Did some googling, searching on AT&T site -says visual voicemail is supposed to be included when purchasing smartphone data plan. Still can't figure out why AT&T Note doesn't have it or how to get it.
Its the AT&T messages app.

Don't have anything called "AT&T messages" or "messages" in my phone's app list. "Messaging" app is just for texting.
Anyways, I found this bad boy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452330 and it works like a charm. Good looking interface too.

How is voicemail handled on the AT&T SGS2? I've got the unlocked French version, I want the AT&T voicemail app to use on my phone, having to call my voicemail is annoying and I hate it, lol. I downloaded cognition, but it didn't have the Voicemail.apk in it I know the infuse has the voicemail app, am I just stupid thinking the SGS2 has it aswell?
Please upload it for me if it does exist =] It should be in /system/app
I highly recommend using Google voice as your voicemail provider over at&t messaging.

I didn't have AT&T Voicemail on my phone when I got it, maybe you could look through the Infuse files and see if you can find an APK?

There is no voice mail app on gs2. Get google voice.

AT&T Messages can be downloaded. It will display text messages and voicemails.
I installed it, but it's a little different and I'm not sure I will keep it.
While I loved Visual Voicemail on my BB Torch, I was upset that the SG2 doesn't have it's own. I ended up using Google Voice and am pretty happy with it. Installed it from the Market, and it walked through basic configuration. I had to manually change the settings though, including forwarding to my GV# on no-answer, busy, etc. The one click voicemail setting doesn't seem to work, but I really don't care because I only wanted the ability to download them and listen to them as wavs. Very happy with that setup.
I installed Lookout security on my phone to find it if I lose it. I have never had a problem with it. I am now running the latest MIUI 10.1.28 and reinstalled Lookout. The built in firewall keeps informing me that Lookout is trying to send SMS. This seems a bit fishy to me.
Nope......
I have it with CM7. No problems with it and nothing at all like what you mentioned.

I'm on MIUI Nexus Prime 360 v1.3 with Lookout. I had an experience similar to yours, I uninstalled it and downloaded a fresh version from the market. Since, that time I only use the MIUI Backup to restore it.
Why would Lookout keep trying to send an SMS message? Is it trying to ask for an update? OR, is it sending them my call patterns, usage, or personal information?
Although I to am confused as to why Lookout looks my texts my texts, (which us why that popup only happens when you receive a text) I have found that if you open the superuser app and click on Lookout >SMS > Allow... you will no longer get that popup.

That's because you don't see the sms messages being sent back to Lookout. Either they are database update requests or your messages are being sent to them? Just don't know.
No visual Voicmail on the Note? Could almost swear I read a review saying it came Installed? Tried to install the APK with no luck =/

Edit:
Thanks to jpitch2415 - he/she found a downloadable .zip file that will install via ESFile Manager. Installing the .apk through the file manager that comes stock on the phone will not work.
This is for the AT&T version of Visual Voicemail and for those that prefer it over Google Voice, etc.
The link to download the file is here & also make sure to install this file with ESFile Manager from the Android Marketplace - the file to install will be located in your tapatalk download folder assuming you downloaded the file directly from your phone.
The post where jpitch found the file / information is located here:

I deleted all the AT&T feature apps. I have no need for them. I can deal without the visual voicemail. It was a nice feature when I had a Blackberry, but when I ditch it for an Android phone, didn't care for it.

Well, I installed the visual VM from here-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452330
When I open, it says call voicemail, enter pin, then hang up. Visual voicemail then tries to set up and I get a message telling me it is not turned on yet by att- It says please wait- setting up your account-then account verification has not been received yet. contact support to verify that VVM service is activated.
So I called ATT, and she said VVM is turned on, she reset it to on twice, but still, it won't set up thru the visual voice mail app. I haven't tried the ATT messaging to set it up. Just don't like it. Tech support will call in the am. I verified with her that with the LTE data plan VVM is included and she said yes.

Rather than listening to voicemails #1 through #9 to hear #10, you can just see them visually and listen to the ones you want to listen to
Some of the VVM services (like Google Voice) will actually transcribe the voicemail into text, and can email the voicemail to you.
Jpitch. You rock!! Thanks so much. Worked great

It's one of the first apps I set up on a new phone. It's nice that you don't have to use the whole voice package if all you want is visual voicemail.

GV and android noob here. Do you guys set GV to have your cell number forwarded to it? Or do you use the GV number as your main? I'm not exactly sure how it works as I just started to play with it on iOS. Thanks.

You can do either, but I think most people do what I do and use it just for VM. During the setup, it will attempt to change the settings on your phone that it needs automatically. Basically, it just changes the forwarding numbers.
Has anybody tried this app? It is supposed to be a free app.

Works very well and integrates SMS, MMS and Voicemail into one app - it's sort of a "super" visual voicemail" - plays back voicemails nicely. I prefer it to VVM
Lol voicemail. What an ancient concept.
TextSecure for SMS and mms. Encrypts your texts locally and if the receiver is using textsecure as well then the text can be encrypted from end to end.
I won't go into detail about why I need this but there it is. Use it

It may be ancient but I at least wanna know what the message was that was left. VVM isn't even close most of the time.
I installed this app and it looks nice. I did find out though that after doing this, I could no longer send messages using the stock app nor using handcent. But I may stick with this app.
Update: Well I uninstalled this app and I still can't get my stock app or handcent to send a text message. Any ideas how to fix this? Getting to just do a nandroid restore.

I know I've seen it before but I can't remember where, but I am looking for an app that can send and receive text messages via Bluetooth or WiFi I don't really want to use Google voice due to the voicemail portion always sucking.

AT&T had an app called AT&T messages for the tablet. It allows you to access all your messages and when you send a text it shows up as coming from your phone.

I just set this up using DeskSMS / TabletSMS. The text messages send via my phone (and are also visible on my PC via a Chrome plug-in). I am very happy with it.
Of course it requires the phone to have an active data connection as well as the tablet, so that might not be what you are looking for.
Is there way to use tablet talk without the headset? Talk through the tablets microphone and hear through the speakers?
