Hi there,
out of curiosity would it be possible to make Google Visual Voice working on a T-Mobile Prepaid plan with a custom ROM or this is plain set-up on their own servers?
I could simply use a different Google Voice number for Google Visual Voice Mail but I would like to prefer to continue using my original T-Mobile number.
Thanks

I want to replace my t-mobile voicemail with google voicemail service.
Does this mean that if people call my regular t-mobile number, their voicemails will be left on google voice? The thing is, I configured my Voicemail service to use Google Voice, and I tested by having my brother call my t-mobile number. However he still went to my t-mobile voicemail! Did I configure it incorrectly or am I missing some key component?
Download Google voice from the market, then run through the setup again and sync it with your gmail account, then it will ask you if you want to use Google voice as your default voicemail and disable t-mobile voicemail. Then that should do it.

go to browser google voice settings and activate ur google voice mail by entering code shown there.....that will ring ur phone if done correctly(imp). and just follow the prompt....that should do it....i think that's what i did..
i'm assuming with ICS roms being released in the next few months that visual voicemail will be apart of that? the only reason i'm asking is because i was going to sign up for youmail pro...but if this is happening theres no point
Visual voicemail is for lte androids only, we will not receive visual voicemail

That is not true.. You can use Google Voice and switch your voicemail to them and not use it for dialing.. That will give you visual voice mail as well as email you the transcript.

I'm talking about coming stock with the phone like htc vivid and samsung skyrocket.
Why would you want Visual Voicemail?
Google Voice is far superior.
GV voicemail works great, transcription is still beta though.

I wish gv visual voicemail would work on my phone
This is the one thing I miss the most from my Black Berrys
I am coming from an iPhone 3GS (ios 5) to the ATT GNote (stock ROM) and I am confused by the various voicemail app options available for the GNote. I was happy with the iPhone voicemail (visual voicemail?) and would prefer similar functionality (or better) on my GNote.
My GNote has two apps that came with it -- Messages and Messaging. Does one of these apps have good voicemail functionality, or should I consider other apps?
What are the options available to me (without rooting) and what are the advantages/disadvantages of each?
the messaging app don't do voicemail the at&t messages does but it also lumps phone calls and text messages into the same app,I like the at&t messages app because it gives me voicemails in text,another option is visual voicemail,there is another post going about getting that to work.
I have read favorable reviews of the Google Voice app and the AT&T Visual Voicemail app.
How do these two compare with each other as visual voicemail apps and with iPhone visual voicemail?
Does AT&T Visual Voicemail installation requiring rooting?
Use the AT&T visual voicemail app. not root required and I have it working fine on my Galaxy Note & Galaxy SII.
Use the one from this forum called. VVM_GSLEON3.apk that's the one I used and its 100% working.

ATT Visual VM is the easiest and is most like Iphone visual voice mail.
Google Voice is another category. Visual voicemail is just one component of google voice. Visit Google's website dedicated to google voice if you want to explore what else it does.
Else; for simple visual VM; use ATT's solution.
There is no comparison between gv for VM and att vvm. GV is way better, but I'm using att right now because our business has a GV number and I'm one of the forwarding phones.

I also use GV and find it much better. But GV is not Just Visual Voice mail. If you just want VVM there are alternatives. To use GV just for the VM feature (which many people do) is sort of overkill. An Avg user may be intimidated with the setup compared to coming from the rather simple iphone VVM.

There is GV lite. It's sort of the point.

To clarify, while Google Voice does have other functionality available, you can choose to only use the vm feature.
Also, on the Note, many of us have noted that the standard setup fails when it tries to change your vm dial number. In order to install it correctly, you should do it from the Google Voice web page instead of from within the app.
I use Google Voice.
It sets up with ease and is backed by GOOGLE.
Nuff said for me!
Hey, I'm switching from Sprint to T-Mobile, and I need to decide if I want t port my number to TMo or keep it as my Google Voice number, with forwarding to my new number. I know T-Mobile doesn't have the full integration Sprint does, but the big question nobody seems to have answered anywhere that Google can find is this: on T-Mobile, does Google Voice still let you choose whether to receive texts via the GV app or the stock messaging app, or are you stuck using the Voice app?

Dude, your signature is being read by a ton of folk who's third or fourth language is English. Try writing a few posts in Russian, or better yet, Mandarin, and you'll get what their up against. (Yes, that's a deliberate dangling participle.) Although I agree with your basic gist for the most part, your approach isn't going to win anyone over to respect our ever-changing, hybrid-by-nature mother tongue. Respect is the key to respect.
To answer your question, you can set it up so Google Voice texts are forwarded to your stock messaging app/service/number. I use Handcent pretty much exclusively with my Google Voice number, but it doesn't support MMS, yet. I still use my cell number for MMS, but there've been rumors in the mill for months.
T-Mobile has always lagged behind the other major US carriers in Google integration ever since the G1 wasn't the only Android phone on the market. They lag because their cheap, and they're cheap because they lag. It's OK with me, I'd rather hack my phone than pay too much for it.
Is there a way to access visual voicemail for free? I understand that you can rout your voicemails through google voice and access them that way, but I was looking for something more innate within the rom without routing my voicemail. If not, what are others doing out there to get around paying for visual voicemail?

Most people use google voice.
I don't think there are any replacements over VVM other than gv. I dont' know why you wouldn't use GV, since it has more robust functions than VVM does. it is easy to setup, too. took me like < 10 minutes.
I use youmail try it out

GVoice is the way to go.
There are a few other VVM apps on the market that have their own setup so you have to pay them for it instead of VZW. There are also quite a few that use "X" carriers service and their app is mainly just a different UI.

According to me, GV is the best VVM out there but still I have an experience with Youmail which was no that bad so I'd recommend you to tryout the YouMail... (You'll get back to GV, I know)
