I have a verizon note 2 and my visual voicemail just hasnt been working correctly for awhile. I can't seem to get google voice setup can anyone give me a hand? Idk where the setting for voicemail provider is and whenever I get voice mails it still goes to my verizon one. I also got some error telling me it couldnt be configured

This will setup to google. Then open google voice. Follow the prompts. When it ask you to configure do it. In call settings under voice mail change it to google voice. It will say some error do it anyway. It must say voicemail changed. If it didn't click voicemail again in the settings and select *86. Then select google voice. If it just spins and doesn't say voicemail changed then all good. Reboot device. When it reboots go back into voicemail settings and tap google voice again and it should say voicemail changed.
I have,setup google voice on countless devices over the,past few years and this always works for me. 0 issues. Even after flashing a new Rom I continue to do the same steps above and never have voice mail issues on Verizon. I hope this helps you.

Also if it doesn't work for you I am getting my note 2 Mon or tues and I will do it and outline better details. My wife has a gs3 and this worked first try on hers. All Verizon phones will throw,an error but it will change. The key is when you see a box pop up that says voicemail changed you know it worked.
Thank you. I got it goinf there now im not getting voicemail notifications.

You might have to go into Google voice on your desktop and disable and re-enable(activate) your phone number.

Just go to google voice on a desktop itll give you the number to call. I believe it's*71 than your google voice number but double check.

How do you change your greeting from the default Google voice message?

Not sure what you mean by the default greeting but there are, or used to be as I haven't looked in at least a year, all kinds of settings in voice.google.com. You can also call your Google Voice number from your phone and then use the touch tone menu.

i couldnt get google voice to work for the life of me. it was "setup" and working but when people would call me they would get the voicemail greeting i left for carrier voicemail. it would never go to google voice. i redownloaded YouMail as i used it once before and its been working. sucks because i really liked google voice.
Just a thought...
Did you goto, menu, settings, call and change voicemail from "my carrier" to "google voice"?

how do I make it so that holding 1 on the dialer calls my gv voicemail?
Why would you ever have to call your googe voicemail box? It sends them to the app on your phone. Try saving your voicemail number as speed dail one.

If you call att they can reset to default from their end. Or, at least provide you the number to put into your phone.

You can just use your own phone number in the voicemail number slot. Or you can call in and get your actual voicemail number. Make sure you turn off the google voice voicemail also.
I just get a buddy signal when I enter my own number.. I guesses I'll try calling att

Did you come from an Iphone like I did? If thats the case then at&t left you set up for visual voicemail and didn't change you over to standard voicemail. I was getting the same problem.

Go to Settings in the upper right hand corner of the Google Voice screen on your browser...
Go to the Phones tab... select the phone you want to remove GV voicemail from...
Click the 'Show advanced settings' link...
Next to the 'Forwarding Options' near the bottom of the list... click on the 'Deactivate' link...
In the pop-up, select your carrier...(AT&T)...
Follow the dialing instructions to disable Google Voice voicemail... for AT&T, it's ##004#
Worked on my SGSII. Hope it helps.

Google Voice works perfectly for me. What's going wrong for you?
it said something about not being able to configure because of my carrier I can't find the phone voicemail options in settings at the moment any advice would be appreciated

VZW doesnt yet offer native integration with google voice. It will still work though. I have mine all set up. You have to type in a code to set your line to forward to your gvoice number when its busy or times out. This code redirects the call to google which then answers with your voicemail. I cant recall the code, i think its *28 then you type in your google number, ie *284105551212 from your dialer. The phone will look like its placing a call, then hang up a few seconds later. When youre installing google voice just tell it to skip the voicemail steps.

Just looked it up and found the following:
If you are having trouble configuring Google Voice as your voicemail service on Verizon you can make the switch manually by dialing all three of these activation codes:
*71[Your Google Voice number] -- This turns on Conditional Forwarding, which should transfer calls to your Google Voice number when your Verizon phone is busy or unanswered after 3 to 6 rings.
*90[Your Google Voice number] -- This turns on Busy Transfer, which transfers all calls that would hear a busy signal to your Google Voice number.
*92[Your Google Voice number] -- This turns on No Answer Transfer, which transfers all calls unanswered after 3 to 6 rings to your Google Voice number.
To Deactivate the Call Forwarding, dial *73 [Send]
To Deactivate the Busy Transfer, dial *900 [Send]
To Deactivate the No Answer Transfer, dial *902 [Send]
thank you. with that information I easily found this website that helped me

Yes... Remember once you set up GVoice and do the correct forwarding codes, it will continue with every phone after that, until you reverse the codes again. The forwarding codes are not specific to your phone. They are part of your actual service. So if you switch phones, all you have to do is setup the GVoice app and change to Google voice mail in your settings. SKIP everything else., like the previous poster said.

I'm now to the android scene,andsoup. so far I think it's pretty cool. But one disturbing thing about the optimus is the way it handles voicemail. The is no visual voicemail integrated into the dialer, using a separate app sucks- especially when it's an att app that doesn't seem to load.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for that?

It's not built into the dialer, but Google Voice is a solution that loads and works well. It also tries to transcribe and emails those transcriptions to you
Google Voice also has an option to display your voicemails in the call log screen.

I've been using PF Voicemail + on my old GS2 with good success and over the few days I've had my OG it has worked just as well. It also transfered my old messages and missed call log when I made the switch as a bonus. Not sure if that was the app, or the result of TiBu. Either way, no issues I can see so far on the OG.

I get the following....
"Connection problem or invalid MMI code"

It's actually... *004*1googlevoicenumber#
And it worked for me!
I've had no issues. other than the numbers being listed in the call log are the Google Routing Numbers...not the name of the person in my contact list.
Go to your google voice page on a computer. Go to the settings. Under the phones tab there should be something like "activate my voicemail." It will give you instructions similar to what is posted above.
Thanks worked perfectly.

Did you encounter any problems while setting up the voicemail for the first time?
I had issues getting it to work when changing settings on the phone, so ended up updating the settings online, which worked for me.

I had to change online, but it only changed the voicemail setting for incoming calls. So if someone calls me it does go to Google now. However if I try to call my voicemail using #1 Speed dial or Voicemail icon on the bottom left of the dialer it calls ATT instead of Google. And I that's waht I am having trouble with...
I couldn't get it to work either but I downloaded the AT&T visual voicemail app from the play store and that one works great
