Visual Voicemail

Does the Tilt 2 have a feature like Visual Voicemail on the iPhone?

It does not out of the box but I have been using an app from Market Place called Fusion Voicemail and it has been working pretting good. Although it there is room for improvement it overall works as expected. When a caller leaves a voicemail, the Fusion Voicemail app will launch and show you visually who left a voicemail, if you click on it, it will launch Media Player and play the voicemessage through the speakerphone. If you need to listen to the voicemail in a more private way (through earpiece instead of speaker) then you need to call the voicemail as you would traditionally. This app will also allow you to receive faxes to your Tilt2 which I thought was pretty neat.

I looked into this and sprint charges 20c a minute for "voicemail" forwarding. I hope googlevoice comes up with a slick windows mobile app soon that will include it.

Is Fusion the only thing currently available?

The best solution in my opinion is Google Voice. Sign up for a beta invite (it took me 2 days to get mine). Once get you in, add your mobile phone. Then set your mobile phone's voice mail number to your Google Voice number. Boom! You now get 100% visual voice mail for free and it kicks ass.
You can have it send you emails or sms. No extra application, no monthly fee. I'm loving it.

I do this is as well. Set Google Voice to "Do Not Disturb" and be sure to uncheck any numbers you have in "Forwards to". This will only add 1 ring to your existing number of rings before voicemail, which is reasonable.
The transcriptions aren't 100%, but its easy enough to call your GV number and listen so I couldn't be happier with it.

+2 This is what I use but I still would like a real google app to support, would be great to integrate into a panel on WM6.5, Manila or SPB 3.5.

try youmail. It's free, sends me an email and a text message. You can configure it multiple ways and I can play voicemail through my email or dial the number and listen.

Youmail is free as long as you don't want transcription.

still waiting for my googlevoice invite

thanks. I took the option of using my own tele number rather than a google number. i don't think I need the other services. I then programmed the google vm access number into my phone so now when I press the VM icon in SPB it takes me to the GoogleVM rather than the ATT provided VM.
So, now I will get text msgs. of each voicemail. This is cool but I was under the impression that I would have a running list of numbers on my phone, numbers of callers in the VM (EDIT: THIS DOES OCCUR IF YOU USE THREADED SMS) and that I could access them individually, in order or otherwise. I can do that but I have to be on my internet googlevoice account to accomplish it.

Yeah i wish there was a native App for this !
Someone please come up with one. PLEASE.

when you sign up it gives you the option of using your original number or taking a google number. The google number is what allows all of your numbers to ring on all phones...home, office, cell, etc.... I don't need that.
GoogleVoice syncs with Outlook so when i get home tonight I will sync it and then the text messages should actually display my known callers (in my address book) by name rather than just number.
Now, what is funny is that I get 5 to 10 voicemails a day, normally. Since I installed GV, my phone has only rung one time and I answered. No voice mails. It is working though because I tested it with a call from my office.

Thanks a lot.

[Q] MIUI & visual voice mail?

How can I get visual voice mail on MIUI? I do not like having to dial to get my voice mails. Weird, I know. I did a search, but could not find anything for the Evo.

You can get the visual voicemail feature through Google Voice - free. It will guide you through setting up conditional forwarding so that it goes to your google voice voicemail. You can download the Google Voice app from the market to see transcriptions and also play your vmails directly like VVM.

Sprint VVM on Miui/AOSP
Here. Flash this file from recovery. No need to wipe anything. Then use the free version of Super Private Conversation from the market to block the annoying texts (just blacklist 9016).
Before flashing the VVM file I would be sure your inbox is empty first. I've used this method since my Hero on AOSP and it works on Miui as well.

I can confirm that Sprint VVM works just fine on MIUI. Been using it since I flashed MIUI in November and have not had a single issue.

I just flashed that voicemail zip over miui because i love Sprint visual voicemail.
Works great, thank you!

Visual voicemail options on 4.2.2

Ok, I really want to use the latest roms but AT&T's visual voicemail program does not work on TW 4.1+ roms. Can anyone suggest other visual voicemail programs that are robust and clean? Don't want to use google voice. All suggestions are appreciated. And thanks!

I'm on ATT and could never get Google voice to connect to my voice-mail provider. I've tried it on a couple different roms...same outcome. After being dissapointed so many times, I just gave up and stuck with the default. I used Youmail back when I had an iPhone and it worked great though; I'll have to give it a try.:good:

you need to speak with an at&t rep and have them change your forwarding number to your Google voice number. Just be up front, tell them that you want to use Google voice, they will take care of it. I've been using Google voice for my voice mail for over a year now...
Works great..never had an issue...

You can actually do this yourself. In your dialer, hit menu, then settings. Go to call forwarding, and set it as such:
Always forward - Disabled
The other 3 set your Google Voice number, as +1xxxxxxxxxx with xxxxxxxxxx as your phone number. No dashes, no spaces.
Alternatively, you can absolutely call AT&T for this.
Afterwards, set your voicemail to google voice (also in dialer settings) and set google voice to auto sync. Done.

Verizon Voicemail not working on 5X.

Anyone else having issues with their Verizon Voicemail on the 5X? Whenever I get a voicemail, instead of the regular notification that I have a new voicemail, I'm getting a text message with a bunch of gibberish, like this:
Code:
//VZWVVM:SYNC:ev=NM;id=4;c=1;t=v;s=xxxxxx;dt=27/10/2015 09:30 -0500;l=7;dev_t=5
Of course I just got off the phone with Verizon level 2 technical support and they told me that its my phone and it isn't compatible with the way their voicemails are handled in their system, which is just their way of passing blame to someone else.
Anyway, I'm still able to receive and check my voicemails, I just don't get the proper notifications anymore, just a text message with gibberish. I've tried the default google messenger and also Textra, and both do the same thing (thinking maybe it was my SMS app).
I also don't have visual voicemail, and told the verizon rep i just want basic voicemail, and they told me their free voicemail is some sort of basic visual voicemail now, which I think is part of the problem.
Any suggestions, or can anyone verify their voicemail notification icon is working correctly??

Same issue when setting up my sister's 5X. I had the issue initially when getting my Nexus 6 on Verizon very early. There will be an updated verizon visual voicemail app for nexus phones on Verizon in the future just as Motorola came out with one for the Nexus 6 IMO. There was one for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Verizon as well back in the day. Until then, your best bet is to use Google voice to handle Voicemail. Works really well once you have it set up. If you dont use your google voice number for anything else; set it to do not disturb in the settings on your desktop so that it goes right to voicemail once your Verizon line is not picked up.....

No, you will not need the google voice app. You will need to access settings in google voice on your desktop. You can create a greeting through there and set the google voice line to do not disturb if you are not going to utilize it for normal calls. You will need to utilize hangouts to access the voice mails. They will come as texts and you can also listen to them through the hangouts app. Works really well in my opinion.

Ah yes I remember I played around with Hangouts and Voicemail back when the Hangouts Dialer was first released, I remember now that I had the option of listening to voicemails through Hangouts.
I think I have it all set up now, just have to find another phone to call my number and test it out lol.
Thanks again for the help!

Call Verizon and ask for disable visual voicemail. Ask for standard voicemail and block both standard and advanced visual voicemail. Then the old school voicemail indicator will work again.
This is the same issue CM users have had on Verizon with their visual voicemail.

I was told that would work as well when on the phone with Verizon.....

Just did a test on my 5x (Verizon) and it went into my VM and after I left a test message and hang up, it gave me the notification icon and sound. I never had visual VM before, so I don't know if that is the reason. Otherwise, working fine for me.

That is correct. However, did you make sure you have advanced calling activated on your account so that you can do data over voice..... Voice over LTE? Call in and activate it with Verizon if you dont. Sometimes with the activation of that , it automatically enters you into basic visual voicemail which can then be a problem.

This must be what happened with me, I activated advanced calling and I'm guessing that triggered basic visual voicemail which is the problem.
And the tech I talked to told me there was no way to remove basic free visual voicemail and go back to standard voicemail. Maybe she is wrong, I'm not sure, but either way I'm content with using Google Voice for now.

Yes, do this, for now anyway, until Visual Voicemail catches up with M. I still have Advanced Calling enabled, as well as HD calling, so VoLTE should work. With the Visual Voicemail removed (by VZW via chat in my case), I just get the old school simple voicemail notification on the status bar and dial *86 to retrieve.

Verizon Wireless Fixed my Issue
I had this issue since I got my Nexus 5X 2 months ago, and Verizon Wireless just fixed it over the phone and now it works fine. I don't use visual voicemail or anything fancy, although I used to use Google Voice up until a year ago.
He basically reinitialized the voicemail, so I had to set it up again from scratch, re-recording my outgoing message etc.
I should also mention my texts didn't work sometimes either... some MMS messages would just say "Downloading" and never download, and this happened often on my old Droid Maxx HD. The workaround was to disable wireless and wait for it to download over the data connection. Anyway this started happening on my new Nexus 5X also, but they reprovisioned the phone and fixed that also. :victory:

You can turn this off yourself from the My Verizon app or the website. No need to call Verizon. It's listed under "manage features".

Visual Voicemail

Is anyone else having problems getting the native visual voicemail in the dailer to activate? I'm on T-Mobile and so far I've tried everything I can think of and the visual voicemail just won't activate.

Uninstall T-mobile's visual voicemail
Uninstall T-mobile's visual voicemail/ or any other visual voicemail app. When you open up the phone app it should pop up, you may have to reboot after uninstalling those apps but thats what it was for me.

I'm on Simple mobile (a T-Mobile MVNO) and I can't get theirs to work either. Support is no help.

T-Mo seems to be working on things regarding VM. I received this text today.

wait... u can get voicemail in the phoneapp again? i thought that ended a while back... i was installing an old version of google voice for a whle to keep it in the phone app...
so, if i uninstall google voice i can get voicemail in the phone app? or do i have to go through this process?:
1. Uninstall the newer Google Voice (temporarily). Prior to uninstalling, I wipe the app's Cache and Data too as a precaution, so I can't report on the results of following these steps without doing that.
2. Go to the APKMirror website and download the latest Google Voice v4.x APK, something like v4.7.10.
3. With Unknown Sources checked in the Security Settings on your phone, install and fully setup the old Google Voice version, including setting your Phone app to use Google Voice for voicemails.
4. Once it's all setup, you can update Google Voice to your heart's content. Note that if you go into the Phone Voicemail settings you'll see that it still doesn't give you an option to select Google Voice, but you'll also notice that it appears as if the only setting it now shows (Carrier) is not selected either, so the setting is retained even though you can't select it with the newer Google Voice installed.
5. Re-disable "Unknown Sources" if you wish.

Whats the problem?

i cant get it to work on att, but i dont think it ever did. i was able to get the visual voicemail in the phone app, but not with a transcript... but i have to use the old google voice app. make sure to set te old google voice to use phone app for voicemail. when i updated google voice it stopped updating voicemails in the phone app, so i guess ill just keep the old google voice app.

Are you on Tmobile? If so, do you have voice to text add-on on your account?
Trying to figure out what the issue is because nothing seems to work for me.

Make sure that your phone is not forwarded to another messaging service. If you ever tried another voice messaging app, sometimes they do this automatically. If you forget to undo it then you will not receive voice messages. You can bring your messages back by disabling call forwarding. To do this, call ##004# for Tmo/Att or ##002# as a generic default that should work for all other US carriers. Verizon should be *73 and Sprint *730 .

I'm starting to think this is a T-Mobile account settings issue. Does those who have it working I'd be interested in seeing if you have visual voicemail or voice to text enabled in your account settings.

On built in visual voicemail the transcription is done through Google and so you shouldn't need the T-Mobile add on any more, saves $4 a month.
