Using Google Voicemail on AT&T... Won't "foward"

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...

Visual Voice mail?

Anyway to get iPhone like visual voicemail on the Galaxy S? I am with AT&T.
Also the email client really sucks for corporate (Exchange) integration, you guys have any suggestions?

There are a few apps that will do it but I use T-Mobile's VM my buddy uses his Google voice number only and thats built in.
Do a market search for the others

Okay thanks for the info.
I got Google Voice working, seems with my ulocked phone AT&T will not allow "conditional call forwarding " enabled on my account (so they tell me).
I had them manually set busy, unanswered and rejected calls to my Google voice.
This means, while google voice works, i have to call them each time i need to disable call forwarding instead of letting Google voice do it automatically.
But now i have visual voicemail working just fine. Actually it is better than the Iphone.
Now i just have to find a good email and calendar app that works well with exchange 2007 (like the Iphone).

I use GV's visual vm with GV, on AT&T.
Access through a browser your GV account settings and forward from there. It works perfectly.

So you're using the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail App on your Galaxy S with AT&T service?

Sprint+Google Voice Integration = Success!

So, I got the 'preview' Email yesterday informing me that I can get early access to this.. Think of it as being a beta tester. Anyway..
I went ahead and did it last night. I used my current Sprint Number and overwrote my existing GV number. It seems to only bind your Sprint number to Google Voice as some sort of "smartbind" or "software bind", but not like I thought it would. This is by no means permanent as you can easily "disable" it without hassle. MMS works fine (for those who choose to use their Sprint number as GV). No, they doesn't show up in GV Inbox, but you can send and receive MMS the same as before. I'm sure Google and Sprint will figure out a way to integrate MMS as well, then that horrible Sprint PictureMail website can finally RIP.
However, If any of your friends are bound to GV, be prepared to receive messages from their GV even if you send SMS messages to their non-GV number. So, if you don't already know someone has GV, you will get messages from a GV number and will probably wonder who it is.
Example:
I send a message to my friend.
She replies, but the reply comes from her GV.
(at this point I got confused because I didn't know she had GV)
I send another reply to her mobile #.
Replies still come from GV.
I decide to just send replies to GV.
Other things to note:
-If you choose to overwrite your current GV with your Sprint GV, your current GV number will expire in 3 months.
-You can have it ring to your Google Chat if you're on a PC. Awesome! This opens up a number of possibilities maybe.
-For some reason, I can't figure out how to get the Google Voice App for Android to notify me of Voicemails only. I set it up to send me a text message when I receive a Voicemail as a workaround.
For those who want to try and keep their current GV rather than replacing it, try this.

This is a limitation when using apps such as Juice Defender. This is a primary reason why I am so excited to finally be able to use regular SMS again as it doesn't rely on data. I can also use the custom SMS apps such as GO SMS and Handcent.
I am eagerly awaiting this integration as I have been using GV as my primary voice # for over a year now and I did not get in the beta.

Yes, however, you will either need to enable sending voicemail notifications to text so that you can call your VM, or use the Google Voice app for your voicemails (it doesn't support sending vm notifications, only "new items" which include sms/vm) so using text nofications along with the app is the current workaround.

I would love to see them integrate GV into the native SMS app. It only makes sense on android....

when is the official release date?

is this new?

My biggest question is does it use your cell mins.
Example, my friend calls me from his cell. Is it still counted as mobile to mobile? or does it go to google and then my phone and is billed as regular landline mins?

Mobile to mobile. Your sprint number becomes your gv number.

It still relies on your Sprint plan. So if you have expendable minutes then yes, it will be used.

I have been using my Sprint # as my GV number for several days now and so far it has worked as intended. I am still able to use my native text app for those that think you cant. To use the native text app you just make some setting changes in GV.

I tried it and don't like it so far. I tried the option to use google number as sprint number because I paid for it awhile back, I like the number, and I don't want to lose it. I think that google should allow you an option to keep your gv number, even if you make the sprint number the gv number, if you paid for the gv number in the first place. If you paid for it, they shouldn't throw it in the pile to expire in three months.
Fortunately if you pick the same option as I did, the use gv number as your sprint number, you can back out and make them separate again without losing the google number. Nothing happens to the sprint number, as far as I know.
Something that still seems unclear is if doing this integration makes people with mobile to mobile have to use their landline minutes, even if they are talking to someone on a mobile, because they are going through google.
I posted my questions and findings in the epic forum awhile ago. I'm not certain if choosing the google number makes all your calls route from sprint to google then out or what. I don't remember making any calls to see if the lag issue still existed or not. I don't know if there might be a call routing problem sometimes like there is when using separate numbers and making a call but choosing the use google voice to make the call from the gv app. No use in asking the sprint people about this because you will probably get different answers. Also trying to search google help for voice is like the needle in the haystack thing.
Ok, here's some tests I ran and my results. If you can try these yourself and see if you can get different results by trying different things, things I might have missed, please do and post your results.
The first test I changed my google voice account so that my google voice number was my sprint number. After restarting the gv app as instructed, I lost the ability to do some stuff. The choice to use, or not use, google voice to make the call is gone. I wasn't able to call anyone at that time to test if there was lag in the audio or not. I tried sending a text from the stock app to my sprint number and it went through and showed my google voice number as the originating number. The text went to the stock app, but I don't remember if it went to the gv app or not. I sent a text from the stock app to my gv number and the message bounced back to the stock app and gv app. I tried sending a picture from the stock app to my sprint number. It acted like it sent but I didn't receive anything. I tried sending a pic to my gv number and nothing received also. I don't know if it actually went out or not. I didn't have anyone to send a pic to to tell me if they got it or not. I was trying this late at night. I don't know what would have happened if someone called my sprint number if the phone would still ring or not.
I went back into google voice on the computer and changed the settings so that it wasn't integrated anymore. I logged out then back in with the gv app on the phone. The choice of using gv to make the call came back. I sent a text from the stock app to my sprint number and it bounced back like expected. I sent a text from stock to gv app and it bounced to the gv app as expected. I sent a pic from the stock app to the gv number and it went out but never came back as usual. I sent a pic from stock to sprint number and it bounced back.
What I am guessing is that, from my experiences, you can't receive attachments if you make your gv number your sprint number. Like I said, I don't know if the attachments are going out or just acting like they are. When numbers are separate, pics bounce back when sent from then to my sprint number.
Unless someone finds out something different, or google fixes stuff when they make it live, I will be staying with separate numbers and conditional call forwarding and being able to hide behind my google number when calling people I don't want having my real number or I might want to block them some day. There's been word that mms is either in the works or done with google voice, it just hasn't been officially made live or an updated gv app that allows attachments yet.
I will wait and see what happens. Like I said, maybe I missed a setting somewhere? I don't know. Everything looked okay in the settings on the google voice account on the computer.

I tried integration again with gv number being my main line. I tried calling my sprint number an it rang through so no problem there. I didn't have the ability to test mms but I did read on one of the gv help pages that if you send a sms with stock app, it will show your gv number. If you send a mms, it will show your sprint number. if someone wanted to reply to a sms you sent with a mms, then it would fall into the black hole. Apparently if people want to send you a mms, they must send it to your sprint number. This is certainly a pain for anyone else to remember. In my opinion, this integration shouldn't have happened until mms was introduced and integrated.
If you run separate numbers and conditional call forward to gv for voicemail, like I do, then there's no difference that I can see with the old way or new way. It just seems like a different way of getting the same end result.

From what I've read, If you make the GV number your cell number and someone sends you an mms, it goes to your stock reader. Since your gv number is now also your sprint number, it shouldn't matter...unless I've misunderstood.

Wasn't this supposed to officially roll out today? I still get the $20 fee, or is that always the case?

This whole google voice thing with sprint is making my head hurt, hopefully I can get some clarification here.
I jumped on board with google voice the first chance I could. I have a google voice number, and that's the number I give out to EVERYONE!
My wife is the same way, hell, she does not know her Sprint phone number.
1) Can we make the google voice number our "sprint" number, and still keep all the benifits of the google voice number (calls from GMAIL, ringing different phones, ect)?!?!?!
Thanks

I just got my invite that says try it before others...

Debate Visual Voicemail V.S. Google Voicemail!!!!

Ok I am going to start some crap!!! Keep it civil of course I want to hear from you guys which is better for you.
Pros for Visual Voicemail.
1. Allows you to keep you custom ringtones for text messaging.
2. You get your messages via sprint visual text message app and email.
3. Does not interfere with your voicemail message box set up.
4. Does not require background data to be on to receive messages saving tons of Battery life.
5. Allows you to receive your texts through you text messaging application.
Cons for Visual Voicemail.
1. You can not keep track of your voicemail text message with one application.
2. Does require a data plan for text messages.
3. I don't think the application does thread messaging.
4. You can only save your message for 30 days I think?
5. Cost $1.99 per month.
Pros for Google Voicemail.
1. Slick interface one shop for text message and voice messages.
2. Intergates with google voice.
3. Sends voicemail to your gmail account.
4. It is free!!!!
Cons for Google Voicemail.
1. Required data background on to receive messages.
2. Interferes with text messages so they don't play through your text messaging application.
3. No individual customizable ringtones for text messages.
4. You have to set up a voice message through google voice and manage your account online.
I personally like Visual Voicemail better than google voice. If google voice did not require us of background data and if it had customizable individual ringtones for each person especially text messages I would like google voice better.

I'm using Google voice for my Voicemail only right now. I don't use the Google Voice app. I prefer it over Visual voicemail because of the transcriptions. I use Handcent for SMS so I still have custom notifications for voicemails.

What is the difference between the Google Voice and the Google Voice app?

You can use google voice without it interfering with your native sms app. You just have to set it to not use your number as your google voice number. (I think you have to do this online) You can still use the google voice app and have native sms.

Ok, this may sound stupid, but what do these bring to the table, over the standard free VM/Text Msg app included with android
Is it simply the VM messages are typed out for you?
Or is there some major advantage to be gained, by using the free google or the paid visual VM
I may get a VM once every other month or so, so I just dont use VM pretty much at all, most of my friends have graduated to the 21st century and use texting over VM, so if I do get a VM, I know it is probably not anything I care about.

I use GV and I get both vm and txt through the stock messaging app. I don't use the GV app at all

I use Google voice to sent and receive text messages at work so I'm not on my phone at all.
I use it also for voice mail transcriptions but I only get voice mail about once a month.

Can you post the google voice so I can download it and use it. I believe they only have the google voice application on the android market. I can not find google voice only the google voice application on the android market place.

If you log into it google voice account from a pc. I was able to force the messages to forward to my phone and see them on my regular messaging app and turn off notifications for gv texts. But then my gv app still showed all the texts. Kind defeated the purpose.

1. If you intergrate your number to google voice you dont need the app, so it doesnt need the data backround running.
2. If you intergrate your number it sends it to the stock sms app
3.This one may be true I havent figured out away to change this
4.This is true but it also means that it backs up all your vm and txt online. You can also dail 1 and get into and listen to your vm from your phone.
In my opinion I live the GV intergration. Ive been able to get rid of two apps that constantly run in the system(Visual VM app, and a call blocking app). I get all my txt and vm's sent to the stock sms app and I can txt and call from my computer. It also has call blocking which our phone is missing. If you intergrate your number it allows you to do all this, but if you dont and just want the extra number you have to keep the apps.

I used Google Voice for just over a year for the voicemail...I liked getting my VM's transcribed, but the quality of the transcriptions was often nearly on readable.
I've recently switch to using the Visual Voicemail included on the Epic for 2 reasons:
1. The Google Voice app seems take up an inordinate amount of resources
with the background service it's running.
2. The transcription quality seems to be much better.
(even for some of my friends who have thick accents )
So I guess my opinion is I'll give them to $2 a month if the service is reliable and quality.

The GV integration will be great if they deduct the charge for txt from my sprint bill, they integration isnt so clunky, they get VVMs transcription engine (not that I use it). Just seems sprint dumping off resources onto google and still charging us for them. One advantage I thought I had was to be able to get txt thru wifi via GV, but this doesnt seem the case... like I said, clunky... but I will love for my sprint bill to go down... yah, like they would do that. Plus Google needs to ditch the white backgrounds, I know theres custom apps, but by default the most annoying scheme? I think google stuff will be great, if it gets off the ground and sticks... then they can really invest time and thought into it...

If you already use Google Voice for a seperate phone number for business, you can't set up seperate outgoing messages. Visual Voicemail without the stupid texts that are always soooooo wrong is free. I was happy to see it supplied with EG22 again. If they were able to seperate outgoing messages for those calling your regular Sprint number from those calling your Google Voice number I would only use the one app. But since they don't use both voicemails for 2 numbers.

I don't have my Sprint number integrated, but this is how I stopped the text forwarding to Google talk when it started happening on my phone.
1) Log into you Google Voice account on your computer.https://www.google.com/voice
2) Click on the gear in the upper right hand corner and then click "voice settings."
3) Click "edit" under the your phone number.
4) There should be a "text setting" with a check box next to "receive text on this phone." Uncheck it and click save.

You need to go into the settings. And put a check on send a text to your number and un check send email so it will send the vm to your stock msg app. And I get my txts just fine in the stock app so I'm not sure about that

Thanks, that helped. What's interesting is I had to reinstall the Google Voice app to tell it not to synchronize inbox. I guess it leaves a setting somewhere other than the app data.

If you use sprint google intergration with your sprint number it will interfere with text based location services such as lookout mobile security as th text is sent to a web text server and not to your cellphone. Think of it like outlook email when you setup sprint google intergration in that all your text and voice messages are stored in the g cloud.

Anyone get at&t visual voicemail app working?

Curious as to how to make it work. At first I couldnt even download the apk from the play store as it said wasnt compatible with my device. Got the apk elsehwere on this site and still cant get past the missing voicemail password screen.

I, too, am having trouble getting VVM to work.

Is anyone using visual voicemail?

Is it setup on your account through at&t? AFAIK, its a feature that has to be "turned on", much like a data plan, etc. if you have an "LTE" phone (so, an lte imei) you should be able to get your account provisioned for lte and visual voicemail. But even after all this, its still may not work. Worth the try though unless someone else has gotten it to work elsewhere.
Take what I said with a grain of salt, I could be wrong, but think this is how that vvm works.
Edit: alternatively, Google voice's visual voicemail works on this phone.

Att's VVM is a two step headache when it comes to android. First, you need to have it provisioned on your account and then the app only works on approved phones. It worked just fine on my vivid when it was stock, but once rooted and on a custom ROM, the app didn't work anymore. I started using GV and have been much happier with it.

Yes I have an lte data plan on my account and have visual voicemail enabled. I've checked all thise with at&t but I cant get the at&t visual voicemail app to work on this device. It just hangs when trying to set my password. I was wondering if I'm the only one with this issue

Yes I have an lte data plan on my account and have visual voicemail enabled. I've checked all thise with at&t but I cant get the at&t visual voicemail app to work on this device. It just hangs when trying to set my password. I was wondering if I'm the only one with this issue

You don't have to. I still use my mobile number for everything, but have my voicemails forwarded to Google voice. If you have a Google voice number, just download the GV app and let it set up your voicemail. People will call your main number, but GV picks up to leave a message. The caller will not know the difference and you still get your voicemails to your phone. You can even have GV display the voicemails right in the call log.

This is exactly what I did as well. Use my regular number for making and receiving calls, unanswered calls forwarded to Google Voice (using **004* number), then set "Do Not Disturb" in Google Voice so that all calls go straight to voicemail.
Now, people calling me hear 4 rings (the usual number of rings) and if I don't answer, it immediately plays my GV greeting and a beep for the message.
Using the integration to the phone's call log even gives me a "Play" button right along with missed call notifications. It's pretty sweet and I highly recommend it.
