I'm using a rooted Bell S2 (with Galaxy_S Unlock) on Telus.
I can't access my voicemail as no number is being read off the SIM.
The error is: "No voicemail is stored on SIM"
If I choose ADD NUMBER you can't add anything.
Anyone else run into this problem and if so, how did you fix it.
Much thanks!
Same problem here. I have just stored the Voicemail number in my contacts.
Go to Menu, Settings, Call, Voicemail, Voice mail number. You can edit the number there.
Amazingly simple Thanks
You're welcome

No I can't. That's the problem. Any suggestions?
yup same problem, it will not allow me to edit it.... but i have a number there.
anyone know how to edit the number ??
Well the voicemail number is stored on the SIM card, so stick your sim in a different phone and edit it there.
ok, will try that, hmmmm.... need to find a nother cell that takes a sim (i am on Bell and all my old phones had no sim!
i was hoing there was an easy way of doing it on the SGS2

When I long press the #1 key on the dialpad, it dials the AT&T system voicemail number. I am using Google Voice for my voicemail services, and I would like to be able to call in to GV using the #1 key, to access my account, but can't seem to find any way to change the phone number assignment for that key. Is it possible to change it, and if so, how? Thanks.
Don't know if its this easy on yours but on my I9100 you go in to 'settings', then 'call', then at the bottom 'voicemail'.
That's how I change my voicemail number anyway

Thanks for the reply. When I go there, I have two options: Voicemail number (which has my Google Voice number), and Sign out. When I press on Voicemail number, I get an error message "Error-forwarding number change failed." Can't do anything else.
BTW, my phone is an I727 Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, but I thought I would ask anyway. Thanks.
First off you should have started with stating a phone model that is essentially operator phone (only rogers and att) so who knows what's locked or not. Second make sure your operator supports gsm standard codes and has call forwarding option. Don't have att so iono? Third, your phone has its own subforum so best ask there. Good luck!

I am having trouble changing the voicemail number on my Galaxy S2. At present pressing the voicemail speeddail does nothing other then prompting me to add my voicemail number and directs me to the settings app.
If I try to change it in Settings > Call settings, I get the error message 'Voice Mail Number change unsuccesful'. But no real reason why it happens and its annoying me greatly as I can't clear my voicemail counter without it and what not >_<
Tried power cycling and what not and neither of it has helped, so has anyone of you gotten any idea as to how I can add it to my phone or fix that stupid error. Any help or advice short of doing a full reset is more then welcome, and I do hope someone might be able to help me....
Thanks in advance.
There is a copy of your voice mailbox number on the sim card that may conflict with what you are trying to do.
Talk to your provider, they can flush your mailbox and allow you to reset the number.
How can they flush my sim card, or am I reading your comment wrong?.
Just for clarifying I changed provider on my phone and I am unsure wether the error happened during that change since I can't remember fiddling with the voicemail bit before the last couple of days and running into that error.
they can flush the settings for your voicemail on their server which will allow you to make changes to your voice mail account.
Well they tried something which advertantly didn't work >_<. But apparently the voicemail number isn't even on my simcard.
They tried even more stuff >_<.
And when I press and hold #1 on my phone it says there isnt a voicemail number on my sim. But trying to change it through settings it still says "Voicemail Number changed unsuccesful"
I have the same problem. Did you find a solution?
At the moment I have limited the issue to being operator dependant. Because I have the issue on one sim from my regular provider, while trying two other providers simcards doesnt cause this error.
Next on list is to try another simcard and then go digging in the phone to see what might be causing it. But I will be pinging you if I find the solution.
dnesdlrow, where are you from and what provider do you use?.
I've got the same problem. I flashed to a custom & now there is no voicemail number on my SIM card.
I called customer service and the gave me a 10 digit number to plug in. They said the number is different for everyone so if anyone else has the same trouble you can simply call your carrier.
You need to put in your carriers specific voice mail number. For example I am on O2 UK and mine is 901.
Use google of contact your carrier for the number.

Hello,
I had a similar issue. I changed the plan on my phone, and afterward the voicemail didn't work when I did a long press on the #1 button. It kept saying that there was no voicemail number, and when I tried to enter it into the settings manually it kept saying "Voicemail number change unsuccessful."
I called Rogers and they gave me a new voicemail number; I could dial it and set up my voicemail, but when I tried to program it into the dedicated #1 speed dial spot, I still could not change it. I tried copying it to my SIM card and adding it as a contact to select for the speed dial slot, but that didn't work either. I suspected that this new number was conflicting with the SIM card, so I went to Rogers and asked for a new one. Despite some resistance, they gave it a shot, and it worked perfectly thereafter. Just be sure to copy your contacts over to your phone before getting a new SIM!
I hope this solution works for others too!
Cheers and good luck!
Help please ...
I too am trying to set my voicemail for the speed dial "1" key.
while at the keypad screen:-
menu-> call setting -> scroll to the heading "voicemail", option "voicemal service", is set default to "my carrier".
I then choose to change the "voicemail settings" -> "voicemail number", and enter the new voicemail number to dial, press ok .... and this is where the problem is...
When I press OK ... I get the following error "Voicemail number change unsuccessful"
I would like to to have this number changed , as every time manually dial my voicemail number it constantly ask for my password.
Why is this happening, I have purchased this phone outright, it is model type i9300, running Android 4.1.2.
Hopefully this can be an easy fix...?
PS...
This also causes a problem with Australian virtual mobile carriers, like Amaysim, Kogan, Aldi, who use Telstra & Optus as there underlying carriers, and and also will cause issues when travelling abroad, because you will not be able to access your voicemail if the number can not be changed to the full international dialing equivalent..
Also Can't Change the Voicemail number
I'm running a non-rooted, GS3 from VZW. Running 4.1.2.
The current voicemail number is *86 (Verizon's). I'd like to change it because I'm abroad and *86 is not my carrier's voicemail number. Every time I go to Phone, Call Settings, Voicemail Settings, and edit the number to the local one, I get "Error: Voicemail number change unsuccesful."
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Same problem still
I'm on an S4 Mini with cm11 m6 and habe the same problem with a German T-Mobile card. I can easily dial the number 3311. Why can't I simply assign that to the #1 key?
I've seen some other people say they had this problem, but no solution other than "I did it a lot and then it worked". When I go to change the voicemail provider I get the warning/error, hit yes, and get "forwarding number failed to change". Does anyone know how I can get this to work?
you need to manually put your gvoice number in forwarding options. this will change your carrier number to gvoice, but carrier name won't chahne. don't worry gvoicemail will work thou. I assume you are on stock. Also, check the ATT visual voicemail thread somewhere here it was also discussed there.
hmm I changed it to my access number already, and that didn't work... I'll try again and check out the att vvm threads. Thanks
i used google voice strictly for voicemail on my sgs2 just fine, but when i try to set it up on my stock htc one it wont let me, and says it fails to get the carrier number or something.. does anyone here have it running successfully?
Mine does the same, but it worked fine on my GS2. But despite the error message, I am still getting Google voicemails in my GV app successfully. I'm thinking that maybe the error message just means that the GV voicemail won't integrate with the phone's visual voicemail

Log into GV from the web and go to settings ... on your cell number click on the "deactivate voicemail" or something of that sort link first...follow the instructions. it will give you an MMI code. I think it's **004# or something of that sort. Then click on the "Activate Voicemail" link that appears after. It will give you another MMI code...i think it's *004*YOURGVNUMBERHERE# or something of that sort (it gives you the instructions). This will manually override the voicemail forwarding number and enable gv as your voicemail. It has worked for me since I got my Skyrocket and I've been using this method since for every phone i've had including my S3 and the HTC One now. Try it out maybe itll work for you guys too.

Have you logged into GV on your PC yet, and then clicked on "settings," and then the "phones" tab, and then "activate google voicemail" next to that number? If so, you may need to deactivate, and then reactive (Google will tell you to dial a number starting with *400 from your handset). I did this, and it got the GV voicemails to start showing up in the GV app on my HTC One

Do these two phones have the same SIM card/phone number? If all you did was switching the SIM card over to the new phone, then you don't need to do anything.
Also, if you did the deactivation and activation on the web, you don't need to set it up again on GV app on the phone.

The SIM card switch shouldn't matter. The GV voicemail setup works by setting up conditional forwarding with your carrier for your phone number, i.e. "carrier, if <your actual phone number> doesn't get picked up by x ring, then forward the call to <your google voice number's voice mailbox>". Therefore, if the conditional forwarding worked with your actual phone number before, it should still work in a different phone.
Having said that, since you already did a deactivation and activation on the web, you shouldn't have to do anything else from the GV app on the phone. I actually never was able to set the forwarding from the GV app and always did it on the web.

Ya I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do now..
i just uninstalled the app from my other phone(sgs2 that i dont use anymore) and then did the deactivate and reactivate again and then GV seemed to install fine this time.. odd stuffs..
If all else fails leave it set to 'My carrier' and manually change the conditional forwarding and voice mail access numbers to your GV number.
While trying to set up Google Voice i guess the app decided to replace my Voicemail number with the google voice number. Normally i would be ok with this but now that i want to go back to the original voicemail, i can because i don't know the number. Anybody know how to fix this?

your voice mail number is your phone number, you cant remember your phone number?
once you figure out your phone number, just use the 3 dialer codes to re-assign vm back to whatever number you want.
i dialed my number and it always called the Voice voicemail. I had to get on a chat with Verizon for them to fix it
