I agree, I was having voice mail issues with my Thunderbolt pre-root, I was getting double notifications Visual VM and standard and tried everything but could not turn it off.
I finally just moved to Google Voice. Now not only do I get transcribed voicemails, I also save 2.99/month on Verizons VVM. Oh yeah you can check your VM's on the web like Vonage too.

1. My Sprint number is tied directly to Google Voice via the built-in integration.
2. I have the EVO 3D.
Is there any reason why I would want to use/install the Google Voice application when I already get everything directly through it anyhow?
I'm pretty sure that in order to receive texts, you have to have the app installed.

Not if you leave it set to text your phone as well.
To the op only reason I have the app is to get voicemail
Thanks for the responses. I get and send text messages via the phone and it all shows up in Google Voice (the web portal). Voicemail is transcribed for me and then emailed directly - and I can still check it from my phone by holding 1. So it sounds like I don't need to install the app. Thanks for confirming
What about for international calls?
1) If someone calls me internationally, can I pick up with Google Voice wifi and not have to pay as much?
2) If I call a international number, is it cheaper if I initiate the call through the web UI?

Voicemail. I hate the stock voicemail interface.
Yup........voicemail. You pretty much get Visual Voicemail with it. How else are you supposed to retrieve your voicemails? Dialing your own number? This is 2011.
I decided not to install the app cause the MMS issue. All my texts/mms work fine but I dont receive visual voice mails. I still wont install the app cos its a pain in the ass to open the app for everything.
Might be a dumb question but how can I get the text to not go through voice and go to the stock messaging app so I don't have to open up voice to read my text I'm on mikg 2.3 and have an EVO

Your text will always go through Google voice once integrated, but there is a setting in the app and web page that lets them come in as regular texts as well. Mms always goes straight to the phone even if you integrate and install the app.
I prefer Google Voice for visual voicemail mostly because GV gives you free text transcription.
What I do is just have the option for text notification so my texts still go through the stock message program and I pretty much ignore GV for anything else. Now whenever I miss/ignore a call and I get a voicemail, I get a text from myself letting me know I have a voicemail and I can then open the app. A bit of that text also contains some of the transcribed voice message left and who it was from. This also helps save battery/data (unlimited plans yes I know) since I don't have to leave GV logged in all the time etc.
My only complaint is that I would like the text notifying me of the voice message to look as though it came from the person that called me instead of myself.
use it to answer you sms through google voice web page,
ie google.com/voice or the google voice extension. also phone calls too
I did not see a reason to use the Google Voice app for my integrated number. My texts and mms go though the native app, I get a text with the transcribed voicemail or I press and hold 1 to listen to them.
However I setup the Google Voice App with my other Google Voice number. So I can send and receive texts and listen to voicemails for a secondary number.
Also with the return of Sipdroid I setup the same Google Voice Number that is in the Google Voice App, now I have 2 fully functional lines.
For those that love the Google voicemail but hate the merged text messaging, you need to login to Google voice, unnassociate your phone and install the "lite" version.
Do not chose the Integrate with Sprint option.

Disable inbox notification in GV app and enable text notification. Everything is logged in GV but text come through your regular app. I still have to checkout voice mail. I believe if voice mail notification is set to text to your phone, everything will be notified though regular messaging app and you can open GV app to get your voice mails.
Yup, like donnie said. I can delete texts off my phone, but they're also backed up on Google voice.

Just confirming, if you enable text notification and disable inbox notification in GV application, you get everything through text message. You will have to open GV application to listen voice mail but for text default application will be used. Everything is still logged into google voice.

+1 Google voice
It has so many features that att voicemail can't do. It will transcribe your message so you can read it, it can automatically send that transcription to you via text or email. You can choose the order of playback of your messages, and you can rewind or fast forward them.

+2 for google voice. The transcription isn't perfect, but any errors are usually really easy to figure out.
I've had a google voice number since it wasn't even google voice (grandcentral), I've played with it off and on over the years but never used it. They've added a few features!
Installed the app on the my android for the first time yesterday and yea i'll +3 that for the visual voicemail.
Thanks everyone!
love my google voice once you get it set up.. just sit back and enjoy
+1 for Google voice, I tried Youmail and it seemed like there was always a delay in notification.
i used to have Youmail back in my BB days. But +10000 for google voice. Its much better, IMO.
I use the Phonefusion app. It's free and also does transcription. Seems to work fine, although the app is ugly as sin. I have Google Voice as well, but I don't use it as my main voice mail.
The AT&T Messages app will do VVM with your native mail and give you some other Google voice type functions. I don't like the delay for google voice vmail to pick up if you don't reject the call.

I'm running Peetr's Hybrid rom and noticed that It doesn't have a built in voicemail handling app. So if someone leaves me a voicemail I just get a really wierd text message instead. I was using PF voicemail for call forwarding and voicemail since I was having major service coverage issues and that will tell you missed calls no matter what. But I don't want to use that anymore since it's slow and I'm having problems with it. So my question is. What do I use for voicemail? Is there anything similar to that visual voicemail app that originally came with my phone? Free would be great but if it works I would shell out a couple bucks.
I'm wondering the same thing. I'm using the AOKP JB Rom (thx 3bill) and get multiple text messages for each voicemail. Personally, I loved the visual voicemail that came stock and I'm hoping there's a way to port it in. You can still check your voicemail though just by dialing yourself. BTW, how do you like that Rom as I haven't tried it yet but am loving the AOKP one?
Well this rom is about as good as it gets for me since I have a locked bootloader. But it is very nice compared to stock. I'm using Google voice right now for voice mail and it works pretty good so far. I just wish my texts didn't show up in it at all.

I use Google Voice. It's very configurable. When a voicemail comes in it can notify you by text, e-mail, etc. plus the standard functions you had with visual voicemail that came with the phone. The key is to go into Google Voice web site settings and prevent it from prescreening your calls and handling your texts.

Yep. I just found that out today. I was wondering why the hell it kept asking me to press numbers to answer my calls.

You can turn that off in settings. Not on the app, but on the website. It refers to feature as 'call screening'.
Does anyone know how to get google voice voicemails to show up in the touchwiz dialer(I have the setting checked in GV)? Evidently, they don't play well together. Is there a work around?
bump
As long as I can remember google voice notifications only appear in the pulldown notification area as notifications from google voice as an app. I am not aware of any dialer integration other than for when making calls the option to run the call through google voice.
Prior to using google voice there would be a message waiting indicator that would only clear once you dialed your vm and listened to your new messages, this is somthing that to my understanding is only able to be controlled by your carrier not an app.
Hope this helps!

I am looking for the same functionality. For those that may not know exactly what is stated in OP, Google voice has an option for voice mails to appear under the call log with the option to playback workout using GV. It works under AOSP roms. This functionality would be great on stock touchwiz, bit its not a deal breaker for me. Interested if anyone has found a way.

I've had this phone since day 1 and Google Voice has never worked properly. Yes, callers do reach GV. GV emails me to inform me that I have a new voice-mail. But I don't get the actual Google Voice notification in my status bar. Everything in my settings seems to be set up properly. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I dont think GV has a notification. It all gets sent to your gmail account.
I get notification emails and through Google voice. I have had mine since day 1, and haven't had any problems with Google voice. Here are a few screenshots

Are you coming from sprint they integrate Google voice differently then the other carriers
