How to get back to ATT voice-mail after uninstalling GVoice?
I went to https://www.google.com/voice/b/0#phones and deactivated my Gvoice account. But then what should I do next?
I believe my voice-mail is still forwarded to GVoice somehow. I tried and left a voice-mail on mail phone, the notification bar indicated that I had 1 voice-mail, but I cannot listen to it. When I dialed 1 on the phone, it went to 804-214-6647, and said that I had no voice-mail.
I believe you have to go to Settings > Call > Voicemail service and select My Carrier.
under GVoice settings for deactivating Voicemail it says:
1) Enter the following exactly as written, as if you are dialing someone:
##004#
2) Press "Send" or "Call" on your phone to dial that number. When you see the confirmation message on your phone, you are done!
I did all that before I posted here. My problem is that my phone keeps dialing the Google Voice number instead of my ATT voicemail number. Can anyone provide me the ATT voicemail number please?
You should be able to access att voicemail if you call yourself. Make sure the call forward settings are not still set on the gvoice settings.
I think the VM dial in and forward numbers are regional. If you call att they should be able to provide the number. When my wife went from the captivate to an iPhone all the forward settings are not there on the iPhone. Att was able to reset all the settings from the network side.

The call in number is your cell number.
I had to call a CSR and have them reset it for me. A little bit of a pain but it is what it is.
Hope its OK I add a somewhat related question. In my dumb attempt to get visual VM back (from SR), I installed At&t Messages. Yeah no bueno. I've removed the app but my VM is still the hybrid setup with their crappy service. Will I need to call in and have them undo this mess?

Try dialing ##004# then hit send. That should reset everything.

No its not. The ATT voicemail number is a different number. Your own number gets you into your voice mail box, but that is not giving you access to your voice mail features. Been there just this week! Since this number is not always the same between locations, I suggest you call ATT, tell them that google voice mail hijacked you, and they will give you your specific voice mail number. If that does not help, send me a message.
FIXED. I called ATT and asked the voicemail number that was programmed on my device and it worked. Calling myself also worked though.

Appreciate the response but this didn't do anything for me. On call #3 with AT&T to get this god awful app and whatever it did reversed.
thank you!
this helped me reset my voicemail after un installing the ATT messages app (worst app ever) ( i used the ## way)

OK, I know I'll probably get slammed, but I searched and searched and can't find the answer...
I'm coming from the Nexus One on ATT where google voice worked flawlessly. Now, on Verizon with the Thunderbolt, it's a nightmare. Incoming calls don't get my Gvoice message, just a notice saying to enter a PIN. Also, Gvoice isn't showing the correct outgoing caller ID... even though everything "appears" to be setup properly in Gvoice settings and on the Thunderbolt.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!! Any ideas?
The information on the Google Voice Settings page didn't work for me. Telling you to dial some crazy * #### blah blah blah.
So I did some calling to Verizon and dug deeper. In order to get GV on your VZW, you need to do these steps:
*71[Google Voice Number]
*90[GVnumber]
*92[GVnumber]
Then GV should work.
I was in the same boat as you. Upgraded from TMO Nexus to this and was going crazy trying to figure out why GV wouldn't work.
Hope it helped?
Why don't u just fork out the money for Verizon's awesome visual voicemail! What a joke. Don't think Verizon likes gv.

I just installed the app, dialed *xxxxxxxxxx (whatever number i was told to dial by the app or site) and it seems to be working fine. I've never used it before though, so I'll update this if something goes wrong.

I did that and the voicemail still were intercepted by Verizon

I just followed the directions on google.com/voice and mine worked fine. My voicemail gets picked up by GV.
i had previously set up gvoice with sprint so what I had to do in gvoice was delete my cell number and re-set it up so it would register with Verizon. Works fine after that.

Thanks for the post, let me try it out. Also, after digging more at Google.com, I found these bonus codes depending on what network we're on...
Verizon (CDMA network): *71[GVnumber] AND *90[GVnumber] AND *92[GVnumber]
Verizon (TDMA Network): *74[GVnumber] and *73[GVnumber]
What net are we on with LTE?
Worked! THANKS!
Worked fine for me with just the *71-XXX-XXX-XXXX code BOTH times I had to set it up (thursday new phone, last night after rooting). I just called myself from my Skype out # and it rolled to GV voicemail.
All U.S. Verizon Customers are on the CDMA network.

That code only sets up forwarding for one group of calls. Unfortunately, you need to setup GVoice on the Thunderbolt to properly forward BOTH unanswered (missed) calls, and ignored (intentionally declined) calls. The two different actions are handled differently by Verizon - hence the multiple dial-in codes. Although I don't know what the third code is for.

I'm not going to get into a huge back and forth over it, but I just tested my Thunderbolt phone both ways...I called it and let it go unanswered, and then I called it and hit the decline button on the screen. Both times it rolled to my Google Voice voicemail. I only set it up with the *71 code.
I'm not disputing that your experience may be different, but that's how it worked for me.
Whenever I try to add my new Verizon phone number, it shows up as a Gizmo account no matter what I select (Mobile, Home, or Work).
Just what I was looking for, thanks!
works the same as it did for me from my og droid. i wish there would be an icon telling me what number the people are calling me on. i have a bunch of people call the wrong number and i never know what line its on.
I had Google voicemail set up on T-Mobile with my N1, MyTouch 4G and it worked perfect. Tried to set it up on my Thunderbolt with Verizon and I went thru the set up procedure, dialed the *71 and my google # then *90 and finaly *92. When I was done I tried to call myself and see if it works, I get a message asking me to put the # I am trying to call and hit the pound button. Please help, Love Google Voice and I tried Verizon tech help and absolutely useless, tried to sell me theirs.
Please anyone, I want that Google voicemail app working.

I had a friend of mind call in and he got the same message. I have seen other posts of people with the same issue. I can not find out how they resolved their issue. Someone must have the answer, Verizon tech help didn't have a clue unless I was buying their V Voice Mail.
I also came over from t-mobile. All I did was set my phone's voicemail setting to my Google number, then did *71(my Google number) and my voicemail works fine.

wondering if someone could please check as I am not getting texts and when someone calls me it goes to voicemail and I don't get the message.
Are you using Google Voice separate from your actual Sprint number or did you have your Sprint number made into your Google Voice number (though using the sprint integration, not actually porting your number to GV)?
If it's the latter, here's what happened to me. I had been using Google Voice & Sprint integration on my EVO 4G. Immediately after activating my SG3 last night everything was still working, but when I got up this morning I logged into the Google Voice web interface and realized something had been borked. I didn't have a phone number associated with my Voice account at all, and calling my cell number from my office phone sent me to Sprint voicemail rather than GV voicemail.
There was also no Phones tab under GV settings (and Settings was missing a good number of the tabs that are usually there) since sometime after the activation process it disabled the GV integration and my GV account no longer had a number at all.
No worries, I just clicked the "Get A Google Voice Number" (or however it was worded) in the left column on the web interface and went through the process again. I said I had an existing number, and it asked me to type it in to get my options. It recognized it as a Sprint number and asked how I wanted to integrate it. After that everything set up like it was before and I didn't even have to re-record my GV voicemail message since it was still there.
Hope this helps.
Thanks so much for your response! I did not integrate the numbers. Every thing looks perfect on the website. I can even make calls with Google voice. Its just when people call me it goes right to voice mail and i cant get the message if they leave a voice mail. So frustrating! Anyone else.
I did the integration method... but when I got to the screen after the choice of using a google voice number or the sprint number, the button was disabled. I rebooted my phone and everything worked fine. I get phone calls on my sprint phone from my google number, my phone also displays on their caller ID as my google number. Hell, I can even get MMS now to my google number (forwarded to my phone's messages) that I didnt think I could before.
something to check
i just had a similar problem. i was screwing with groove-ip and i stopped receiving calls.
go to google voice on your pc
go to settings
it should show you the "phones" tab, if not, get there
make sure you don't have any other phones checked for "forward calls"
i had "google chat" checked and it screwed me up
hope this helps

try disabling voicemail via the google.com/voice site. and then re-enable it. i haven't had a chance to try it yet, but it seems like it worked (the forwarding option in call settings on the gs3 is grayed out now).

This worked! I was constantly getting a "Forwarding number change failed" on my AT&T SIII when selecting Google Voice for my voicemail service, but I just followed the steps under Settings > Phones > Deactivate Google voicemail on this phone and then Activate Google voicemail on this phone - once you do that, the forwarded numbers under Call Forwarding on the phone list my Google Voice number like they should
Here's my only issue with this though.... if you could change the Voicemail service from My Carrier to Google Voice like normal, the next setting below it gives you options for Voicemail settings for Google Voice - that lists the number to dial, which is obviously your GV number and not the carrier specified one.... On the dialer, if you press the Voicemail icon without having GV enabled as the correct service, it dials the carrier specified one instead! I'm sure that when a voicemail comes in and pops up on the notification bar, I'm just going to click on that and read / listen to it there, but not having the option of dialing it straight away from the dialer is a little half-assed....
I found this for a solution on an S2 for AT&T, might give that a try and see if they can figure it out for me

On Stock Android, you could also set Google Voice to list voicemail within the call log and listen from there. Haven't tried it yet on the GS3.

You're right, I can change the number listed manually, but it still says "My Carrier" and not "Google Voice" on the voicemail service even though the number listed is now my GV number.... I got with tech support at AT&T and they called Samsung to assist with this, but I don't know why they did, it's an issue with AT&T and most likely Visual Voicemail preventing me from being able to change the voicemail service from "My Carrier" to "Google Voice" and Samsung couldn't do anything to fix it
I was only able to switch my VoiceMail provider from AT&T to GoogleVoice by using the dialcode listed @ voice.google.com (*004*<insertyourGVnumberhere>#), and it works, even though the Dialer settings still shows "My carrier" instead of "Google Voice" as the provider, and attempting to change it in the dialer still says "Forwarding number change failed".
Anyway, my problem now is that I can't for the life of me figure out where to change the timeout before it forwards to VoiceMail. I test-called from another phone and it rings for at least 60 seconds(!) before forwarding to GoogleVoice, instead of the 15 or so it used to be.
Where do you change this, or can you
Anybody else using Google Voice on the HTC One? No matter what options I choose, when I call people my new T-Mobile number shows up instead of the Google Voice one. It ignores the "Use Google Voice to make all calls" option.. Any Ideas?

I don't know if it's related to your problem but every time I try and switch to Google voice I get the error
"Failed to retrieve and save current forwarding number settings. Do you want to switch to the new provider anyway?"
I hit yes and then I get the error
"Forwarding numbers change unsuccessful. Please contact your carrier if this problem persists."
Have you gone to the website, blown out your number there, then setup the phone again?

Yes. There is that error too.. To get around that you can manually set up the Voicemail number by using *004*[phone number]#. I believe you have to turn WI-Fi off for it to work.
I think you can also call T-Mobile and give them your voicemail number to set up.

I also did this, and it works insofar as missed calls ARE now forwarded to Google Voice. However, my phone still uses "My carrier" as the Voicemail service in Settings and, unfortunately, I don't get any notifications from Google Voice for new VMs.
Not sure if there's any relation, but I can't even set up my T-Mobile Visual Voicemail. It just times out, and tech support said "known error, try back in a few days".

I'm having the same issue in call settings. I cannot switch from "my carrier" to "google voice" without an error. Google voicemail works properly but I don't get a real notification. I have it setup now so ill just get a text message.
EDIT: got it! I just uninstalled and started all back over again.
This has been going on for awhile now... I have the same issue on my S3. The MMI code doesn't even work, it errors out. T-Mobile has manually set it and it still doesn't work. The only time that Google Voice picks up instead of my T-Mobile voicemail is if they call my Google number AND I don't send it to voicemail but let it ring out (otherwise it goes to T-Mobile voicemail). Frustrating as hell.
I was able to fix it by setting all the numbers in the Call Forwarding settings to my Google Voice number. It still says "My carrier" in the call settings, but missed calls forward to my GV voicemail and I get a notification.

Thank you for that, I never thought to try that. It worked great!
Have you tried going on GV, disabling past phones, and activating the new one? There is an option where you will enter a code (do it without wifi calling on) which is like **044*GOOGLEVOICENUMBER#
It will send a code to fix the forwarding. Did that and had no issues, it's under the settings option if you log on to GV..
ive been having the same trouble
Pre-paid T-Mobile customers can't use GV for voicemail because there is no call forwarding.
[QUOcancelTE=Benjimang;40823987]ive been having the same trouble[/QUOTE]
This is what worked for me. This informing following info was found in a Tmobile forum. The 1st step likely isn't necessary but was done during my stumbling to a solution.
1. **004*1(Google voice number) #
Again that part may not be necessary.
2. **61*1( Google voice number) #
This command forward calls if no reply
3. **62*1( Google voice number) #
This command forwards calls if not reachable
4. **67*1(Google voice number) #
This command forwards calls when busy.
Note: to check status of forwarding use the following commands .
*#61#
*#62#
*#67#
To cancel forwarding use the following commands .
##61#
##62#
##67#
The following command changes forwarding delay.
Also,it is untested by me so I'm not certain if the forwarding number should be changed to the Google voice number or left as is try at your own risk.
**61*18056377249**seconds#
(For example, 5, 10, 15, etc.)
I found on the T-mobile forums that the way to fix this is manually set the call forwarding settings to your google voice number. That has worked for me and so for no issues. Pretty sure dialing the ** numbers is what the Call forwarding menu does in the background.
Seems to me like google voice doesn't work with wifi calling.
It's weird, seems like when I'm on wifi and someone calls me, it goes into a loop.
It'll ring on my phone, caller will get call forwarded but it seems to forward back to my phone so it rings back again.
Has anyone gotten google voice working with wifi calling?
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.
For other phones, I was able to use Google Voice by following the instruction at GV settings:
**004*1xxxxxxxxxx#
But it seems voice mail still goes to AT&T default voice mail.
I also tried *#61#, and it says calls will be forwarded to my GV number. Still same result
In the phone settings, I changed Voicemail setting to GV number, still same results
I'm wondering if this could be an issue with Huawei software. Do you have same issue?

Thanks again
It seems the settings are correct:
* Settings->Call->Call Forwarding: shows my GV# when call cannot get through
* Settings->Call->Voicemail: shows GV Voicemail as the option (clicks that also shows my GV#)
But when call from another phone, the AT&T voicemail will still kick in. Not sure if this is an AT&T issue.

I think it forwards it at a phone level. So must be something with the settings. Perhaps time to backup and reformat?
I just tried on another phone, it seems same thing happens. So looks it's an issue with AT&T. I'll see if they can help to solve the issue. Thanks for the help.
