After recently switching to cricket from sprint (to save money) I managed to transfer all the apps I wanted to keep except for my beloved visual voicemail.
the Sprint visual voicemail did not work on cricket.
So I am wondering, does anyone have or know if there IS a VVM app for cricket?? i have the lg optimus c
Most of your prepaid carriers like Cricket and Virgin dont offer visual voicemail.
Google voice works, just choose a gv # with same area code
Has anyone had any issues with missing incoming calls on their 6P? I have missed 3 calls (while I was connected to WIFI) which I found out about because I got a voicemail but my phone never rang. The people that called said my phone rings for about 25 seconds before going to voice mail. Do the APN settings have anything to do with calls or just messages? Any other ideas?
you messed with your APN settings? i've done that on my '13 X. if you selected to only be on LTE vs. CDMA + LTE, you're going to miss calls.

I have my preferred network type set to Global. Should I change it To LTE/CDMA?
APN is set to VZWINTERNET. I didn't change any of the settings within that APN.
The weird thing is, some calls do come through but not all of them.
oh i thought you went in to the hidden menu.
I get an issue that I don't get a voice mail indicator...I get some scrambled VWZ text message.

I am having the exact same issue and am looking for any solutions. I don't get the notification in the bar and if I miss that the text is there I miss the voicemail. Since I use my cell for work, this is an issue.

It is the result of you having visual voice mail and not having the visual voice mail app. You need to turn off visual voice mail in your verizon account and use basic voice mail or find the verizon visual voice mail app.

I don't have visual voicemail enabled. I just tested it and I'm getting the same issue still.

I honestly couldn't tell you how, their website is such a mess. You might have better luck calling.

You have basic visual voicemail enabled. It comes automatically with a Verizon HD voice/advanced calling package that enables VOLTE. Until a visual voicemail app is released for this phone from Verizon you will have to use google voice for voicemail through hangouts. Works great. or you can call Verizon and see if they can downgrade you to the normal (call in) voicemail you were used to but not sure if it is possible. i have heard mixed reviews as to whether they can do that.

Youmail is a good alternative. I used that for my voice mail for a few years.
Im having the same problem I know I have basic voicemail. No voicemail notification just some cryptic sms

Oh that's annoying that Visual Voice Mail is bundled with Advanced Calling 1.0! Just tested it by removed Advanced Calling 1.0 and I guess the normal voicemail notification now.
I guess I rather deal with the annoying text messages than to lose the ability to simultaneously use voice and data.

where were you able to find that option?
I've been noticing missed calls while on WiFi but I'm on T-Mobile
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA Free mobile app

I would also appreciate a cheat note on how to do disable Visual Voicemail. Hell, with this new Dialer, I can't even figure out how to get into the dialer settings to update the *86 voicemail number with my pin, and I've been an Android user since Froyo, so Marshmellow has kicked my but!
But back to my most serious concern, I need Advanced Calling, so if it is kills two birds with one stone, I'd be happy to have standard voicemail since that's all I ever used. Then Verizon and Google will hopefully sort out how to enable Visual Voicemail *and* Advanced Calling too. But for now, please share any secret menus previously mentioned so I can disable Visual Voicemail! :fingers-crossed:
Update #2: Turns out Verizon's Visual Voicemail and Advanced Calling are not related, but I did learn that Advanced Calling also enables HD Voice. It turns out that the Advanced Calling feature isn't enabled on a NEXUS 6p when activated via the nano sim on Verizon. Calling the support line is the only alternative to correct this. After a restarting, Verizon called me back, and I had Data while on the phone.
I'm going to mess around with different Visual Voicemail options before switching back to Basic Voicemail, and I'll update again if I find something.
The Visual Voicemail issues is weird. First, I get indecipherable text messages. Then when I get another phone call after a voicemail, it pops up as my Google Now Card notification for drive time to work, and there is no way to answer the call! I had to reboot to clear that.
Thanks,
Ed Janx
Update: So I downloaded the Verizon Mobile App which has the ability to change your features, including Voice Mail options, but it wouldn't let me select Basic Voice Mail, and instructed me to call *611 . No time for that now, but wanted to provide a quick update.

I found it while working out my voice mail junk here. Open the dialer, in the "search contacts & places" search window at top, press the three dots, select Settings, Calls, Voicemail. Then you can update the voicemail number (not sure about the PIN function though). This has been bugging me as well, only was getting the weird SMS messages. Was able to select basic voicemail using the My Verizon App though (was able to select all of the 3 options for voicemail with the My Verizon app too). So waiting till they update their apps to 6.0 and hope they work then.

I ended up opening a ticket with tier 2 tech support. (thats who they addressed themselves as). First day i didn't think advanced calling worked but i missed that i wasn't connected to LTE but once i did get LTE it worked my bad.... But the voicemail they couldn't figure out. after three days of no call back. I got someone else from tier 2 support and he got my voicemail to work while I was calling from the 6p. finally happy to have regular voicemail notifications and not those cryptic sms messages

I switched to the Google Voice Visual Voicemail and am very happy. Still, I did call Verizon tech and instruct them to switch me back to basic voice mail. Now I can at least I can switch the phone VM back to Verizon, listen to saved messages, then switch back to the Google Voice. Still, I really wish Verizon would just update their Visual Voicemail app to work with the Nexus 6p, as that way I could retrieve some of those 'precious memory voice mails' I've saved for years, then save them digitally.

Can someone comment on whether visual voicemail works outside of the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app IF I DISABLE the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app (using package disabler)?
I noticed the Samsung phone app has visual voicemail, is it going to work if I disable the Tmo app?
Thanks!
I figured it out after about an hour of testing.
The stock Samsung phone app's Visual Voicemail works fine, so it's perfectly safe to delete Tmo's voicemail app. BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT you have to first open Tmo's app, allow everything, and get it all set up (e.g. get past everything so that you're able to listen to an actual voicemail). Probably load one voicemail just to be safe. Then it's OK to delete the app and just rely on the Visual Voicemail and notification functionality of Samsung's stock phone app.
Turns out that's wrong and it's still a cluster****. It worked, but if you restart the phone it's broken again. If anyone figures it out please leave a reply as this thread will likely be viewed by people over the next year or so.
The Samsung ROM has visual voicemail built in, and it's specifically Tmo's visual voicemail functionality on this Tmo variant model. So it should do visual voicemail fine without the branded T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app which is so non-necessary that it even lets you uninstall it.
only v voice mail that i have is t mobile v voice mail. i don't have any other additional apps for v voice mail. Why do you want to remove t mobile version?
I'm on TMobile and I got TMobile's variant of the S8 Plus. When I press the VM button in the dialer, it just calls the VM number. What does your Samsung ROM VVM look like? Are you on TMobile's variant?
Is it possible to use the native Samsung dialer visual voicemail or not? I take it not possible like it is on ATT?
I just signed up for Verizon prepaid and everything except Visual voicemail works fine.
But when i turn on Visual voicemail i get a message on the voicemail tab that says visual voicemail not fully activated, and it doesn't progress from there.
Please see attached pic.
Does anyone have a trick to getting it activated?
Thank you!

Happens on my 6 with T-Mobile as well. The actual app works, just not in the dialer
For me, VVM on T-Mobile has always worked fine from within the dialer. I'd like to switch to Verizon though because of coverage issues in my area.
