so i have my regular ATT number and my google voice number setup on my note
i have google voice set to call screen... it gives you option to accept or send to voicemail
this way i can always see caller id, and if it gives me the screen option i know it was calling my google number
now here is the cool part, if they are calling my google number and i don't answer or screen it to voicemail... IT GOES TO GOOGLE VOICE MAIL
if they call my regular ATT number and i don't answer, it goes to ATT visual voicemail!
so now i can see caller id, i can tell which number they are dialing from the screening, and if i miss the calls the voicemails are separated so i know which number to call back from!
i do hate the ATT messages app and it duplicates gosms pro notifications but that is minor annoyance for having 2 distinct numbers and voicemails on 1 phone
How did you get the Visual Voicemail to work?
How did you get the Visual Voice Mail to work on the ATT NOTE? Thanks!

Hi Everyone,
I have a sprint touch pro and I am using Google voice as my voice mail provider. Since I no longer use sprint as the voice mail provider I don't get the nice voice mail notification on my phone. Is there a way to hack the phone so that when someone leaves me a voice mail on Google voice I would get the notification on my phone? I hope I explained this correctly and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jerry
No...the voicemail notification comes from the network. Google Voice wouldn't have the ability to send that signal to your phone. The best you can do is have them send you a text message notifying you of new voicemail. Unless someone can write some sort of intermediary driver to intercept that type of formatted text (similar to what other apps do like nuegpssecurity) and notify you otherwise.

how is google voice for voicemail? havent really looked into what google voice is actually
Can't you have the voicemail transcriptions sent to an email address? Why not just set up an email account on your phone to receive them?
There is an option on google voice for it to send a message to your cellphone when you have a voicemail.
It's under:
Settings
General>Notifications
If you just have GV transcribe your VM to texts and then SMS it to your mobile phone, you'll probably never have listen to a voice message again.That's what I did and I don't believe that I have called in for my VM messages once since I did this many months ago.
I've been using fusion voicemail and really liked how it transfered my voicemail into writing. Unfortunatly my trial is up. What other free ones are out there?
Check out Google voice. In addition to the awesome number forwarding features you can use it just as a voicemail service. Transcriptions included.
I just downloaded google voice, but I cant seem to get it setup so it takes my messages. my calls keep going to my stock voicemail.
You have to set up call forwarding with your cell provider. Try going to the voice website, voice.google.com for a guide on how to get everything set up.
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.
I've been Google searching and searching here for an hour. Because I don't really know "what" happened, I'm lost as to how to fix it.
I've got a Sprint phone and I've got a Google Voice account.
The way I've had it for a couple years is that if you call my Google Voice, my phone rings too but if I don't pick up, you go to my Google Voice mail which then I get notified of a voice mail via the Google Voice Android app.
If you call my Sprint number, obviously that rings threw to my phone too, but if I don't pick up, you get my Sprint voice mail which I'm notified via Sprints visual voice mail.
Now and I'm sure I did something wrong, I put a new ROM on my phone and I've been tweaking Google Voice, but now when you call my GV number and get my voice mail it says, you've reached the Sprint voicemail for XXX-XXX-XXXX...
Um... I wouldn't be using GV if I wanted people to know my actual number.
Now if I log into GV and un-check the box next to my list of phones, it goes back to sending GV to GV Mail and Sprint to Sprint, but the calls to my GV number no longer ring threw, you just get my voice mail and I get notified via the GV app.
What did I do wrong?
This is driving me crazy. I activate Google Voicemail, I get Google Voicemail on both m GV number and Sprint, I deactivate Google Vociemail, I get my Sprint Voicemail on BOTH my GV number and Sprint number.
The only way I can separate the two it so disable my phone on my GV account but then the calls to my GV number do not ring threw.
Really?! No one has any thoughts? No one uses GV or has ever had issues like this?
My advice to you mate is to make a new google voice account. Seems like your best bet.

When Google voice goes bad , it can be very tricky to get it working again. I had an issue where my sprint # was in use on an old GV account I didn't have access to. In the end I changed my sprint #. GV is great but if something gets messed up , very hard to fix (in my experience)

Just check your settings, particularly this one, and set to display GV number for incoming calls: https://www.google.com/voice#callsettings
Also when you first install it it ask to use GV as your main voicemail. So you can clear GV datas and in Manage Application and set it up from beginning again.

This may help!
GRRR didn't work!
I even removed my Sprint cell from my Google Voice account completely and readded it. I call my GV number, I get you have reached the Sprint voice mail box of "my sprint number here", not my GV voicemail.
Again if I log into my GV account and un-check my Sprint phone, then call my GV number I get my GV voicemail box BUT the calls NEVER ring threw to my phone.
Going to try setting up a whole new Google account and GV I guess. Hopefully Sprint lets me and doesn't give me the whole you already have a GV account crap.
Did you ever get an answer to this? This started happening to me out of nowhere.
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).

It works great night at you just need to manually set it up in forwarding section or go to Google voice website under settings to get the number string to put in.

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
