working either. We'll see whether or not I can get it working properly, and if not there's always MagikMail.
I called Rogers Tech Support for VVM and they could not help either .. said its not available on Lumia 900
Thnx for tip

Since I've had my phone (approx. 1.5 years), I've basically just gone without any voicemail service. The reason being, I'm using an unlocked T-Mobile GS3 (T999) on an AT&T service plan. My stock T-Mobile Visual Voicemail didn't work (as I recall), so I never bothered.
Now, however, I would like to have voicemail set up, and I'm pretty lost. I'm sure I'm just making it harder than it is, but I'd rather be sure. Can I just download any basic Visual Voicemail app from the play store and be good to go? If so, any recommendations?
For the record, I'm running CyanogenMod 11 m10
I think you have to call t-mobile and get it set up to work with their vvm.

Can anyone get voicemaill to work on Verizon on their 5x? I just get a garbled text message when a voicemail comes in. There is a nexus visual voicemail app but it hangs on authentication when going into it. I guess I can call Verizon and have them switch back to regular dial in voicemail.....
Since the 5X isn't registered on Verizon's network, my guess is visual voicemail isn't going to work.

I've got a thread going about this issue, didn't see this old thread. I've spoken to level 2 tech support, basically we have to wait for an updated voicemail app like the previous nexus had to have.
As a temporary workaround I've setup Google voice to handle my voicemails and it works quite well.

Did you have to do anything manual to set up Google Voice for VM on Verizon? I can't seem to get it working.
Yes, you have to dial some codes. Check out this link and then click on "additional help for Verizon users"

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone knew if the unlocked version of the HTC 10 will still work with AT&T visual voicemail? I had to get the AT&T branded M8 and M9 in order for VVM to work being the AT&T version had voice mail integrated in to the dialer. Now that they don't offer their version I'm wondering if VVM can still be used?
That's a good question. I ran into this years ago and have since moved to Google voice. I haven't looked back and I really like it. Not sure if you're interested in that, but at least it's an option if you can't get AT&T VVM to work.

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll have to do some research on Google voice. I wasn't sure if there was a fee for that service or if you needed to change your phone number. Really hope there is a way to still use AT&T VVM service.

Google Voice is pretty old now and no longer being supported for most areas. Last time I tried there were very few phone numbers available.
That being said, I'm a longtime user and it's a superior service for voicemail and call control.

I can confirm ATT VVM works the the US Unlocked variant. Just install it from the play store. I can't get call forwarding to work and I'm not able to test VoLTE because I'm not in a volte coverage area this weekend.

Is it actually integrated in to the dialer like the OP mentioned, or does it take you in to att's branded app?

It's not integrated into the dialer. It's the AT&T branded app, but it's stand-alone.
Cool I will try that one. Volte isn't working for me though--updated my imei, new sim, etc and nothing. Worked fine in my iPhone and I'm in a good volte area.

I just spent 2 hours on the phone with tech. I get a VM and the notification. When I go to play it through the phone app native to the phone I get an error saying to call tech support and give them code 9999. I can manually dial .86 and enter my pass bit that isn't doing me any good.
Anyone else having issues? I'm going to try Google tech next...

Verified this works
Not to harp here but these settings are like little easter eggs when you get a new phone. It's all part of the ritual. You should go walk about on the entire interface, settings, sub menus etc. Even if that sounds annoying to you, do it and enjoy because in three weeks, it's just your phone and loses its gas like any other toy.

Is there one that works with our S20 Ultra?
I tried loading the one from the S10 and it doesn't open, just shows not supported when trying to open.
TMO VVM app is utter garbage and Verizon's isn't available for unlocked phones. Not interested in third party VM services.
This is one thing (besides imessage) I miss from iOS. Baked in visual voice mail support. I wish they'd add it to Android.
I use the one from the Galaxy Store on my Ultra, and it works just fine (Verizon MVNO).

Something weird is going on.
I can't access this app anywhere.
Yet it is installed on the phone!
I can ONLY see it from CCSWE App manager. It has not been disabled or removed.
I use Nova and it has not been hidden from the app drawer as well.
I inserted a Verizon SIM and restarted the phone thinking that it may show up.
Nope.
I really don't want to reset the damn thing and start all over again or it may wind up sitting on the shelf next to the other phones...

Yes this is frustrating, having to dial my VM to listen to my messages.
Makes me feel like I'm using my Nextel i1000 from 2000.
Yeah the tmobile visual voice-mail is terrible, I miss visual voice mail that was built in the Oneplus 7 pro.

+1, as soon as it updates carrier settings your good to go. Sounds like you may need a factory reset. But before you do that try resetting your network settings and wiping cache.

Full factory reset and I still have no visual voicemail showing here! @beyondpissed
When I flashed the unlocked firmware to my ultra it didn't show in the app drawer but shoed in the app list. Once I signed into the galaxy store with Samsung account there was an update for visual voicemail showing. After it applied the app was visible in the app drawer and works fine now.

It's not there.
So I factory reset AGAIN and did NOT restore ANYTHING so I have a completely STOCK phone. No visual voice mail app.
Now here's where it gets interesting. I inserted my Verizon SIM and now the VVM app shows up, so I downloaded the update. The icon is RED.
Removed the Verizon SIM card and put the T Mobile SIM card back in. Now the VVM icon is a blueish color AND when I open it, a message pops up that it keeps crashing. What a joke!
hi all, using G9880 on t-mo and G9810 on att, no VVM on either.

For TMO users I've been reading that the number must have a DIGITS line associated with it. To do this you MUST put your TMO SIM in an actual TMO device that has a recognized IMEI. Then it can be registered. The second part (and the dealbreaker for me) is you MUST flash the TMO rom to your device. There's no way I'm doing that. If I wanted a TMO device and all their associated third world like garbage, I would have bought their crappy phone!
I'd rather succumb to using youmail OR even just dialing voice mail like in the old days.
Everything else TMO works fine, their fake 5G BS, wifi calling, et al.
TBH I'm making a mountain out of a molehill at this point, because, personally I use my device as a CELLPHONE maybe 5% of the time? And that may be generous.
But what gets under my skin is I paid more than a top of the line iphone and still seemingly get the fragmented, beta-like experience.
Put the u1 firmware on phone last night and then used the Samsung vvm from the note 10 thread around here and kept getting unsupported... when I went into the galaxy store the update was there but kept failing to install. I deleted the one from the note 10 I installed and it updated the preloaded app and now it works.
