I don't know exactly when it started, but it's been at least a month. I can't get visual voicemail to work with any dialer app on custom roms.
Whenever someone calls me and leaves a voicemail, I have to dial the number and listen to voicemails like it's 1999.
But if I flash the factory image, it magically works.
I tried downloading the factory image and using the flash-all file to wipe the phone and start over. After doing that, I have working visual voicemail on stock AOSP. But if I flash a custom rom, it stops working again.
I've tried wiping cache and data, and rebooting, but still nothing.
The only way it works is on stock AOSP.
I don't know what else to try. Help?
Is Sprint your carrier?
Nope, I'm on T-Mobile.

Sprint's my carrier. Does that mean I can't have visual voicemail?

Im running Sky raider vanilla RC2 but I want to have visual voicemail i there any way for me to load that into the rom?
I was trying to figure this out too. What I did was setup google voice to retrieve my voicemails. It's nice because you dont need to actually have the voice part setup. You can use it only for voicemail. Transcribes them for you in text messages.....Works well.

Could you elaborate how you did this? I have no experience with GVoice but that sounds fantastically useful.
You can always just download Verizons VVM app from the market just do a search for Verizon Wireless

I'm running SR 3.0 Vanilla and there's no Verizon Visual Voicemail in the market. This has been the case for a long time with SR's Vanilla-ish ROMs. Using Google Voice seems like the only possible solutions. I'm not a fan of it, I prefer the VVM.

Jesus Christ I was wrong. Sorry about that. I searched everything except Verizon Wireless in the past. He is correct. Search Verizon Wireless and you will see it. I've always tried voicemail and visual voicemail, just knockoffs appeared.

Back again. It claims your phone already has Visual Voicemail installed and forces you to uninstall the download. Any solutions?

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.
Have you tried Google Voice? I don't believe that you get a counter, but there is a widget.

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.

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.

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

Why not share with us the steps sprint tech support utilized to return your phone to original voicemail?

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

So what do you have in the bottom left corner of your phone keypad currently? Is the icon still there? If you click it what happens?

You did not mention that. Not sure how your going to call Sprint to remove the app when you are on ATT? You will have to take a chance on disabling it.

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'm using my 6T on AT&T. On my previous phone (an HTC One m7 that I used for 5 years), I used a MMI code to increase the time before unanswered calls go to voicemail. The code includes the phone number that the calls are forwarded to. I tried to get that number by using the code *#61# but it returned "Not Forwarded" on all call types. I dug into Call Settings>Call Forwarding and all the settings are set to "Off". If I go into any of the settings it prompts to enter a forwarding number. Is it just me or does everybody else's phone not show this info?
When I do get a call that goes unanswered, it is forwarded to voicemail and I'm notified and am able to retrieve it, either by calling my voicemail box or using the visual voicemail app. So voicemail is working normally. I just find it odd that I'm not able to get the forwarding number information. Is this because the phone is not AT&T branded/certified?
Do these MMI code things still work like they used to? Or have things changed & I'm not able to modify this setting any longer?
I am having the same issue. When trying the codes or going into settings I get the same results error. Never had this issue with my other phones. Did u add the IMEI to att? Just wondering cause I didn't. Using the imei of my galaxy s6.

It would be nice to figure this out.
I have a US996 and have been on A-O ROM, android version 8.0, for over 1 year. My voicemail notifications worked fine.
I recently reset my phone and went back through setting up Google on it and restoring my apps and all. Now if I miss a call, I have to check to the voicemail by calling *86 since there is no longer any notification sound or notification indication on my phone.
What setting am I missing to get those back?
(No, I never used Verizon's Visual Voicemail or any app like that. And I have not made any changes to my Verizon account recently).

Thank you for your reply.
I'm on the US996 using the A-O US996 ROM. I'm not on a Verizon ROM. I'm not after the Visual Voicemail. And I don't see voicemail.apk in the ROM anywhere.
I'm just after the notification when I get a voicemail. Then I can call in the *86. But I don't want to have to guess if I have a voicemail and check it without there being one.
I'm using the LG phone app. In it, I have the settings for Voicemail as :
Service: My carrier
Setup: *86
Notification Sound: (one I chose)
South with vibration: on

I personally have the visual one installed and when I get a notification for a voice mail, I click on it and it takes me to the visual one, then I listen and delete ect. As for location it might be in the priv-apps in system folder of extracted. I'm also on stock Nougat, but same for RR-pie.
I didn't see the voicemail.apk in the Rom. Perhaps because it's not a Verizon based rom. My phone is the unlocked, not Verizon based.
If I were to find a voicemail.apk, would it work on the non-Verizon like that?

This is mine on Nougat from stock based classic rom. It might work for you. I found in priv-apps folder in the vtt-Sprint folder. Yours may be in same area near bottom of list. I am not sure tho because I am not on that rom.
That won't work since I'm on Verizon. I didn't find any VTT apk or anything in the ROM.
I'm sure it's a setting or something I'm missing doing.
I just wish I knew what I was forgettng to turn back on.

So, coudln't get the "Visual Voicemail" to work.
I don't need it to work. I just need the notification when I get a voicemail. Then I can check it manually.
Does anyone know what setting i'm missing to get the notification for a new voicemail that I need to check manually?
