why wont voicemail work!! plz help!! - Hero, G2 Touch General

So i buy a GSM HTC HERO im with rogers...so i had to get the phone unlocked....so i put my sim card in there from my previous phone and phone plan the guys said my blackberry data plan will carry over and its all good...and it works.....but this phone is rooted currently using modaco 3.1 and when i try to call my voicemail the call wont connect after dialing for 2 seconds it will *click* hang up... :S why is it doing this? how can i get voicemail to work? in the voicemail setup in the phones settings i have entered MY OWN phone number....have tried using +1 and not using it......but nothing...still same problem....

...
bumping this message!

Just to be certain, you are sure that putting your own number in is correct for voicemail retrieval?
The reason I ask is that searching Google for "Rogers Voicemail Retrieval Number" brought back this link.

Dave

I have the exact same problem. Hero set my own number to voicemail. I called up rogers and they gave me the number to fetch my voicemail manually. I saved it in my phone-book and gave it a speed-dial number.

Errrhhh, why not just set the voicemail retrieval number? (Settings->Call settings->Voicemail).

FusionPlus 2.0 up and Running on Imagio

Being an alltel customer still in verizon's eyes means no access to verizon services such as Vcast tv, visual voicemail, vz navi, etc........who really cares. But I do need the visual voicemail. And fusionplus works great, tack 3.99/mo and you have voice-to-text. Very nice service.
Explain a little more about PhoneFusion. I have verizon visual voicemail and it seems ok but I was wondering how PhoneFusion works since you have to forward you number to their number then you getting charged minutes everytime you get a voicemail.
It does run on your normal minutes when you call in to check your voicemails. However, they are visible and you download them via data connection and then play in windows media player as mp3's so the there really is no need to use your voice minutes. You can manually download or set them to auto download. And of course the service is free. More info at http://www.fusionvoicemailplus.com/
how did you get it to forward it? when i did i called the *72 it makes it go straight to voicemail everytime, it doesnt ring on my end.

You first need to call verizon and have them set your conditional call forwarding number to 813-200-0200. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL YOUR MESSAGES DELETED BEFORE YOU CHANGE FROM VERIZON VOICEMAIL TO FUSION PLUS (or else you will not be able to get rid of the new voicemail notifications and it will drive you crazy like it did me). When you call verizon, speak only with tech support as customer service will say its not possible. After you do this go in to phone settings and on the first tab "phone" (start->settings->all settings->personal->phone) where it says "voicemail" change the number to 813-200-0200. This should automatically set your 1st speed dial to your new voicemail box. Good to go.

Here's a quote from the email they sent me:
To activate conditional call forwarding: Enter *7118132000200 as if it is a phone number that you are dialing and press "SEND".
To deactivate conditional call forwarding: Enter *73 as if it is a phone number that you are dialing and press "SEND".
*72 is Call Forwarding:

I tried this method three times and was unsuccessful until I called tech support and had them do it for me. Did this work for you?
how do you get 'sync' to work? I'm either putting in the wrong number/password combination or something else. New email comes in fine.

See post number 5.
Sweeny Russ, it has been about a week or so since you have had phonefusion running, how do you like it, Verizon's visual voicemail is handy but the app takes to long to load and I don't know if it is 2.99/month handy. Reading your posts it seems like it is a pain in the A$$ to setup if you have to call tech support. I wonder why doing the *71 + the number would not work?
Thanks

Thanks, but that didn't help me. I did figure it out though. When you add an account, use the Fusion Voicemail Login number they email you and the password they give you. Then sync will work. I had changed my password via their website and it wasn't working in the phone software. Must have needed a little more time to update.
Overall, it works good. I like it better than the Visual Voice Mail and I think the quality is better and its free. I didn't have to call VZW to get my cell to forward. It was very easy and straight forward.
However, I need to find away to be able to use the handset speaker to play the voicemails instead of using the speaker phone. It's getting a little annoying. I think the default is Microsoft media player. I can't find away for it to switch between handset and speaker. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it.
icon, did you do *71 + number or * 72 + number?

Thank for the reply. If I would of only read. My fault. I got it.
Morning all,
I am trying to get FusionPlus to sync when I hit the sync option. I have put my VZW phone number in there, along with my VZW vm password. Should I do the opposite and put the FusionPlus number and password?
Steve
I just entered my verizon number and the password. I clicked sync, I did not get any errors but it does not seem to have done anything.

That's what I was talking about above...
For syncing, put the Fusion Voicemail Login number they email you and the password they give you.
Hope that helps. I think they could have given a little more direction on that. I wasn't sure what number to put either.
I used my verizon phone number and the password phonefusion sent me.
I think fusion is perfect. I also found that it does not have to be open to notify you of new voicemails. It is very finger friendly and If you have bluetooth toggle you can list to your voicemail via bluetooth headset, the way I do it anyway, which is nice if you have messages you don't want anyone to be able to hear because it routes through the speaker. And if you delete a message but then need it later they save it for 14 days, unless your free mailbox is full. Also I can't see it using any visible resources, its footprint is very small compared to verizon visual voicemail.

[Q] Removing Google Voice *Rips out hair!*

I have been having serious troubles reverting back to my T-Mobile voicemail account after installing and using Google Voice for a little while. While Google Voice is no longer on my phone, my voicemail still goes to Voice's server instead of T-Mobile's. I have tried disabling my phone number through the setting's on Voice's webpage, but it won't let me! I am so frustrated by this! I would really appreciate any help I can get! I can't seem to find anything about removing it anywhere!
Hi, couldn't you just go into settings, call, voicemail service and select "my carrier?" That should revert it back to stock.
You have to go into your call forwarding settings in Settings/Call.and turn all 4 settings off.

I had this happen to me and the only way to get it back to T-Mo VM was to enter in an MMI code to enable conditional call forwarding back to the t-mo number.
I forgot what the code sequence was, but I got it after googling.

You don't need to know the code. You can do it right from the phone in the call forwarding settings.

[How to] Get your Voice-Mail Number! (Have you lost it??)

Have you lost your Voicemail number?
Do you not know what the heck it could be??
To solve this problem, simply do the following:
1) Open dialer
2) Dial: *#67#
3) There is your voicemail number.
P.S: Not everyone's voicemail is the same number. Reason the code is the best reason.
Please move this to general.

good tip. wrong forum
Not necessarily. If you have changed your call forwarding number (e.g. google voice) then it will show the google voice number, not the tmo number.

Interesting..
I for example have no number set at all.. my voicemail number is blank.
When I send that command, it gives me the phone number of my phone carrier's voicemail.
And yes, might be in the wrong place..
Im not a mod/admin.. i cant move it.
i dial 123 and it goes right to my vmail...
i use 123 as well
123 is what I use also, assuming visual voicemail isn't working.
You can call t mobile and ask for your voice mail number. If for some unknow reason they ask why you need it say google voice removed it. I had the same problem, no voicemail after update to 6 1 1, fixed with a phone call.

please don't start b.s, the code works well. If it doesn't work for you it's a different story.
so please stop making wrongful accusations that it does not work.
thanks a lot. worked like a charm
I think it all depends on if you still have T-Mobile as the carrier with your myTouch 3G phone. I have AT&T and the 123 code does not work with it. I think that is the same issue that the others are running into.
Any other clues or help you guys can give?
Worked in At&t for me. Thanks

Using tmo voicemail with google voice

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.

Yeah, I am...so I guess that's the issue. If I switch to a monthly 4G plan would that also allow call forwarding?

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.

Call Forwarding Settings

I'm using my 6T on AT&T. On my previous phone (an HTC One m7 that I used for 5 years), I used a MMI code to increase the time before unanswered calls go to voicemail. The code includes the phone number that the calls are forwarded to. I tried to get that number by using the code *#61# but it returned "Not Forwarded" on all call types. I dug into Call Settings>Call Forwarding and all the settings are set to "Off". If I go into any of the settings it prompts to enter a forwarding number. Is it just me or does everybody else's phone not show this info?
When I do get a call that goes unanswered, it is forwarded to voicemail and I'm notified and am able to retrieve it, either by calling my voicemail box or using the visual voicemail app. So voicemail is working normally. I just find it odd that I'm not able to get the forwarding number information. Is this because the phone is not AT&T branded/certified?
Do these MMI code things still work like they used to? Or have things changed & I'm not able to modify this setting any longer?
I am having the same issue. When trying the codes or going into settings I get the same results error. Never had this issue with my other phones. Did u add the IMEI to att? Just wondering cause I didn't. Using the imei of my galaxy s6.
