[Q] Google Voice Voicemail Issue - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anyone else having trouble setting up Google voice as their voicemail for Sprint? For some reason we dont have the call forwarding option under call settings as everyone else does. I've tried activating through the web and the app but to no avail. The phone just keeps ringing and doesnt go to VM unless the person calls my google voice number directly. I've tried Youmail as well and conditional call forwarding for voicemail does not work.

Google Voice problem ...

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.

[Q] How do I turn off call screening?

Not sure what I did to activate call screening but when answering a call it now asks to press 1 to answer and 2 to send to voicemail.
I was experimenting with Google Voice, the Voicemail app that came with the phone and youmail voicemail app.
I have removed youmail, disconnected from google voice..but no dice.
Thanks.

busy tone when i call voicemail

so i searched around and i couldn't find and answer for this. So heres the scenario, I decided to try google voice and i didn't like it so i went to google and turned it off. Since then my voicemail when i call it i get a busy tone and when people call it says something about i don't have voicemail. I checked my settings and i do have voicemail set to carrier. any suggestions or help would be great
Dial *38 then your gv number to fully disable gv, then your sprint vvm should work

[Q] Why doesn't Google Voice Work Anymore?

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.
MY ERROR : Call Settings Error
Forwarding number change unsuccessful. Please contact your carrier if this problem presists...
Running Neutrino CM7 v2.8
*UPDATE*
Called AT&T and had them disable my voicemail and now it's working fine.

Google Voice not calling out

I'm having a problem with Google Voice. I have Google Voice set to use for all calls, but for some reason when I try to call out the call dropped. I am able to receive incoming calls on my Google Voice phone number, but nothing outgoing. Has anyone else had this issue?
UPDATE: I've reverted to the Viper ROM and now I can call out on Google Voice. I cannot be the only one who has experienced this with CM 10.1. Anyone?
