I bought my V20 directly - not thru veizon and it is activated on the Verizon network. When I try to install Verizon Visual Voicemail, it says my device is not compatible. I tried downloading the apk and it "installs" but when I try to open it I get "This app is not supported on this device." Has anyone found a way to make this work? I have to assume that if I'd bought this from Verizon, it would work.
Stock, mine worked fine. Rooted and running a 996 ROM though, I'm in the same boat. I haven't tried REAL hard yet, but if you come across a work-around, let me know.
I'm working on it now, trying to find a fix for this one..
I had the same issue, using my unlocked v20 (us996) on Verizon. Went to the store and the tech guy says that the visual voicemail service will be soon discontinued and something else will be released and to wait for it, but as of now there is no way to get the voicemail app on phones that aren't Verizon.
Hmm, ok so I got the visual voicemail app that came on WETA rom, but it doesn't do voice to text like I was expecting... Buttttttt, that's because Verizon charges for it and I'm not paying $2.99 for something that Google Voice does for free lol..
Well of course there's always "something", right..?!?
Google Voice says it doesn't work with my provider...! Whelp, back on the hunt for a VVM app I can use, that's hopefully free..

In our case, I actually do have a Verizon phone, just using a ROM for a different model. Was hoping to find a build.prop edit, or something that would let me re-label the phone back correctly so Verizon would see it. I know that they said that 7.1+ would build the VM into the native system, instead of an app - maybe that's what they were talking about? My other issue is that I use Google Voice with a 2nd number for a business line, so I can't exactly use it for my main number's VM.

I did, with my 2nd number, and it's been fine since. I rarely use it for calls, but I use it for incoming, and for it's VM. So far, it seems to work fine. Call comes in correctly, goes to VM (which reminds me I have to change my message lol).
Ok so i had google voice for a few hours and it was cool.. But I figured I'd try to stick with a more oem approach, so I found the Pixel XL dialer.. Now I'm tweaking that to work for me, love the visuals on it that's for sure..!

Which app is it? Do we have to pay for this service?
its supposed to come out today as "visual voicemail" if you have the mytouch and the internet feature there is no additional cost.
It just came onto the market on my MyTouch - but it doesn't work, keeps claiming my account is not created, and tells me to sent my operator to m.web2go.com/dsb/vvmupsell
Once again, getting my phone early means things don't work yet. The manual also points me towards the marketplace for the apppack, which also has not yet been loaded

Good point - probably not, as I came from the G1, so I'm most likely still on the old package.
It's alright. Prefer Youmail for the email aspect.
Just had to have my data changed to get VVM to work.. The app crashed a couple times, but it does what its supposed to.. Also I noticed we seem to be getting both notifications instead of just the VVM one..
Just got Visual Voicemail hooked up too! Nice!!! I've been waiting for this functionality (on T-Mobile) for a long, long time... so it's really nice to finally have it.
All that said, the icon has the (typical) T-Mo "pink", which I could do without. Also, the app itself isn't especially 'flashy', but it appears to do what it's supposed to to.
Does anyone know why after I installed this app, that whenever someone calls me, voicemail never picks up and the caller gets a busy signal?
Sounds to me like you need to check your call forwarding settings. Set your time limit and forward to +1-805-MESSAGE

No, that is the official TMo app, weird and shady that it asks you to go somewhere else, but thats it.
Easy fix, is call TMo and ask them to enable it for you. You might have to upgrade your messaging plan however.

What happens when my free trial runs out? This service is laughably bad to the point of being usable ONLY as a source of comedy. I am not interested in paying for this.
Will it just stop working or is it going to keep working and start charging me money without my permission? Should I just uninstall it now? Can anyone recommend a suitable replacement visual voice-mail app?

Google voice hands down...
I would suggest (personal opinion on style and battery usage) installing the installing the inverted version here just because black looks slicker and causes less work for the screen.

When I signed up it said that when my free trial was up I would be presented with an option to continue the service or to cancel.They specifically stated that there is NO automatic billing once the trial is up.
How do I go about removing the sprint app? I tried dragging it to the trash can and that didn't work.. I have sdx stock app remover, but I don't see anything obviously titled "voicemail" or some such..
also, google voice setup is stuck at "verifying phone number" been that way for at least a minute now.. long enough for the screen to turn off
edit: yea, that google voice isn't installing.. I'm going to try the market version, then come back to the inverted version at a later time.. I really hate non-black themed apps too..

try setting it up on a computer and skipping that step on your phone. I only ever did that set up when I was dealing with a non-smartphone.

The stock app is called cm-android. And you can try this apk. Its the inverted and I edited it to have a transparent widget. I just put it on mine and it installed fine.
disregard this post.. **** was going bad here.. but its better now.
OKAY, installed
Thanks gitusum.
Still not perfect.. I tried a test call and my hilarious outgoing greeting is gone.. replaced by some generic woman and there is no option to even leave a voicemail, she just says something like the call failed, please try again.
well okay the good news is that I'm back where I started with the stock sprint voicemail to text app.. With my hilariously rude outgoing greeting!
I don't know why, but forwarding my voicemail to google simply was not working.
Work is over, so I quit for today. Will try again tomorrow. Thanks for the help everyone!

Did you set it up /w voice.google.com first? Setting up through the app itself doesnt work all that well IMO. Once it is setup you can just skip the voicemail setup step if/when you reinstall. I just pressed activate google voicemail on this phone. It then should make you dial a #. After that it is done.
yea setting it up through the voice app doesn't work but setting it up on a computer did. It's just that dialing the code to forward voicemails to google voice doesn't do anything but break my voicemail.
If I call my number I get some kind of cut-off error.. it sounds like "-all could not be completed, please try again" with no option to leave a voicemail. The code to deactivate the voicemail forwarding works fine at restoring the original sprint voicemail service.
I really couldn't find a clear answer on any of these, so I thought I would ask. Sorry if it's been cleared up.
1. Can I get VVM on my Epic flashed on Cricket to work?
2. Has a practical MMS solution been discovered?
Sorry, like I said, I searched but couldn't find a clear answer. Thanks.
1. VVM - not sure - if it's something the Kyocera has on it as a stock application, probably could just take that app. You can always use Google Voice as well for VVM. Not sure if they actually support VVM, though.
2. This has been done, supposedly, but I believe the solution is ROM specific for some reason. Someone hacked one together and offered to do it for other ROMs -- I would search the forums for his post about it. (MMS, Epic, Cricket tags should find it) Basically, you'll need the custom APK to use, in addition to correctly setting up the APN's on the back end of the phone.
The guy who did the MMS post should have steps on how to do everything for #2. For #1, I've discovered that for Google Voice to work, you *need* to have the GV phone number in a similar area code as your Cricket number. i.e. Houston has 281, 713, and 832. I tried using a Dallas forwarding number and it wouldn't work. Using an 832- extension, did work, though (and my phone number starts with a 281 area code).
Hope that helps!
Yes, I'm currently using GV, but it doesn't always forward and some messages get left on my regular vm.
Yeah I did find a post where a dude said that he had it all figured out but then he took it down saying that he was going to post it on Ebay for $1 each. So that's why I figured I'd ask.
Personally, I'm thinking of getting this flashed onto Boost. It might run better and about the same price. Too many headaches with Cricket and this phone (plus ****ty service).
How do you like the new GB update? To me, it sucks. Seems like there is nothing new on my phone except for the design/menus and stuff like that. I was bummed. **** they still have Asphalt 5 listed on there... like wtf. I was hoping that the GB update would help me with my cricket reception, but it doesn't so that's why I'm thinking about Boost also.
Hey, any of you root people, could you pull the voicemail apk off your phone so I can use it with my flashed universal phone? Have tried the s6 edge software but no go. Thank you
This is simple through titanium backup. No one?
The one on official firmware will not install correctly. But this is an older one that works. Download and install like normal.

Once you set up, it may take a while to actually activate. I just left the app, came back to it 5-10 min later, and it was running normally.
Ya took me almost an hr. Worked well though. Downloaded many that didn't work. Just needed 1 that did.
It doesn't appear to actually work. You all just think it is.
If you leave a vm it wont download it (or mine doesn't seem to).
If you go into settings and pref, it shows it's not verified still also. You just stopped seeing the prompt because once the screen times out it is no longer on top but if you fully kill the app and re-open it still says verifying.
These are my findings at least? If you go into settings and pref does it say you're verified?
Yeah I couldn't get it to work either
Didn't work for me either

Are you sure?
I've got the same issues all the others did. It can't activate. Just because it stops popping it up doesn't mean it's activated now either. That message suppresses after a while.
It seems to tie into something that it and Sprint Zone use from what I can tell and thus why won't work on these non-branded firmwares.
Leave yourself a VM and see if it shows up...
It usually wouldn't go past the account verification at all. I'm not 100 %sure yet. But it did go farther than before and I'm trying it out now to verify. Will get back
If you press home and go back into it the app will hide the message but it still wont work.
I actually found the outbound activation messages in it that are failing to send even.
So this is another bust.
I think our best luck is if someone can either reverse eng. this thing to modify it to not try to use whatever sprint bloat it's looking for or we find what it's looking for and find a way to put it on our phones.
Sadly it's not a new issue. All the Nexus people have had the issue from day 1. And it seems to be only sprint because they won't make a darn public compatible app.
I can't use GVoice as I already use it for a second number and I don't like any of the third party ones that make you use conditional call forwarding to them to do this...
Another question for you all. I've noticed if NO voicemail app is installed I do not get any notification I have voicemails. If I do install one (despite it not working) I get notified because it says pending voicemail download at least.
With no VM App installed are your phones telling you that you got VM?
Yeah same boat here man. Looks like we beating a dead horse
Yea, Sprint should upload visual voicemail to the Play Store like T-Mobile does. So stupid.

Does anyone have VVM actually working in the stock dialer on the TMO variant?
First, the tab itself in the dialer won't even show if you have the TMO VVM app. So I uninstalled the app, got the tab to show, but all I get is a blank white box with a VM icon with a red exclamation point on it. Anyone else? Yeah, I could use the VVM app but...eff that. I want it in the dialer. ?
Oh, and if you go into the dialer settings > call settings > voicemail, it says "visual voicemail is not activated yet" but, uh, bruh, it totally is because the VVM app works (when installed).
I have the unlocked 6T and it's the same for me. I tried stock dialer and Google phone dialer, neither will activate VVM but the T-Mo VVM app works. It's not just the T-Mo 6T with this issue
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk
Lame. Maybe with root/ROMs we can cook in the Google dialer or something and get it to work as intended. Thanks for confirming it's not just me.
Ok guys I had this issue as well. I got mine working by using the latest Google dialer beta apk and doing the following:
1. If you have TMO Vvm or Google dialer(or both) apps installed, uninstall them.
2. Go to stock dialer app info and clear cache and data.
3. Go into the stock dialer settings and activate vvm. Reboot.
4. Install Google dialer and Grant all permissions.
5. Go into settings/apps/default apps and make Google dialer default.
6. GDialer settings voicemail make sure everything is on.

I have seen some similar issue in this thread but can't remember where exactly, but maybe check through it and or try the latest one patched in the OP. It also mentions for vvm in the dialer, you need to make it default app dialer.or maybe disable stock, I cant remember off the top of my head..just search through the thread .
