Can anyone confirm if the 6T works with visual voice mail on Verizon?
Thank you
It works with basic VVM. Haven't tried premium for voice transcription.
What do you have to do to make regular VVM work? Is it a setting on the account that the service reps have to turn on?
Mine says visual voicemail not activated and when i called tech support they said it is not supported with this phone, which i find hard to believe.
Works on mine too. Have you jumped through the hoops of getting your phone fixed in the system as "CDMA-less"? After I had that done by a tier 2 rep everything was working fine.
I didn't have to go through setting up CDMA-less, etc. The IMEI came right up in their database, and text, calls and data worked. The only thing that won't work is the VVM.
I called tech support once and they said it was incompatible with this phone. I called again and the next tech said that there is no Visual Voice mail on the prepaid plan, only the postpaid...
On you on prepaid Morpheus?
Premium VVM works fine over here.

Basic visual voicemail is free on Verizon. All you have to do is go into "Phone", "Settings", "Call settings", "SIM x (Verizon)", "Voicemail", then enable "Visual voicemail". It may have required me to get a new voicemail to accept Verizon's terms and conditions. It will then be on the menu stripe within "Phone" towards the top.
First time I have used this feature on any phone. Works very well.

Yes. well the mx player apk can be the big partner for every work verizon.

Coming from an iPhone on AT&T, I'm looking for any solutions for visual voicemail on the N4. Does it only work on phones officially supported/sold by AT&T? Any solutions without redirecting my voicemail to another provider such as Google Voice?
I don't see at&t's visual voicemail app in the play store but you might be able to side load it just fine (if your on the LTE data plan that includes visual voicemail). Or, just go with Google voice. Why don't you want to use that? I've used it on many phones for a few years now and it works just fine. Never had an issue with it.
There's also apps like youmail, etc. but behave like Google voice AFAIK

+1 on the G Voice. I was in the same boat as you (iPhone 4 on AT&T) and switched to G Voice with the Nexus. Haven't looked back. Also, if you used Voice on iOS it's completely different and integrated tighter on Android.
Ah, there's an AT&T Visual Voicemail app... It didn't occur to me to check the play store first. And there's also an AT&T Messages app too that cannot be used at the same time as the AT&T VVM app. I'm not sure what plan exactly I'm on, when I called them I told them to provision my SIM for 4G/LTE (APN: phone) even though I know the N4 is not an LTE phone, but wanted to make sure LTE is available if I move the SIM to a different phone.
Based on the reviews I'm not sure I want to mess with either of these 2 apps
I'll try and live without VVM for a while and then consider using GV if I must have it.
Just use GVoice. The att VVM app doesn't work well on non-specifically supported devices. I have a vivid right now and even though the vivid is a supported device, the custom ROM I'm running doesn't like the VVM app. GVoice works great though and has so many options like setting different greetings for different groups/people.

Are you prepaid? I've heard, at least from a friend on T-Mobile Monthly4G prepaid plans that they're unable to use the conditional call forwarding settings. The network denies the change.
Can somebody point me on a good tutorial for GVoice? Can get it to work... AT&T regular iPhone plan before..

I ran into this. I had to go into google voice on the phone and disable it,?. Then the number you must call using your phone will go through. Sorry, can't remember exactly, but you must inter that mmi number before you have it set up on your phone...

Has anyone figured out a way to side load a working AT&T VVM .apk? Yes, I know gvoice is an option but I prefer to try to keep all vm's under AT&T.

I decided that I can live without VVM, I just do it the old school long press 1 now... At some point I think I will port my mobile number to GV and get it over with, which will also get me ready for the rumored Google cell service late next year.
The N4 is not officially supported by the AT&T VVM app, but it may or may not work. You'd have to find a recent apk from someone and just install it on your N4. Then you have to call AT&T as they have to enable the VVM feature for you. If you already put the correct N4 IEMI on your account they will probably not do it, they will say your unknown device is not supported. If they don't pay attention, they might enable the feature anyway. If you go through the pain, let us know what you found out.

Good news is that I have not added the N4's IMEI on the account, it still has my GS3 listed. I will give AT&T a call and have them add my IMEI and the VVM feature to my account and if all goes well, they will get it done. I saw a .apk floating around here a few months ago, not sure if that is still the current package or not but I'll report back and let you know of my experience.
I'd look for a very recent apk, the LG Optimus G is a supported device for VVM so chances are it may also work on the N4.

Upload the apk to the phone and then install the apk on the device. Once installed, reboot device. Once rebooted, open the ATT voicemail app so it can call home and configure itself. I'm using an international version of the motorola razr hd and ATT VVM app works just fine for me.
Just note, you won't be able to get the apk from google play. you'll need to search the interwebz for the apk.
One thing to note, if you're not using an AT&T branded phone, you do have to use workarounds for installing ATT VVM app.
Curious as to how to make it work. At first I couldnt even download the apk from the play store as it said wasnt compatible with my device. Got the apk elsehwere on this site and still cant get past the missing voicemail password screen.
I, too, am having trouble getting VVM to work.
Is anyone using visual voicemail?
Is it setup on your account through at&t? AFAIK, its a feature that has to be "turned on", much like a data plan, etc. if you have an "LTE" phone (so, an lte imei) you should be able to get your account provisioned for lte and visual voicemail. But even after all this, its still may not work. Worth the try though unless someone else has gotten it to work elsewhere.
Take what I said with a grain of salt, I could be wrong, but think this is how that vvm works.
Edit: alternatively, Google voice's visual voicemail works on this phone.

Att's VVM is a two step headache when it comes to android. First, you need to have it provisioned on your account and then the app only works on approved phones. It worked just fine on my vivid when it was stock, but once rooted and on a custom ROM, the app didn't work anymore. I started using GV and have been much happier with it.

You don't have to. I still use my mobile number for everything, but have my voicemails forwarded to Google voice. If you have a Google voice number, just download the GV app and let it set up your voicemail. People will call your main number, but GV picks up to leave a message. The caller will not know the difference and you still get your voicemails to your phone. You can even have GV display the voicemails right in the call log.

This is exactly what I did as well. Use my regular number for making and receiving calls, unanswered calls forwarded to Google Voice (using **004* number), then set "Do Not Disturb" in Google Voice so that all calls go straight to voicemail.
Now, people calling me hear 4 rings (the usual number of rings) and if I don't answer, it immediately plays my GV greeting and a beep for the message.
Using the integration to the phone's call log even gives me a "Play" button right along with missed call notifications. It's pretty sweet and I highly recommend it.
Anyone figure this out yet? I tried to download the Visual Voicemail from the Play Store and it shows as non-compatible. I tried the older Visual Voice Mail for Nexus by Verizon and it doesn't set up, it just hangs. I've been getting these weird text messages every time I get a voicemail (900080006202 //VZWVVM:SYNC:ev....). I have to dial *86 to retrieve messages.
I set up Google Voice on mine and I'm on VZW. I haven't fully tested it yet, but I have the history of previous voicemail all downloaded again in the app, so it looks like it's working.

visual voicemail is a problem. i had it turned off and basic turned on now i get the normal voicemail notification.. i was getting the same cryptic sms messages.
I called CS and told them to turn off VVM and just leave basic. I'm still getting the cryptic text messages and there is no way for me to know if I have a voice mail waiting. I'll try again and report back.
I was on the phone with tier 2 tech support this morning. We downloaded a couple apps. Couldn't get any of them to work. He didn't have any idea how long it will take to get it. He said continue to check for updates. Eventually, something will be released. I remember it took awhile for the N6 app to be released from Motorola.
I use phone fusion now. The transcription service is much better than youmail or Google voice. The app isn't so great, but it does the trick.

I talked to another CS rep and he successfully removed VVM. With basic voice mail, I no longer get the cryptic text messages and now I get prompted when there is voice mail waiting. I then successfully configured Google Voice to handle my voicemails and now my voice mails appear in the native dialer's voice mail tab after I selected the "Voicemail display" option in the Google Voice app. All is well and will await VZW's support for the 6P.
I've been using youmail for a couple of years now. I've never used VVM from verizon. They take enough of my money.... Not giving them another dime over what I have to. Youmail is free. I've liked it. Not for everyone but worth a try
For my Nexus 6p on Verizon I had to get google voicemail, change to GV for default VM in Call settings, and dial *71XXXXXXX (GV number). The text should not appear now that GV will pick up the notification. This means voicemail will be saved in your GV and not on Verizon. Until Verizon includes 6p as a compatible device for its visual voicemail app, this would be the solution. FYI, there is a visual voicemail Nexus that we can download. That doesn't work either.

Yeah, I just chatted with CS and asked them to remove Visual Voice Mail from my line. Once She did that i stopped getting the odd texts and started getting the regular notifications again.
I managed to get the visual voicemail that I backed up from my 6. it shows in my apps but when you try to open This app is not supported on this device. I hope verizon can update it or someone hack the apk to make it work.

So, I spoke a little too soon on this one lol.
I spent all day yesterday trying to get it to work. What finally worked for me was going on my desktop to the Google Voice website, and from there, disabling voicemail for my line and then re-enabling. For some reason, the number the site had me punch in for *71XXXXXXXXXX, where the X's represent your Google number, was different than what both my app and what the Google Voice homepage on my desktop showed. Works great now. (Except I'd like to figure out how to sync the voicemail screen in the Phone app with the GV app.)

What a pain. I was also receiving the cryptic text messages. I spent about 30 minutes in chat with Verizon. They actually told me the phone was not supported on their network. They claimed "The imei number should begin with 35 or 99". "It does not work in our system. That device imei number is registered to a Huawei" I explained who Huawei was and that the phone worked fine except for voice mail. I got Google Voice setup while I was in chat. They never would acknowledge that this phone should work fine. They did finally say "If it recognized the device, I am sure the visual voicemail problems would disappear!" and "check back with us within a few days just to see if there is an update!"

The product known as Verizon Visual Voicemail is not free in my experience. They charge $2.99 per month to use it. The new Android Visual Voicemail built into Marshmallow is free, once Verizon supports it. This maybe obvious to you, but just throwing it out there for anyone else that comes across this.

To sync the phone dialer voicemail screen with GV, you have to open up GV and in settings tick the box for Voicemail display.

Yeah now that I've figured out Google voice. It's great having it right in the dialer and also having the ability to get transcripts (although often poorly) in the app and my email is awesome. It just seems so natural with the nexus. Doubt I'll go back. It's free, just a pain to set up initially. Seamless now. Key is logging into Google voice on the desktop to get it set up properly.

Get Google Voice texts & voicemails in Hangouts
I use Google Voice instead of Verizon for my voicemail. You can get Google Voice texts & voicemails in Hangouts on the web and app: link for help
On my Nexus 6p, I get my voicemail in the Hangouts apps, no need to install Google Voice. Voicemail audio/transcription appear in Hangouts. I have a Pebble watch, I can read my voicemail messages on my wrist.
Hope this helps!
For those Verizon users on this phone, what so you use for visual VM? Google voice or the vzw paid service? I'm open to either but mainly just want good quality transcriptions

TBH. I think the paid Verizon app is where it's at
I gotta agree with aaronpw0621. And it's hard for me to recommend a Verizon "feature," because I think most of their stuff is bloatware garbage (like VZ Navigator).
I've tried using things like Google Voice, which forwards unanswered calls from your phone to Google Voice (for recording voicemails, and transcription). I've also had a lot of people say that they can't leave voicemail, or some glitch happens where they disconnect.
I also tried Verizon's variant of VVM, and it works fantastically well. Does exactly what you expect it to do (record voicemail, transcribe, notify you of new voicemail) and does it flawlessly. It even accepts faxes for you, and converts them to PDF.
If you're looking for a great, flawless VVM app, and are willing to pay the $3 per month, go with Verizon's VVM.
I've never had any complaints about Google Voice and have been using it for years.
I will say though, sometimes the transcripts are really wonky.
And once in awhile a message won't be transcoded at all, or just be delayed.
You need to ensure you set it up properly every time you flash a new ROM.
I'll forget to sometimes and naturally it won't work until I do.
I've never used any other visual voicemail type service so I can't compare it to anything.
I do like being able to manage my voicemails at voice.google.com too.
I'm missing voicemails. What app are you guys using to check and get VM? I pay 2.99 a month for VVM and can't get it working
Google Voice. Visual voicemail absolutely free.
I use YouMail. Custom greetings per caller. Had it for many years.

This! I have TMobile and VM is free, but if I didn't have it, I'd use YouMail. It's awesome, I used it when I had Verizon.
I've had YouMail since 2008. Elbert Fudd reads porn is my favorite greeting to use. Just have to be careful who gets that one. I pay $5/month so I don't have to delete calls (well, up to 1,000 now).
