I can't access voicemail anymore. When I dial *86 it says invalid and when I try just 1 it asks for area code. Any suggestions?
There's a setting in the phone for what to dial for voicemail, double-check that is *86. If you are coming back from Google Voice integrated you may need to call customer service to get it "unstuck".

I had Google Voice voicemail working on my phone for months, now, suddenly, even though I have Voice set for voicemail, I only get it through Sprint -- but I don't get any notification.
I'm using SteelH's ROM that I modified. Is Voice dependent on any other apps? I took out the visual voicemail app, but I didn't think Voice needed that.
If I call my Sprint number, I get Sprint's voicemail prompts. If I call my Google number I get Google Voice prompts. I used to be able to call my Sprint number and get Google Voice voicemail.
I've cleared data and uninstalled and re-installed. Next is a data wipe and full install of the ROM again if no one has any ideas.

the description you give of the voicemail prompts after calling the numbers seem to indiciate the issue is beyond your evo 3d and more to do with you gv setup.
try calling your sprint number from a different phone. if you get sprint's voicemail prompts, then you need to setup your gv account again. the easiest way to set it up again is to disable sprint integration online in your gv account, wait a lil bit and enable it again.
the disable and enable codes gv gives you with the sprint integration essentially setup the conditional call forwarding for the voicemail.
hope that helps!
+1 on the conditional call forward, I think it is *28 then the google voice number (or your sprint number if integrated). Presto your calls when unanswered will be routed to google voice again.

this is correct and dont forget to change your voicemail carrier in settings
I was having the same issue. I was too lazy to look it up so I uninstalled and reinstalled the google voice app. everything is working as expected again.
Does anyone know how to assign a phone number to the Fascinate. My phone has no service and I am using GrooveIp to make and receive phone calls on WIFI using my Google Voice number. I am unable to install Google voice to handle texts since the Google Voice number does not show up in the phone....
You have to add a phone number from the google voice website. It could be any number, home phone, friend's phone, make sure the number you add has service cause google voice will call it with a verification number. Once you verify the number on the website make sure you disable it so that when people call you it does not forward to that phone, keep it on google chat so groove ip continues to work. Then when you go to the voice app it will list the number you verified, select it and you will have a few options based on what you want the voice app to do for calls, I usually "put do not use voice for calls" skip the voicemail part and you should be able to receive text and voicemail messages with the app. Hope this helps!
Okay so google voice is registered to redirect to google voice but all my voicemails are going to my carrier voice mail.
Should I call AT&T and turn off carrier voice mails permanentely so everything will be forced to google voice? I HATE my carrier voicemail.

Hi All,
So I got Straight Talk with ATT on my S3 and tried to setup Google Voice as the voicemail.
I initially ran into the issue of GV crashing when trying to set it up from my phone/app. I then went through the voice website and set it up through there, basically did the whole entire *004*+GV number+3,etc.
Now GV is set as the voicemail and the conditional call forwarding is working.
However, what I cannot for the life of me change is the dialer shortcut/speed dial #1 and get it to be set to call GV. It always uses the ST number.
I tried:
1.) Call Settings>Voicemail Service> *selects* google voice...system does this whole service thing then says "voicemail number change unsuccessful"
2.) Call Settings>Voicemail Settings> Voicemail Number> changes the number to my phone's number or the GV phone number, gets the same error as before "voicemail number change unsuccessful"
3.) Tried reinstalling the app, turning phone on and off, deactivating and reactivating GV voicemail, nothing works.
So is it even possible to change the voicemail number so I can get speed dial 1 to work with GV or is the voicemail number locked to the sim card/provider?

Hello,
On my S4, I had made a contact called voicemail (which included both voicemail a pause and then my access code. When I'd get a voice mail and see it by swiping from the top of the screen, when I pressed the notification for voicemail, it would then dial my voicemail and access code. I can't seem to get that to work on the G3 so I'm thinking I forgot a step in making it dial voicemail and password.
