[Q] Sprint Voicemail on Verizon ROM - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I've flashed the Verizon version of Echoe ROM on my Sprint Galaxy S4. After going in and changing the APN and updating the MMS info everything seems to work with the exception of voicemail. Verizon's voicemail tries dialing in and gives an error. I loaded the apk for Sprint's voicemail, but messages aren't showing up. I was wondering if anybody else has run into this problem and come up with a solution?

If you press and hold "1" on your keypad it should call your voicemail. I am also running a Verizon ROM on a Sprint phone and that's the only way I have been able to check voicemail.

Sending text (SMS) or MMS messages fails.

I have a rooted Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (SM-T337T) on the T-Mobile network.
I can receive SMS/MMS messages either on WiFi or LTE. Sending SMS/MMS messages fails on WiFi or LTE. I have confirmed that all the T-Mobile SMS/MMS settings are correct. I am not sure if sending SMS/MMS worked before I rooted the device. I have not been able to find a solution. Anyone have any ideas?
How did you root?
Is a factory reset doable?
Well, just for the heck of it I swapped the SIM card from my phone and put it into the Galaxy tab and tried to send a message and it worked. So the issue is with the SIM card. I called TMO and they did not see any issues and told me to go to a TMO store and get a new SIM.

I went to a TMO Corporate store and after telling the person my issue, the person insisted that SMS/MMS messaging does NOT work for any tablets. He humored me my giving me a new SIM card anyway. Swapping out the SIM card resulted in SMS/MMS message failing to send.
Can anyone else confirm that sending SMS/MMS messages works on their Samsung Galaxy 4 Tab? If so does it work for them over LTE as well as WiFi?
I would like to get a confirmation from others before I call back TMO Support. I am in the USA, so confirmations from US based TMO subscribers.
Based on http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-11584 SMS/MMS should work with the Samsung Galaxy 4 Tab
Thank you in advance.

My stock t337t has no trouble with plain text either wifi on or of.
Well the issue is resolved. After finally escalating this issue it turns out the provisioning was incorrect on the SIM card.

VZW Phone To T-mobile - Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+

I have the Verizon model of the S6 Edge+ (SM-G928V) I want to know if it's possible to flash it with the t-mobile rom??
I currently have a T-mobile MicroSIM that i put into the verizon phone. I had to configure it with the t-mobile APN to get calls/text to work. Currently I have a few issues:
1) I can make & receive calls, send & receive texts, but CANNOT send mms, but i can recieve mms sent to me. (I tried to see if enabling wifi would make a difference but it doesn't)
2) I get an annoying message anytime the phone reboots that says I'm not using a verizon wireless SIM. (if anyone knows how to get rid of that, great. if not it's not such big of a deal)
3) How to remove the Verizion boot loading screen??
Do I run the risk of bricking or tripping knox if i try to use a t-mobile rom on a verizion phone? Or does anyone know how to resolve any of the issues i'm having? Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance. (and No, just getting the t-mobile version of phone is not an option for me)

You cannot rom that phone because Verizon nazis lock all bootloaders on all their devices. As for the sending mms you'll probably need to take it to a t-mobile store and have them sim unlock and flash their full apn. That should do it but I can't say for sure since I've never used a Verizon phone on t-mobile
So just to update: The issue with not being able to send mms messages is because of the Message+ app that was set as default messaging app (factory reset setting). When I changed the messaging app to the "Messages" Samsung app I'm able to send&receive mms with no issues. (Please note the proper APN settings must be set)
The other issues such as the loading screen and the SIM notification I'm not too worked about, but if you have any help on those that should be great.
The only *real* issues with using t-mobile sum card with vzw phone is that the service isn't all that great, I seem to have 3g in some areas where I can't send mms while on the phone, but other than that it works well on an unlocked phone.

I believe the radios in verizon phones don't cover all the band's that t-mobile uses. However t-mobile phones tend to run pretty well on Verizon so your signal issues will continue until t-mobile launches band 12 in your area, which is the primary band that Verizon uses for Lte
Samsung lists band 12 on their site for the Verizon S6e+.
Swipe left or right to get rid of the SIM message. I've posted a similar thread here too.

"Unlocked" Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 to Tmobile switch - cannot send text messages

"Unlocked" Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 to Tmobile switch - cannot send text messages
Please! HELP!!
I switched from Verizon to Tmobile and my stupid phone updated to Lollipop 5.0.1 and now I can't send text messages without calling Tmobile and having them send a signal to reprovision my phone EVERY time after it reboots (which I have to do EVERY day now that bluetooth sucks so hard and randomly stops all the time in Lollipop).
Before I accidentally hit the button to update, my phone would show my Verizon voicemails waiting in the notification area and say "No Service" until I called my voicemail and let it disconnect, to which effect it would seem to go to no signal to nothing to HSDPA to plus to 4G LTE and BAM! I'd be on Tmobile able to send texts and all (before which I could NOT send texts, but COULD receive them (IIRC), and make phone calls (WITHOUT dial tones being accepted (which seemed to be fixed in Lollipop by selecting long press tones in the phone settings), and I COULD browse the web, etc.).
NOW, that little workaround does NOT work anymore and I have to call Tblowbile to send that magical signal to my phone (which doesn't seem to take all the time for all people for some reason).
I DO have the APN entered correctly (as stated on their website) and setting the phone to and from global to global/lte/gsm and selecting tmobile as the mobile network in the settings does NOT work.
I GUARANTEE it is that stupid GRAYED OUT Verizon APN that I CANNOT remove that is causing ALL these problems (given the nature of the phone post-reboot on KitKat).
PLEASE, tell me how to delete that stupid VZW APN or how to downgrade to KitKat or of another workaround other than having to call the deceptive, bait and switch company that is Tmobile EVERY time!
I'M DESPERATE!
PLEASE, HELP!
You can't. The bootloader is locked on Verizon, which prevents root. They've also apparently blocked access to the APNs in firmware.
Your options? Head to the XDA Verizon S4 forums and check out their various guides.
P.S. T-Mobile is not pulling a bait and switch here. They are providing you with service, which is what you paid for. They have no control over the OTA function of the device. Unless you have proof that T-Mobile is baiting and switching, your comment is slanderous/libelous.

Verizon voicemail not workin on moto g4?

I just purchased 2 moto g4 (amazon prime edition ) phones. Both were successfully activated on verizon using sim cards from the phones they were replacing. Voice mail is not working on either phone. If i dial*86 I get a message that i do not have permission to use thus service . If I call the phone it just rings and never goes to voicemail. Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions for fixing it? Thanks!
I'm able to access my Verizon voicemail fine on both VoLTE and CDMA. Phone app (bottom-left corner) > keypad (bottom-middle) > press and hold 1
In my case, downloading the 'my verizon' app after vvm seemed to make it work (connect to voicemai). The only other thing I did at the same time was to change the network setting from global to cdma/4g lte.

From recollection I believe the number for your phone and voicemail is provisioned by your sim. Look at the sim and see if you can change the number. It may be hidden I'd settings or dev options also.
