So a few months back in would use Google Voice just to get voice mails, I had both a Sprint number, and a Google Voice number.
When people would call my sprint number, Google Voice would take the voice mail.
But now it won't seem to work, and it has also happened to my girlfriend.
Are we doing something wrong or is this just sprint trying to get me to pay for their voice mail service that did the same thing?

You probably need to configure forwarding for your phone to your Google voice#. The forwarding is only if you don't pick up. You can call customer care and have them do it, or I think you can dial *24 or *39 and then your Google voice# (please lookup the forwarding * number before you do it)
Your more than likely going to have to log into you Google voice settings threw your desktop/via gmail and forward your VM's to your gv number/VM service.

Thanks, I think I got it changed. . . now the next person that calls is going to voice mail just to test it out.
Glad you got it. It should be good to go.

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 know there are other issues with GV. I have used it flawlessly on my old Hero, so I thought it would be the same on the 3d. I had integrated my Sprint number to GV in my GV settings(option #1), but did not use the GV app on the phone. I travel extensively, and ran into problems retrieving my GV messages. I did not always have reliable 3g or 4g service, thus unable to hear messages that were not transcribed properly.
I tried to disable GV and go back to the stock VVM, but now I cannot use my phone!!! The dialer will not connect to anything but *2, old GV number or 911!
A sprint tech tried to assign a dummy phone to my account, no luck. Seems my account is locked because of trying to remove GV. I have a SERO plan, may be part of the problem, but I haven't had issues til now.
Any help would be appreciated.

In short, when you say you disabled GV you mean that you went onto your google voice account on a computer and followed these steps:
1. Log into your computer
2. Go to Google.com/voice and sign in and jump to your Voice Settings
3. Now next to your number you want to click the DEACTIVATE SPRINT AND GOOGLE INTEGRATION (or something along those lines)
Yep, my Google account on a computer, the Sprint techs asked me 5 time to make sure. I have the option to integrate the number again, but as my phone will not receive a call on the Sprint network, I am stuck.
Yesterday and today, I was in a roaming area, my phone worked there to dial out, but no incoming calls or voice mail. When someone calls in, "we are unable to connect your call, please try again".
One tech tried to tell me it was a phone issue, I believe its a network issue.
Thanks again,
Craig
Not an expert here, but maybe you could try a hard reset on ur phone.
I tried the Google voice/Sprint integration and did not like it took over everything, I.e. phone, voice msg, and texting.
I however was able to un-integrate VIA GV website and uninstall/reinstall the app. Now just running it for voice mail.
Did some searching on xda prior to this and read some threads where people talked about conducting a hard reset to un-fuk GV issues.
Just a thought.

I just noticed the part about the Sero plan. There is a Google Voice account code that needs to be active on your account for this to work. It shows up as a $0 charge under your phone, same place where your $10 premium data charge would show online.
Sprint Tech got me to Hard reset (factory reset), luckily I pulled the SD card just prior.
Just removed all reference to my cell number in GV needed to remove the # form forwarding. Called Sprint to remove SOC for GV. I can now make and receive calls!!!
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.
Wheni trying to change my voicemail from "my carrier" to "google voice", it says something like it was unable to forward, do I want to forward anyway and I say yes but it just doesn't go through.
I deactivated google voicemail by logging in online and deactivating and deactivating but that didn't work. Please help. Thanks.
Same problem.

I had to call T-Mobile to activate Call Forwarding, which I had on previous phones, in outer to set Google Voice up properly.

If you are on the $30 prepaid T-Mo plan, it does not include call forwarding. Call T-Mo and tell them to disable your voicemail.
Just set up GV on the phone and ignore the error. It will use GV for voicemail, no forwarding required.
I'm on regular postpaid.
I had the same problem, I went to Google Voice on my computer removed all other phones and added the HTC One with a code they gave me. The problem with the app for the One is it won't setup forwarding for you so you have to go to call settings and set all calls to forward to your Google Voice number.
