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...
I just got the email from Google Voice telling me I can port my Sprint number as my Google Voice number! I ported it right away, free of charge.
However, I immediately noticed a glaring problem I hadn't thought of. I have Google Voice installed on my Hero. When I get a text message, I get an alert from the Google Voice app. The text message doesn't even show up in my sms apps.
So, I went over to Google Voice settings on my PC. Under my listed device I clicked on Edit, then checked the box, "Receive text messages on this phone (mobile phones only)." Now when I get a text message, I get two notifications: one from Google Voice, and one from GO SMS Pro. I guess that is to be expected.
Looking at the Google Voice settings on my Hero, there is only one check box for "Inbox notifications," where Inbox includes both voicemail and text messages! If I uncheck it, I won't get notified when I get a voicemail
Is there ANY way to make it so Google Voice on my phone only notifies me for voicemails and not text messages?
Edit: I found a workaround, albeit rather ingelegant:
In my phone's Google Voice settings I disabled "Inbox notifications"
On the PC's Google Voice "Voicemail & Text" settings I checked the box under "Alert me when I have new voicemails" for "Send a text (SMS) message to: Mobile"
So my texts normally go to my phone, and voicemails notifications come in SMS form, rather than the Google Voice app itself.

The official Google Voice forums have sporadic posting about same issue and no real answer besides this work around. Most threads end with people posting "feed back" to Google that they need to update the app for better notification options.
Also I find the work around annoying as hell because randomly it takes an hour for the sms message of a new voice mail to be sent it seems. Hoping Google will address this soon :-/
I only saw the delay early on. Messages are currently showing up in a timely manner, around the same time that a Sprint-only message would appear.
Is there a way that we can stop the text messages from going through Google voice all together? I really don't understand why it needs to do that anyway, just seems like another place I have to go to clean up the clutter, thanks for the work around it saved me from shooting my phone.

I certainly wish there was a way, however you have to realize that when you port your phone number to Google it is like all calls and texts to go Google first, then through the Sprint network to your phone.
But I agree, Google Voice for Android really needs the option to selectively sync/notify only for certain labels, i.e., Voicemails OR SMS OR both! Or, have an option to exclude text messages from the Inbox.

So, if you have/had google voice number earlier and then you port your sprint number... does it mean you have two numbers now?

Not exactly. What happens is my Sprint number replaced my old GV number, and the old GV number will expire in 90 days. I don't think both numbers work simultaneously. If I choose to unport my Sprint number, it will go back to my old GV number.

I just see it as a way to preserve my established phone number and be able to keep it for the long-term in case I should ever leave Sprint or need a new phone number. That's what I'm hoping for, anyway.
Cooler, your problem is you have the google voice app installed on your phone. Get rid of it and setup the text forwarding. Your voicemail is already attached to the phone, and now texts are sent and received once. Why are you still using the Google Voice app if your phone has been appropriated by the Google/Sprint integration? The voice app doesn't serve you any purpose at this point except making things complicated and duplicating your notifications.

If you use option 2 when integrating, you will be able to keep both your sprint and you GV number. BOTH will work, but the GV number becomes the primary.
But if you remove the google voice app, then how do you check your voicemail? You would be notified via sms that there is a new message, but the actual voicemail is stored in google voice, not the sprint voicemail system.

Actually, I prefer having the visual voicemail. Otherwise, I wouldn't have signed up for google voice to begin with.
I think Cooler's workaround makes a little more sense.

Do what I do, don't have anyone call you and if they do, don't check the message ever.

LOL! I wish it were that easy.
But seriously, I think I will just keep using Google voice as just a voicemail service.
I was considering porting my Sprint number to Google voice because I wanted outgoing calls from Google chat to show my Sprint number on the caller id. But doing so would mean I couldn't have two distinct notifications on my phone for Voicemail and txt msgs (Cooler's workaround turns the Voicemail notification into a txt). This probably wouldn't be a dealbreaker for most, but I turned off txt notification mainly because of twitter. But I still want a voicemail notification. I've also heard that you can't receive/send MMS via Google Voice.
So, for now I guess I'll stay put. Thanks to everyone for your input. I'm glad I read this thread before making the plunge.

hal1974 hit it on the nail. I didn't install Google Voice so I can text with it, I installed it so I can get my visual voicemail.

Google voice has already replaced your voicemail, you don't need the app if you are integrated with sprint. I suppose if its just for the visual voicemail, then such is life, we shall have to wait for an app for that alone.

Go to the Google Voice website and turn off Call Screening.
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.

I recently installed Google Voice to integrate with my Sprint number, and now all my texts go to the GV app. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to make the texts go to my messaging app (Handcent). I tried calling Sprint, and they had no clue. Could you (or someone) please post some specific instructions? Thanks in advance.

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.

Just uninstall the gv app. It sends the transcripted voicemails tour your stock sms app. Since sprint converted to GV you dont need the GV app

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

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.

Hey guys, as we all know google voice messaging app is a piece of crap. I am a cheapskate and don't wanna pay for texting so i use google voice to text. I was wondering if there is any way to have the stock messaging app (or any other app thats better than GV) to send and recieve google voice messages.
THANKS

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.
You can get a text with the content of your VM transcribed.

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 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"

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.
