Using my old sim card from iPhone, everything else works, but I found no way to get to the visual voicemail, I don't see the voicemail icon shown in the "Phone" app at all.

There's an AT&T Visual Voicemail app in the Play Store that worked for me. Installed it and all my old voicemails loaded right up.

Yes that's exactly what I'm doing now, but I still wish I could go to voicemail directly by tapping the voicemail icon from phone, but I guess it's baked into system-level for carrier device so maybe it's not possible

Yes, I downloaded the ATT visual voicemail app, and voicemails are showing up there.
Edit nevermind:
I have to go to the visual voicemail app to see the voicemails. this is how it was on my Galaxy S4 too
I'm seeing another voicemail-related problem with my S7 Edge International (G935F) with my AT&T SIM. When I try to change the Call Forwarding numbers (CF Busy/No Answer/Unavailable/Always) there is no number shown and I can't change any of the numbers (in particular, change CF All to my VM number or change CF to another person). Trying to change anything gets a Network Error message. Is this how it works for others? I also have an AT&T-branded LG G3 that has the same problem, but an AT&T Samsung S6 can change the CF settings.
for people that have the ATT Visual Voicemail app. Have you noticed that the phone will give you the notification that you have voicemail and the app itself will not provide you with the notification until you open it up and choose refresh. I do have notifications turned on. Other than that this app works fine.

Just noticed that i have 15 voicemails which never showed up....Doesnt Vibrant have regular voice mail ? I erased visual voicemail client (i believe it was a tmobile app) and i dont get any voicemails...??
EDIT: also noticed that under voicemail settings i am not able to change the number (it doesnt allow me)
I am having the same issue. I have mine rooted and deleted visual voice app. Ever since, no notifications show up for voicemail. May try to re-install VV. Anyone have any ideas other than this?
Using Google voicemail now......
why did you delete visual voicemail?!
is it possible that your account still has visual voicemail on it and not regular? Not sure if it matters in terms of tmos system

I re-installed VV but did not activate it. Now my voicemail notifications show up in the notification bar. Have always been on the fence about using Google Voice.
Uninstalled visual voicemail because i don't need it, I have never used it on nexus one as well. So is that the reason for not getting any notification on vibrant ? Is stock app a tmobile app from market ?

Interesting, so yoy actually need this app to get any voicemail ? Again, is it the app from market ?
I need a app that notifies me when I have voice mails.
Something along the lines of an icon letting me know I got voice mail. Does anyone have any suggestion? I run a business and notice I had 17 voice mail but I had no notification that I had new voice mails.

I just realized the ATT app requires you have the visual voice mail feature via ATT. Try YouMail from the Play Store. I haven't tried it but it has good reviews.
And no, no widgets or counters I believe with AT&T.

Yeah but I think Visual Voicemail from ATT is a feature that has to be activated on the plan. I'm trying to put the icon on my homescreen to see if it gets a count but I don't think it does. I will let you know. First gotta figure out why the visual voice mail is suddenly not working today.

I use Youmail. Its free, but they do offer a pay service for business users.
I had visual voicemail with my HTC vivid...never changed anything in my plan...in fact I bought that vivid on Craig's list and just put in my Sim, it came preinstalled on that phone...so not sure if it requires a plan or not...or maybe it does but a some select devecies come with it?? If that's the case you should be able to trick the app into thinking your on a differnt device...like with some build.prop edits or something...idk lol

I really like Google voice.
The transcripts can be hilarious, though.
SGS4 non stock
I use Google Voice as well. So far so good.
I use the visual voicemail with AT&T. I believe it gives me a counter. I will have to look the next time I get a voicemail.
The service is free if you are on the new share everything plans. In fact it turns out you have to ask for a plan without visual voicemail if you don't want it.
UPDATE: no counter numbers. Just the notification icon.

HI all,
So its Day 2 with my 6P, going great so far. Then I remembered about voicemail and I never really did anything with it besides swipe away a notification yesterday. Here's where it gets interesting... I could swear I had a 4th tab in the phone app for voicemail the other day. Now I have nothing. All I have now is my voicemail number which my phone dials to receive. Where the hell did it go?
I found some N5X posts that claim that pulling the sim worked to restore that 4th tab. No luck for me with that solution.
Anyone have any ideas or encounter the same thing? I'm on ATT for the record.
Thanks!
Who is your carrier? You can check for the visual voicemail feature in the dialer app,click on the three dots in the search box, go to settings, then calls, then voicemail. See if visual voicemail is turned on. It should be if supported by your carrier. I think T-Mobile is the only one that supports it currently, that and Orange in France. I could be wrong on that one though.

try dialing 1 or long pressing 1.
but the best solution IMO is using Google Voice Lite for Voicemail. free transcription, voicemails on PC and syncing to all devices anywhere in the world.

Best option until verizon releases a visual voicemail app like they did on the nexus 6 if you are a Verizon customer.... Have to go with google voice.
Edit: I see you are on At&t . Probably a similar scenario as the Verizon one I am referencing.
FWIW, i'm on VZW and i still have the (4th) voicemail tab... but it's non-functional. said there were no voicemails even though there were.
i DID have visual voicemail activated on my account too... so obviously at this point this tab is not yet compatible with VZW.
that said, i also wasn't getting notified of new voicemails so i called and had them remove visual voicemail for the time being. fixed the notification problem.
am looking forward to this 4th tab actually working though!
Im new to sprint, and got S7 edge but it keeps using the visual vm. I tried unsubscribing but it is still the default Voicemail, i dont want the app. I cant uninstall it.
On my note4 it gave you like a 30 day trial. I agree I didn't want it but it nags you to buy it. Just keep saying no, but enjoy the trial
Same here I had to contact tech support and have them remove it from my account

There were no steps on my part. I called and said hey this visual voice is annoying. The tech support person said "I'll remove it from your account" and that was it. Try logging into your Sprint account and under "additional services" click "remove." Then just disable/uninstall it on your phone

My wish is that we all slow down when we read and re-read before we post a reply. As you can read bLueBry said "I have an unlocked s7 930p" a sprint phone "my carrier is att."
I'm using 930u firmware on my 930p which doesn't have a voicemail app. I don't want visual voicemail, I would like the original dial in to voicemail and still get notifications.
I just bought one of the newly released unlocked S7's. First let me say it is awesome. No bloat and numerous settings that were blocked by Verizon are available now. I popped in my sim and everything works great. The only one problem is that the voicemail app is not on the phone. When someone leaves me a message, I get some wierd cryptic text message. I can dial my own number and retrieve the messages the old fashioned way. After I delete a message, I get another cryptic text message. I assume these messages are supposed to be telling the voicemail app how many messages there are in my inbox. Does anyone know how I can either get a working Verizon voicemail app on my phone or stop these text messages at least?

That's what I thought. I tried installing a Verizon voicemail app from the Play store but it repeatedly crashes and doesn't work at all. It did not look like the standard voicemail app that is preinstalled on the Verizon branded S7. I would like to get the APK that is preinstalled and give it a try but I haven't been able to find it yet.

Are you forwarding the Verizon phone number to the google voice number ? I use Google Voice a little but I didn't think it could handle the voicemail on the carriers system.
I have also notice that the video calling option is not available in the dialer on the unlocked phone. Not a big deal to me but it is one more small sacrifice to have the unlocked phone. I haven't looked for a work-around yet.

Thanks. I already have my google voice voicemail set up and working. I was looking for a way to get the Verizon phone number's mailbox working with visual voice mail. I had to call Verizon and have them add the "block visual voice mail" feature to my line so that I would stop getting the cryptic text messages every time I received or deleted a message. To save someone else some grief, if you do this, you must reboot your phone before the blocking system change takes effect.
I'm using the old fashioned voice mail service now on my Verizon number. It is tedious but I don't get many messages so I can live with it. My battery life seems to be slightly better on this phone than my old Verizon branded S7. My wife inherited the old S7 when the unlocked version was released. Well played Samsung.

After doing this, do you get any sort of notification when you have new voice mails?
I didn't mind the cryptic texts (in fact, I was able to determine what much of what it meant), but at least those texts let me know I had a new message. But recently they seem to have stopped, so now I get no notification I have a new voice mail

Yes, I get the typical voicemail icon up in the notification bar. My dialer has the number one key set to long-press speeddial my voicemail and enter my password for me. This way it is not much of an inconvenience not having VVM.

When you setup google voice correctly by forwarding your carrier number to google voice you will get it all in one place. It sounds like you setup Gvoice incorrectly. Don't use the setup from the app, use the setup on the website it will guide you in doing the phone code you have to enter to forward your number.

The way I was able to get google voicemail to work was go into settings, phone, call forwarding, turn on call forwarding, unanswered calls and then put my google voice number there.
Isn't there some setting that can be used to enable it? I was using Lineage 14.1 on my HTC One m7 right before buying my 930u, and that had visual voicemail built into it that worked out of the box with Verizon.
Surely someone on here has a Verizon Galaxy S7 and can pull the APK file off of it for sharing?
