Oh dude, you have to have voicemail in your Verizon plan to get it on your phone. That is not a big deal expensive feature. Verizon gives people "loyalty perks" just for staying with them. When my contract ran out, I never changed, I just put up with it. Then they called me and asked me to say and they would guarantee unlimited data for life. At that time, you really could not get it anywhere, anymore so I took it. No change to my account or bill, contract ran out and I still have it. Voicemail on phone is like "nothing". You should just call customer service and ask for it. Tell them T-Mobile will pay your early termination fee if you swap, but "you really like Verizon and want to stay". Then ask if you can just have the voicemail for free. If text or picture messaging does not work, of course make sure that it is in your

Verizon plan. Then ask for help. There are a lot more people who can help in the main thread if we get stuck here.

I really don't use My MMS, I like Go SMS Pro instead. It is free, I never pay for any of that stuff and once you see all the features and make it the way you want, it is hard to go back to plain MMS. But, if MMS does not work at all, Go SMS should not work either, I think. Are you having problems with MMS not working? Just try Go SMS and see if that works, uninstall it if you do not like it. Just try for a test. If it doesn't, make sure it is in your Verizon plan first. If not, then ask questions. There are many more people that can help in the main thread if we get stuck here.

And really, tell Verizon to put the dammed voicemail on your phone unless you somehow got a really cheap plan from them. My bill is supposed to be about $120/Mo but by the time I get the bill with all the taxes on it, it is really $150. I tried like hell to get them to drop that bill down, significantly, and if you do that, they really are NOT friendly anymore. Talking about "Oh we can take away your unlimited data and that will save you nine dollars on your bill. Really? ...nine freaking dollars you cheap bastards, are you kidding me?!! Cut the bill in half like everybody else charges and maybe we can get somewhere. No. No way. They just will not give it up. Stuck with the high phone bill but I do have a lot of features. Verizon charges $20/Mo for "Hotspot, whether you use it or not. Guess what? On cm11, we have free WiFi AP, the exact same thing, for free, and it will power up 5 devices around me on 4G to rocket power cable modem speed. I use it to power my tablet, nice to have a 10" screen instead of a tiny phone screen. Also use it to power my laptop anywhere I got, or in a power outage so I can watch Neflix or any of a gazillion free streaming HD shows on the internet. That 4G and ability to use it on anything alone is worth about $70. 4G is cable modem speed, over 20Mbps! Watch any kind of HD you want, download an entire CD in minutes.
