So far the SGS2 is great except for one thing, the antiquated voice mail system app.
As much as the iPhone sucked a chubby, it did have that one good feature. I’ve searched the Market and Forum for something comparable but came up empty handed. I’m not looking for Dialers, Contacts, Voice Dial, or anything else fancy; I just want that damn Apple Voice Mail interface.
Does anyone have a suggestion? Would love to see someone put it in the stock Phone/Dialer.

i felt the same way until I installed Google Voice, its is great! Does visual voicemail and it transcribes the message as well. A little tricky to set up at first but works great!

Install Google Voice from the market, and then run it. Just follow the steps.
Don't know why I didn't install this earlier cause it freaking rules.

From a web browser www.Google.com/voice then go into the settings.

you can use google voice for free texting from your actual number? I used heywire for free texting, but people that texted my real # weren't notified that I couldn't receive texts, then I split an "unlimited" with a friend for $30/mo
Google voice does it for free from your real # without error?

yup. Or you can choose a new gvoice number, like having 2 lines, but ones is totally free! And people can call and text that number, and you will receive it on your device, also you can choose before each call whether to call from your g voice number or your reg number.
Hello everyone,
I currently have two Google Voice numbers, one for personal and one for work. I'd like to be able to use them both on my phone, but I'm not entirely sure how I'd go about doing it. I saw this thread but it never got any response.
I want to use my personal Google Voice number with my main Google Voice app, but be able to access my work Google Voice number through another app or some other way.
Does anyone out there have any idea how I could go about doing this?
Thanks!
Ricky

I would say access one with the app.
The other in browser set your cell number to receive text messages (regular SMS app) / calls.

I just upgraded from my Samsung Captivate which was running CM10 to the HTC One. One of the things I loved about the old phone was that all my voicemails would show up in my call log and I could play them from there. When I tried setting up GV on the new phone, I got a bunch of error messages and somehow the phone removed my old call forwarding rules and then couldn't reapply them. So I logged out of the Google Voice app and tried again. No dice. Finally, I went back and did it the old fashioned way by manually typing in the MMI code and managed to get the calls forwarded again to GV. When I went to the dialer app to manually switch the voicemail provider to GV, I again get the error messages and when it asks to still switch to the new provider I click OK. However, it kicks out another error message and then shows that nothing has changed and still lists AT&T as the default voicemail provider. So, has anyone managed to get this working properly or have AT&T and HTC once again colluded to completely bork functionality that works oh so well on stock Android?
Just got a response to my support request from HTC. Laughably, they claim they "cannot guarantee full functionality with Play Store applications." That is pretty pathetic. In their quest to differentiate, they eliminated one of the best features of Android in my mind. I hated dialing numbers and using the dialpad to access and control voicemail years ago. When Google made Google Voice available on Android, it was one of the factors that made me choose it over the iPhone. Then they made it even better than visual VM on iOS by integrating it into the dialer. This dialer from HTC is a huge step in the wrong direction. I don't need all this FB and Twitter integration crap. Just let me access my VM in the best possible way.
I have it working but I never got it to work using the Google voice app configuration.
It was still working when I swapped my son card to the HTC one from my gs3.
I had to go into the phone app and change the forwarding numbers manually. Also the voice mail number.
If that doesn't work I think you can contact at&t and they can fix it for you.
Wait...you have your Google voice voicemails showing up in the dialer app so that you can click play and listen to them without going into the GV app? I did manage to get the forwarding set up, but I want the voicemails to show in the dialer like they did on CM10.
Not working on Sprint and HTC One either

Same issue, voicemail set up, but I can not get the call log to show voicemails. Tried unchecking voicemail display as indicated in other forums, but doesn't work either way.
Bump...no dialer integration or notifications is a big problem for me as well.
Instead of making a new thread I will just bump this one. Did anyone managed to get they HTC One to integrate Google Voice visual voicemail into the dialer? I searched everywhere but couldn't find any info on that.
Maybe there are any 3rd party modifications that can fix this issue?
p.s Just to clear things for someone who reads between the lines my GV Voicemail is working fine, what I am trying to figure out is how to integrate it into dialer and get visual voicemail from there.

No luck. I stopped trying. I may give it another go.
Just installed ARHD Google edition Rom and visual google voice voicemail works great in there, but I prefer Sense based Rom so will go back to it. Shame visual voicemail doesn't work on it, seems like HTC broke the compatibility.
If anyone knows a solution that would be great!
Is there a way to access visual voicemail for free? I understand that you can rout your voicemails through google voice and access them that way, but I was looking for something more innate within the rom without routing my voicemail. If not, what are others doing out there to get around paying for visual voicemail?
PS Im running JellyBeans ROM

Most people use google voice.
I don't think there are any replacements over VVM other than gv. I dont' know why you wouldn't use GV, since it has more robust functions than VVM does. it is easy to setup, too. took me like < 10 minutes.
I use youmail try it out

GVoice is the way to go.
There are a few other VVM apps on the market that have their own setup so you have to pay them for it instead of VZW. There are also quite a few that use "X" carriers service and their app is mainly just a different UI.

According to me, GV is the best VVM out there but still I have an experience with Youmail which was no that bad so I'd recommend you to tryout the YouMail... (You'll get back to GV, I know)
Hi guys. I use google voice for calls and texting. Is there any way to set google voice as default txt app so when I try to use google assistant to send txt it would use Google voice rather than SMS app that comes with the phone? I have Pixel 3 XL
I wa searching but could not find the answer.
Thank you. Charles

Same boat here. I switched for my business and would love to send sms mms from gv number without Hangouts, as i only use stock messaging app. But as of now, it seems to really lack support and I keep reading gv messaging continues to have some glitchy bugs. Interested to see if they start supporting more soon.
