Does the native visual voicemail transcribe voicemail messages on T-Mobile? Mine only shows the voicemail and the option to play, delete, etc, but no transcription. If it is not available, then I might as well go back to Google Voice.

Hi, I bought two Vibrants. The one operates differently than the other. The main thing is voicemail. When a voicemail comes in, the phone signals two different voicemail notifications (one regular voicemail & one visual). The other thing that happens is the phone won't open visual voicemail when the voicemail tab is pushed when in the "Dialer". It will dial the voicemail's number instead.
Can someone tell me how to fix both of these things? I'd like to only have a notification for visual voicemail and I also want visual voicemail to open when I open the voicemail tab in the Dialer.
I started using Google Voice for my voicemail. Seems to work OK. But I miss having an obvious visual cue on my homescreen that there is new voicemail. Do I have to periodically run Google Voice and look for messages, or is there someway to get an obviouis notification on my homescreen?

I also do not get any notification of voicemail, but I don't think I'm using googlevoice as to get my voicemail I have to call myself. First thread I found about a similar problem to mine, still researching...
You need to download the Google Voice app. It will do everything you ask for and more.
Problem: I do not receive any type of voicemail notification (no 9016 text, no voicemail icon in my notification bar, nothing).
About my phone: I have a Sprint Galaxy S4 (SPH-L720). I am running CM11. I can access my voicemail by holding the "1" in dialer (so I know the number is accurate in the settings). The "Message Wait" indicator option is checked in the voicemail setup. I did try Google Voice for a while (hated it, messed with my text messaging). I uninstalled it from my phone and disabled it via the google.com/voice site. I also cancelled call forwarding (*720) and conditional call forwarding (*38). When I call my voicemail or someone else calls my voicemail, it does go to the sprint voicemail system (I am confident I've severed the connection to Google Voice).
Fixes I've tried with no success: I've tried a few voicemail notification apps from the Play Store that are supposed to work with custom ROMs to "listen" for a voicemail. I've tried leaving myself a voicemail and deleting it. I've checked the Message Wait Indicator button in the settings. I've disabled call forwarding and conditional call forwarding as described above. I've made sure that I have no numbers Blacklisted. I've called Sprint and asked them to reset my voicemail on their end.
I've searched and searched. Most of what I find is 1) Use Google Voice (I tried and hated it); 2) people that have a persistent voicemail notification or 9016 text messages (I have nothing and want something), or 3) people that want Visual Voicemail to work (I don't care about visual voicemail, I just want a notification of some sort that says "Hey you have a voicemail". I don't always have great reception (Sprint is so terrible...but cheap), so I don't always know if I have a missed call.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Do you need more info? Thanks to all of you for your time and all you do on this site; it has helped me tremendously in the past. This is the first time I've been completely stumped after searching and had to post a question.
Got a voice mail today, no notification of it although it did say missed call. Received a weird text message //VZWVVM:SYNC:ev=MBU;dev-t=5. Do I need to install an app to get proper voice mail? I was able to listen to the voice mail by logging in with password normally. Also, if I have to install a voice mail app, any suggestions? Would rather avoid the Verizon app.
I always use Youmail Voicemail service instead of the carriers system. I have a problem, I used to have the option to go into call settings and change the Voicemail number to the number from my third party Voicemail service. Now when I go there the number is grayed out and I can not change it. I have TMobile and I know they have their visual voicemail implementation but, Youmail service is far superior. Youmail has an app that works great but If I'm at the dialer and just press the 1 key to check voicemail, the phone dials to TMobile voicemail. I would like to have full capability.
Anyone knows we're I can go to activate the ability to change the default voicemail number?
