I've been trying to use google voice for my N1 and have it send me my voicemails as emails/sms messages. Whenever I do the setup it tells me that they couldn't update my fowarding and to contact my carrier. Well obivously AT&T is NOT going to help me if I call. Anyone here have the same issue with AT&T? Anyone know what settings need to be changed so that this funciton works properly?
I have att and I'm getting the voice mail as both text and email. I didn't do anything different from how I had it configured previously.
I have TMo, and I had to setup my forwards automatically. Couldn't use google voice to do it. Hope that helps.
I'm on t-mo and google voice setup gives me an error when setting up voicemail, i manually did it following the instructions on the website and my voicemails forward to GV, but I was wondering, when the setup works properly from the phone, does the voicemail button in the phone app call into your google voicemail or your carrier voicemail? the way i have it now it calls my carrier voicemail.
mine did the setup automatically with att. att is still going to help you, they want your money, threaten to switch to tmobile, like half the people who baught this phone if they don't.
I logged on to the google.com/voice and it gave me some numbers to type in for a manual setup works like a charm now!
havent gotten my n1 yet so excuse the question on this
tmo has me on flexpay, calling later to see about migrating to post but to be honest, credit sucks so i dont see it happening.
the problem with flexpay is, they do not allow call forwarding.
so if i am using the google voice app/dialer, (have fav5, was going to setup the google voice as one for calling to it to not use minutes)
if i setup google voice to forward to my cell, give my google voice number out from now on and have people update my phone number to gvoice. could i just entirely bypass the need to use call forwarding this way
correct me if im wrong, but the google voice app will take over as my dialer, contacts, etc. so anytime i make a call, it will go through gvoice and anyone with callerid would see my gvoice number. so unless i give my tmo number out or someone doesnt update my number, i would never have a call come in on my tmo number except gvoice forwarded calls..... right?
also this would allow me to drop my unlimited text messaging as well since txt msgs would all go through gvoice instead of tmo? (i read this one elsewhere and just want to confirm that would work)
someone asked if the button in the phone app works and dials google. Mine does.
I'm ATT, set up from google voice online. works well
under call settings> voice mail service I see two options, carrier, and google.
in voicemail settings it shows google local phone number, and under that a sign out option for my gmail addy
I don't think google voice saves you money yet... it still uses minutes, sms and data. I think the idea is that in the "future" we will only need data plans.

It doesn't use your plan SMSes, I don't think. All you have to use is data. GV SMS is free to US numbers.
well i called tmobile and in changing from flex to post pay, lost my fav5, lost my 5.99 internet. but thanks to freelancersunion.org i got 10%/month discount
50 extra whenever minutes, internet on 2 lines (was only 5.99 on 1 line before) and now i'm on post pay with call forwarding, YAY... paying 7$ more than i was
just need my nexus one now :/

Go to Google.com/voice and go to settings and click activate under your phone number. It will then have you dial a numb
er on your phone that will manually set the voicemail forward. I'm on Att and this method works for me. I could not get it to auto setup either BTW...

Hey guys, I have been researching this a bit but I can't seem to find a clear explanation of the process. I am currently on an AT&T post-paid plan and would like to ditch AT&T and migrate to the T-Mobile $30 pre-paid plan. I currently use Google Voice for voicemail and would like to continue to do so. I have heard that because T-Mobile's pre-paid plans do not support conditional call forwarding, Google Voice will no longer be able to intercept calls and route voicemails through its service. To get around this, I was thinking of porting my AT&T number to my Google Voice account and then adding my new T-Mobile prepaid number as one of the devices GV routes calls to. GV charges 20 dollars to port, but I would be willing to do it if it means I can continue using it's voicemail features. My question is, does anyone see any problems that may arise with going this route? Basically, my gameplan looks like this: Initiate a port of my current number to Google Voice, activate T-Mobile pre-paid plan, link T-Mobile pre-paid number to Google Voice. I would then set the Google Voice app to handle all calls and texts. Did I miss anything? I know this is not related specifically to the Nexus 4 but I'd appreciate any advice anyone has to offer.
Also, how will MMS be handled if I choose do pursue this?

This was my plan too, but MMS doesn't seem to go through using this. Doesn't get forwarded to email, and the sender doesn't get any notification. As far as voicemail, that should work if you disable tmo voicemail. But you might want to test before. Or maybe another user has advice...
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
I remember calling T-Mobile a while back and they would not disable my voicemail. Because of that, it's hit or miss as to which mailbox the message will go.
Can't help with MMS...don't use it.
If I were to go with the Straight Talk $45 prepaid plan, would I encounter similar problems with voicemail? If Straight Talk supports forwarding (allowing GV to handle voicemail) I wouldn't need to port my number to GV and could basically continue with the same set up I currently have with the GV app handling voicemails and the phone handling the rest.
I did what you are suggesting, during my 3 weeks on the T-Mobile 30 plan. (I dropped it because the voice - never mind data -coverahge is too spotty in my home area.)
The calls and Google voicemail worked well. I called T-Mobile to deactivate its voicemail without any problems.
Can't comment on MMS, since I never use it.
Text messages did not showed up on the SMS clients, though I got them forwarded to my Gmail. Not sure if this had anything to do with my GVoice settings, though I didn't see any obvious culprits.
I would like to use Google Voice's voicemail instead of tmobile's since my tmo number is a throw away and I've never given it out. I have tried changing the forwarding numbers, but it won't let me change anything. I get an error saying the network won't let me. I have also tried changing my voicemail number (the one that is dialed when you long press #1 for vm speeddial) but I get a similar message saying the netowrk won't allow it.
I have discovered this xposed module http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106490 seems to be on the right track, since it does edit the number registered to the sim card, but it doesn't allow you to edit the voicemail number registered to the sim card.
Does anyone know of a way to do this? The only partial solution I've found is by adding my Google Voice number to my sim card so I can dial 1# and get through, but I would like Google Voice to replace tmobile's voicemail altogether. This still does not forward callers to Google Voice's voicemail unless I set my phone to airplane mode.
Are you using a pay as you go plan? If so, those don't support call forwarding (which is used for Google voicemail). If you are, you can call up T-Mobile and ask them to disable your voicemail. That should allow Google voice to pick up you're voicemail after so many rings.

Yes. I'm on the monthly plan and it allows call forwarding. But, like I said, you could achieve a similar effect by having TMO disable your voicemail all together, and google voice will pick up your voicemail after so many rings.

I'm on TMoUS with the N4 and use G Voice for my voicemail. It does work fine and I can just use the in-phone voicemail setup to switch my VM carrier. I do have a post-paid monthly 4g plan though. It sounds like you already have G Voice set to forward your number to the TMo number so that's fine.
I don't think that disabling the TMo voicemail will work by itself because I don't think it will fall back to the previous number. It would probably just ring or just end the call. You could also just use G Voice for your dialer too and run everything over data.

Google Voice automatically sends to voicemail after 25 seconds. I learned this when I was using VoIP on the $30 pre-paid plan. Disabling TMO voicemail is necessary as it picks up before 25 seconds.

I would, but I don't always have a reliable mobile data signal, so I get a lot of missed/dropped calls. I'd love to be able to just drop tmo voice service entirely, though, and get 100% free voice calls!
I called Tmo and had my voicemail disabled the other day, and I'm still not able to set gv as the primary voicemail or set a forwarding number. I still get the 'contact your carrier' message. when I try to set gv voicemail, and I get a network/sim error when I try to change the forwarding numbers. I got a new sim recently, but I can rule that out because it's the same error with both sim cards in, as well as with the sim removed.
After installing Google voice, did you go into the phone, click setup from there and then select voicemail? Then change carrier to Google voice and select setup. I just use the app/widget instead of trying to dial from the phone to check for voicemail.
I have no idea about forwarding calls though.
If it doesn't go through, maybe try and un install them re install GV

If you're on prepaid, you'll never be able to set up forwarding. However, Google voicemail should still work properly if you have disabled your T-mo voicemail and configured the gvoice app. It will just take a long time before it picks up.
I have always used Google Voice as my default voice mail app. After upgrading to VoLTE (Kitkat 4.4.4), whenever someone calls me and I do not answer, it just says that my voice mail box is not set up. Anyone else having this problem?

I uninstalled and reinstalled, ran through setup and still nothing. I will try again.
I guess I don't understand the allure of VoLTE. In reading about it @ VZW site, it bills the same as regular calls so it's not like it can save on our minutes. Voice sounds just fine over standard calls IMO.
I dont know what I am doing wrong. I reset my Google Voice by uninstalling it and reinstalling, setting it up, then making sure hangouts voicemail is enabled. Anyone have any other thoughts?
*71 your Google voice number to forward it.
Thanks! Just came back here to own my shame as I forgot I had to do the call forwarding.
All better now
To those that have forwarding to GV working, did you also enable the Hangouts integration?
I cant get forwarding to work. When I call my VZW number, it rings, pauses like its trying to forward, the the VZW phone starts ringing again. It never goes to GV, or Hangouts. If I call my GV number directly, it works fine, even from my VZW number.
Any thoughts, suggestions, or assistance appreciated.

I had to go to Google voice on the web, goto Settings, select Edit under your phone number, then select Activate under Forwarding Options. It'll provide a *71 number for you to key in on your phone. This will be a different number than your voicemail number.
It worked for me after these steps.

I have an old plan. 1500 Min, unlimited text and data. For me, it isn't about saving minutes, it is about the quality of the call. My wife and most of my family has GS5, the others just got iPhone 6 so most of my calls VoLTE and I love it.
Slightly off topic, but has anyone gotten the calling feature within the new hangouts integration to work over wifi? I need this at work because when I have to go out on the floor there is no service, but there is wifi.

Did anyone get this figured out? I have never had a problem with google voice not working up until I downloaded the NI2 update to get voLTE. Now when I get a call it says the mail box hasn't been set up yet. I did all of the forwarding options (even shows forwarded on the myverizon page) and it still isn't forwarding to my google voice.
I don't get it. Anyone have any clues? I've already tried everything listed in this thread.

After making sure my phone was still connected via Google Voice online, these steps from Google (click on "If you're a Verizon Wireless user click here") are what got it working for me (along with making sure Google Voice was selected for voice mail in my phone's settings - Phone -> Menu -> Settings -> Call -> Voice Mail). I dialed all three one right after the other:
If you are having trouble configuring Google Voice as your voicemail service on Verizon you can make the switch manually by dialing these three activation codes:
*71[Your Google Voice number]
*90[Your Google Voice number]
*92[Your Google Voice number]

I've tried this and it has not solved my problem.
Working with Verizon Wireless, and they claim there is a problem during the forwarding. I'm likely oversimplifying, but it seems that VZW sends the call to AT&T Landline, who then sends it to Google's landline operator (I forget who they said this was), then it goes to Voice. For my number, there is a problem at the transition from AT&T Landline to Google's operator. So basically, it is a network issue that is occurring on a disinterested carriers network, and so nothing is happening fast.
On a side note, I tried to get creative since others still have working VZW to Voice forwarding, and I got a new number, and paid to keep the old number, too, in the hopes that a new number would work... No joy, I'm out $30 and now have a second number that behaves the same way as the first.

Odd that it works for some and not for others.
It would be great if Verizon would get things straightened out, but they've never cared about Google Voice and likely never will (heck, Google doesn't seem to care too much about it these days).

I got my PH-1 activated and just realizing there's no Voicemail app. When you get a voicemail notification, it dials into my voicemail. Is this because it's a near stock android, like the nexus and pixel? Is there anyway to get the Sprint Visual Voicemail app? I had it on my previous phone (Galaxy S4).

Get a Google Voice number and forward your phone to that VM.

I always hated Springs VVM app/service. Google Voice is way better. You have 2 options there: 1) setup conditional call forwarding or 2) integrate your Spring number to Google Voice.
Follow these steps for conditional call forwarding -- https://community.sprint.com/t5/Google-Voice/Google-Voice-not-picking-up-28-does-not-work-here-s-the-fix/td-p/348100
Conditional call forwarding forwards unanswered calls to your Google Voice number, but doesn't ring -- instead goes to voicemail there. It's all seamless.
Integrating your Sprint number with Google Voice is nice, actually. The catch is you can't use Sprint's WiFi calling feature. You're not missing anything anyway and there are ways to use Google Voice over wifi too. When you integrate with Google Voice, you share the same number on both services. Make calls from your phone as normal, your computer, tablet, virtually anything with an internet connection. Same with texting. It's all synced, sort of... Texting via Voice is synced. Texting via SMS... well, Google Voice only keeps a record of received texts. Best part about Google Voice integration is it includes spam blocking for calls and texts. As in, fewer robo calls and fewer spoofed caller ID calls.
I disabled my Voice integration to try WiFi calling. I couldn't wait to go back. Without Voice, I got 2-3 robo calls per day. With Voice, I might get one a week. And I can handle my calls and texts at work from my PC if I have to, keeping my phone down and still looking productive.
You setup Google Voice integration within the Google Voice settings on a PC/web browser. You might have to chat/call Sprint support to remove Wifi calling from your account. If you tell them you're trying to setup Google Voice integration, good luck. 9/10 don't know it's a feature and the 1 that does barely knows what it does or how to set it up. If you get an error setting it up, it's 99% likely because wifi calling is enabled/on your account.

Yeah, same here... haven't figured out how to make it work yet!
I can't believe this is not more active, or that there isn't threads for Sprint & voicemail specifically. Obviously I have Sprint & the native phone app voicemail does not work. I got an email from Google voice support telling me Sprint deactivated my Google voice intergration, & that if I want to enable it I need to call Sprint. I've been on phone several times last couple of days going back & forth with Sprint & Google to no avail. When I go into legacy voice settings from a PC the "let Sprint work with voice" (however it's worded) button is not there. So I will call Sprint again & see if that wifi calling is enabled & if so I will have them disable it & go from there.
It just really is mind boggling that in 2018 this is even an issue for anyone. Especially when service like Sprint actually has an add for "BYOD" (bring your own device). They should have small print stating "if you don't want to get voicemail notifications"
I'd settle for just that somehow, just to get notified that I have a voicemail. And then I can dial in over phone, enter a pin & do it that way. As I see it now, that's my option, to call into my voicemail every hour just to see if I have one.

I've been on phone several times last couple of days going back & forth with Sprint & Google to no avail. When I go into legacy voice settings from a PC the "let Sprint work with voice" (however it's worded) button is not there. So I will call Sprint again & see if that wifi calling is enabled & if so I will have them disable it & go from there.
It just really is mind boggling that in 2018 this is even an issue for anyone. Especially when service like Sprint actually has an add for "BYOD" (bring your own device). They should have small print stating "if you don't want to get voicemail notifications"
I'd settle for just that somehow, just to get notified that I have a voicemail. And then I can dial in over phone, enter a pin & do it that way. As I see it now, that's my option, to call into my voicemail every hour just to see if I have one.

Google removed integration of Voice with the dialer.
To get integration with the dialer you need an old version of Voice.
You need Google Voice build number 0.4.7.10.
You can download it from one of the archives.
Remove the current version of Voice.
Also make sure you turn off auto-update in the Google Play Store or you will lose the integration as soon as Voice update.
It's been a known issue for years.

I have Google Voice integration just fine with the most recent and previous versions of the app... Not sure why I'm so special.
Yeah I've been using it fine, then voice was kinda built into Hangouts & I would get them there. Because of that intergration in Hangouts I used that for my SMS & they always went through. I used Hangouts because when I'm at home I have literally no data, so I used wifi & just couldn't make calls. In the settings of Hangouts you could see settings for g voice. This still worked long after Hangouts did that auto prompt telling you Hangouts for SMS would no longer work & wanted you to install Google messages. But anyway I tried 4.7.1.0 & it gave me # to provision, I tried dialing it but I'm at home & the call just ended. So I'll have to retry next time I head out & get a data signal.

Let's be clear, there is integration and then there is integration with the dialer.
integration will allow you to get you VM via your GV account and number because your phone forwards to you GV number.
Dialer integration means you don't need to open the Voice app to check or see your VM.
The former works great. The latter is broken in more recent versions of the Voice app.

Thanks!
Well it installs, but it had an error provisioning, but then I received a text messages saying it was provisioned. But it doesn't receive the voicemails.
Did you get it to work? And yes, I'm on Sprint.
