Anyway to get iPhone like visual voicemail on the Galaxy S? I am with AT&T.
Also the email client really sucks for corporate (Exchange) integration, you guys have any suggestions?

There are a few apps that will do it but I use T-Mobile's VM my buddy uses his Google voice number only and thats built in.
Do a market search for the others
Okay thanks for the info.
I got Google Voice working, seems with my ulocked phone AT&T will not allow "conditional call forwarding " enabled on my account (so they tell me).
I had them manually set busy, unanswered and rejected calls to my Google voice.
This means, while google voice works, i have to call them each time i need to disable call forwarding instead of letting Google voice do it automatically.
But now i have visual voicemail working just fine. Actually it is better than the Iphone.
Now i just have to find a good email and calendar app that works well with exchange 2007 (like the Iphone).

I use GV's visual vm with GV, on AT&T.
Access through a browser your GV account settings and forward from there. It works perfectly.

So you're using the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail App on your Galaxy S with AT&T service?
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.

Does it have a visual counter icon by any chance or something along the lines of even a widget?
I know Tmobil Visual Voicemail doesn't have a counter.

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.

The phone I have is for a S4 AT&T but I wish there was a counter.

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.
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.

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.

Gotcha. I had to double check I did find out that there's a Premium version for $2.99. I have Basic which is Free for me. Obviously as we established currently not working on my 6P and I'm using YouMail. LOL

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.

Thanks for the reply. I actually did already have this checked, and the phone log does receive voicemails, but deleting from the log doesn't seem to delete from the Voice app itself, or move it to the trash folder...does it for you?

I hope they update the app sometime soon I miss the visual voicemail and won't use another service. I mean myverizon app works. Hell I'd be happy if someone hacked the apk to work if thats even possible.
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!
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.

Would still prefer to use that old VVM app... Used it fine on Moto x pure
Any trouble migrating?

I am coming from a nexus5x and used google voice. For some reason it isn't working now. Same #.
Update: Resubmitted the forwarding requests and things are working. Might have been due to the switch to HD voice with this phone.

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).

I am on Oreo Beta 1 and when I set it up last week no Verizon Visual Voicemail. I went into phone dialer, accidentally hit the voicemail tab and was was asked to agree to Verizon's terms for voicemail. I disabled my forwarding to Google voice and tried leaving myself a message through Verizon. It worked. Phone version is 14.0.176716531.
Native vvm working on Verizon for me. Make sure it's on your account too...
Does anybody have their phone on the Sprint network, and have the Voicemail tab on the dialer? Or using any other visual voicemail app?
Thanks!

Nope. By the way, do you know if Sprint has any spam id or spam blocking like TMobile and MetroPCS?
I'm on the Nexus 6 with Sprint but if you didn't know Google Voice is partnered with Sprint and you can use your Sprint # with the Google Voice App which has visual voicemail, also can use Hangouts Dialer for voice letting you make/recieve calls over LTE/WiFi. Also the Google Voice app in Settings has a Block Spam Calls/Text/Voicemail check-box.
