Just a quick note on Google Voice... I was using that before Youmail, but it is not really a replacement for these visual voicemail apps, unless you tell everyone to call you at the Google Voice number. I had the 'Do not disturb" feature on so that calls forwarded from my line would go into voicemail, but it still ended up ringing on the Google end, resulting in 8+ rings before it went into voicemail. To make maters worse, there was a detectable transition from the T-mobile ring to the Google ring.

Also with this setup I could not use the Google Voice number as a firewall, which it what it does best. You know, a phone number to politely give to that "wierd guy" that insists on trading contact information!
[G1 Apps and Games] johnnylicious:
samething i found out my voicemail don't work :/

ima call later also ugh.
[G1 Apps and Games] fochizel2000:
I had to do two things:

1) Switch pland to that new Android Data Plan, which is virtually the same...

2) Go into Settings -> Call Settings -> Voicemail Number and change it back to the T-moblie service Number.

I initially ran into the same issue, because the Youmail client sets their number there. The same is true for Phone Fusion.

Hope this helps.
[G1 Apps and Games] weezerisock:
Yeah thats why I didn't add it. I only mentioned it because of the amount of people in this thread asking if T-Mo app was better than google voice.
[G1 Apps and Games] tokyomonster:
make sure you're not forwarding to googlevoice or anything.
[G1 Apps and Games] danielmid84:
Called today and set up the VVM, works fine. Getting duplicate notifications though. Any way to shut off the voicemail notification?
[G1 Apps and Games] DKYang:
There isn't an option in the settings to modify the notifications. Might want to send 'em an email about it. They will probably have it in a future update.

I just called them, changed my plan with the 400 texts(only a name change really), and resetted my call forwarding number to default. Now everything works great besides the settings. We can't always have the speaker on, but whatever. I'm sure they will fix it later and I sent them an email.
[G1 Apps and Games] grokdesigns:
Thinking about trying this...I've tried YouMail, Hullomail, and am currently using Google Voice for voicemail only.
[G1 Apps and Games] tcindie:
When on wifi I only get the regular voicemail notification, and the vvm app doesn't seem to work (contrary to my previous statement).

When on edge, I only get the vvm notification of a new voicemail, so clicking it takes me to the vvm app rather than dialing the voicemail access number (this is good, how it should work!)

I have to drive about 4 miles to hit the nearest 3g area, so I can't comment on how it acts on the 3g network. I assume it would be the same as on the edge network though.
[G1 Apps and Games] amarkow2:
whats the tmo service number?

i feel like this might be whats wrong because i tried youmail and PF but i honestly have no clue what your talking about...

your not talking about the customer service number r u?

edit:so i checked out the service number-i googled it to find it out- and i have the correct number in there and i believe my package has been upgraded so time for me to call tmo...
[G1 Apps and Games] amarkow2:
on the phone with them right now...the lady has no clue! damn

this whole thing is weird cause my regular voicemail isnt even working...i left a voicemail on my phone and when i call it from my phone it says i have no messages...hmmmmm!?!?!?!

you have ne luck johnny?
[G1 Apps and Games] johnnylicious:
still no clue :/ they said my vv was already activate and it could still take another 24 to fully activate ahhh

my regular voicemail isnt' working either ugh.
[G1 Apps and Games] amarkow2:
ok so i just got off the phone with them and i atleast got my vm figured out...everything was still going to my youmail account...when i logged on there were all my messages in my youmail account online...so i officially terminated the service with them which i figured was done when i uninstalled so that should fix my vm problem...ima test that in a min but vv still doesnt work...

edit: just tested...i left a message on my phone and my phone immediately notified me of a voicemail so i dailed in and there it was...atleast my vm is working again...johnny if u used youmaill log onto your account and officially end that service and try calling ur vm again and that might do it?...not to mention my phone is running significantly faster now...hmmm i now hate youmail...lol
[G1 Apps and Games] tokyomonster:
make sure you're unforwarding your numbers dudes

also, i found a bug, i'd like someone else to confim

either go to settings and turn "speaker" off, or listen to a voicemail and turn the loudspeaker off, now try and play a ringtone, get a notification, anything, and it all goes through the ear piece.

Almost woke up late for work because of this. (wasn't playing my alarm)
[G1 Apps and Games] johnnylicious:
my number isn't forwarded anywhere lol.
[G1 Apps and Games] johnnylicious:
i never used a youmail vm lol so yeah i'll just wait another day if not i'll call cs AGAIN Lol.
[G1 Apps and Games] domanads2k4:
I just added it the lady was cool. It changes your from the tmobile data plan to the android data plan same price so everybody should add it :)
[G1 Apps and Games] BSDADON:
Just called tmobile and got it activated and its working already. Just tested this out. You are correct, now to find out how to fix it:(
[G1 Apps and Games] amarkow2:
hmm idk i have my voicemail back now i just need the provisioning to kick in i guess...idk this is annoying...
[G1 Apps and Games] BSDADON:
So every time I go into voicemail settings it turns the speaker off. Don't know wtf that is about. Only way I have gone about fixing it is opening the settings in the visual voicemail and turning speaker on and pressing home to leave the app, if I press back to go back to the voicemail it resets itself to off. Hopefully this isn't a temporary fix and my alarm goes off
[G1 Apps and Games] flexnix:
Wow. Worked very fast. I was easily on the phone no more than 2-3mins with the guy. He added the service at no additional charge since I got unlimited txt. Downloaded the app 1 minute later and its already up and running. :D
[G1 Apps and Games] amarkow2:
i jealous still cant get mine to work!!!!:(:(:(
[G1 Apps and Games] sparticus78:
tmobile think's there slick

i have the 24.99 g1 plan i get unlimited data and 400 txt unlimited email and unlimited im's. when they upgrade your plan to the android data plan you get 400 txt emails and im's. email and ims should be part of the the data like it is now. i'll stick with phone phusion. i can't believe i have to loose unlimited emails and im's to get vvm.
[G1 Apps and Games] amarkow2:
i still unfortunately have had zero luck. I have uninstalled the app and after work i will call tmo and ask them to redo my data plan and redo the V V provisioning. I will reinstall the app and hopefully all goes well and if not...w.e. i dont wanna deal with this anymore...

will update late...:confused:
[G1 Apps and Games] BSDADON:
damn sorry to hear that. just seems strange that it worked right away for most of us, might be a network thing in your area or the person didn't update your plan properly:confused:
[G1 Apps and Games] MetalMessiah78:
That's what I think too. Mine worked right away. The 2nd CS rep was the one that told me to take out the battery, wait about a minute, and put it back in. If makes any difference, I asked to speak with Technical Support.

The 1st rep I spoke with was just a regular rep. She didn't know what I was talking about, so she put me on hold and spoke with someone who was obviously more knowledgeable. When she came back on the line, she said that all I had to do was uninstall the app and reinstall it for it to work. I knew that was bogus and called back.
[G1 Apps and Games] Senorkabob:
Does this thing transcript your VM like Google Voice?
[G1 Apps and Games] narunetto:
I called last night and this "Android Tech" told me that i just have to wait for it... I don't get it.
[G1 Apps and Games] nickmgray:
Just called t-mobile and they switched my plan over to the new Androdi data plan. Still on 400 sms and unlimited data. I was instructed to re-install the app and restart the handset. She said it could take up to two hours for it to start up. 3pm central right now, I'll post back when its working.
[G1 Apps and Games] MetalMessiah78:
Nope. Just Visual Voicemail like the iPhone.
[G1 Apps and Games] domanads2k4:
Mine is installed and all that it worked once no it's acting gay and I get 2 voicemail notifications and the visual voicemail takes like 5 minutes after I get the regular notification. Any ideas on a quick fix?
[G1 Apps and Games] daedelush:
yeah i read this post yesterday and i downloaded the app and before i ran it i called tmobile and i asked to speak with tech support. they told me that it is the same as the g1 data plans only changing cause of the magic. i asked about features and pricing and he said that everything stays the same. never told me anything about email or im. he just said that its the same exact data/messaging plan just that the android data plan has the available provisioning for the vvm. i have the unlimited data/text plan and the price and everything on my tmobile account is the same only instead of it saying g1 data it says android. right after i got off the phone i ran the app for the 1st time and it said i had to enable or activate it, so i did and it worked instantly. within 2 mins of getting off the phone with tmo. now this is just my understanding and what i went through.
[G1 Apps and Games] Rekna:
I had no problems getting this working for both of my phones. I called in and they upgraded the plans. Within 2 minutes each phone had a text saying the plans were upgraded and the visual voicemail worked fine.

With that been said, i'm not a big fan of their version. Here are the problems I see.

1) Doesn't work if you are connected over wifi!

2) You get 2 notifications for a new voicemail, 1 from android and 1 from the app. There doesn't seem to be a way to disable the one in android.

3) The apps notification comes way late (it looks like it is a query notification and not a push notification!!!)

Today I set up my android phone to use my google voice voice-mail using this guide: http://www.cnet.com/8301-19736_1-10288651-251.html. This has all the same features, works over wifi, only gives you a single notification, provides online access, and provides transcripts! I'm not sure if it uses push notifications or not.

Anyway I suggest doing this to everyone, the process was painless and only added a single ring of time when someone is calling in.
[G1 Apps and Games] kingskidd268:
I got flex Unlimited text and I got It on in less than 15 mins. Funny tmobile sent me a text to let me know that it was on, but then sent me a text that said. I called them and they said it was a mistake.
[G1 Apps and Games] NPS_CA:
The app developers are some VM sw 3rd party.

What they should do is:

- Look for the VM indication from the network,

- THEN refresh/query the VM app once they flag VM indication is on status and push the message info...

Right now they are just doing:

- Standard VM notification

- A pull (or maybe a delayed push) to their app to notify of new messages and get message info....

>> so you get notified twice...

Let's hope they clean this up over time otherwise I will just go back to Google Voice.
[G1 Apps and Games] kingskidd268:
I got my Google Voice for my home and cell at night. Day time google home and cell to tmoblie.
[G1 Apps and Games] lyric911:
Similarly, if you have a voice mail playing through the speaker and get a call...the call is through the speaker and can't be turned off.
[G1 Apps and Games] amarkow2:
uninstalled for a few hrs...just reinstalled and now its working finally! yay!
[G1 Apps and Games] Paging Dr B:
Works great. They changed my 24.99 plan and said vvm doesn't cost extra. You get the same data plus 400 texts and. Vvm for 24.99

The service started immediately after I rebooted. Awesome app.
[G1 Apps and Games] Do0zman:
I didnt even reboot called them got the vvm already downloaded the app earlier waited about 2 min then refreshed and it works like a champ.
[G1 Apps and Games] fochizel2000:
Hopefully you already worked it out, but if you have not, your T-mobile voicemail number will depend on the region you are in. You can call CS and they will tell you what yours is. If you think this may be your issue you can verify by checking the web interface for Phone Fusion or Youmail to see if messages are continuing to pile up there.

Cheers
[G1 Apps and Games] CameronParadox:
The sad thing is that T-mobile didn't train or even inform the customer service reps about the Visual Voice-mail which is sad the (this is when it came out) the guy though i was stupid lol
[G1 Apps and Games] ivanmmj:
I called. The guy was like, yea, I'll change that for you. We geek talk for a while (he seemed to know his Android well enough.) Then I hang up. (The conversation was not longer than 2 minutes.) By the time I hung up, the visual voicemail was already active.

Not a bad experience in my case.
[G1 Apps and Games] Paging Dr B:
so have you guys noticed that VM's only update when wifi is turned off?

Maybe im trippin.
[G1 Apps and Games] lyric911:
Yes, and that's why I uninstalled and went back to Google Voice for my VVM needs.
[G1 Apps and Games] Paging Dr B:
google voice requires calls to go to the new GV# doesnt it? Or can I use GV and my real mobile# ?
[G1 Apps and Games] uberingram:
It requires you have a GV account with a GV number.
[G1 Apps and Games] nickmgray:
It's been over 24 hours now and my VVM is still not working. When I open the app it tells me that I need to activate my account. I spoke with tech support and they put me on how for a few minutes. When they got back on the line they said that there's a system wide VVM activation issue and it's not an issue with my account since everything was showing up as it should on their side.

Unfortunately, they said there's no time estimate on fixing the issue, even though it is affecting thousands of customers. I was instructed to call back in 24 hours if things were not working by then.
[G1 Apps and Games] Paging Dr B:
be sure to turn off your wifi connection.

VVM will not work with it on.
[G1 Apps and Games] Paging Dr B:
grrrr. yeah i have a GV account just hesitant about having to give people another number.
[G1 Apps and Games] JackD3ath:
I succesfully added this to two G1's, and I am on the family unlimited texts no problems.

App only needs to activate with wifi off, but app will use wifi.
[G1 Apps and Games] bahnburner:
You don't have to give people another number. Set your call forwarding to your google voice number, and then set your google voice account to "Do Not Disturb."

It will send a call to your GV number if you don't answer, and go immediately to VM.
[G1 Apps and Games] ^tyrant^:
just tried to change my service to the andriod service, i have the unlimited data/text plan, and this is the error that i got on the website

We’re sorry, but we're not currently able to complete your request online. If you have questions, or if you’d like to change your plan or services, please call Customer Care at 1-877-453-1304 or dial 611 on your T-Mobile phone.

tried upgrading from the phone and got a similar msg... looks like tmo is having issues maybe

Didn't work online for me. Called 611 from the phone and I was activated and setup in under 5 minutes
[G1 Apps and Games] Sevensix9:
The only gripe/complaint I have is that I still get the standard Voicemail notification also, I'd like to just get the VV notification. Anyone else found a way of dealing with this?
[G1 Apps and Games] bigslanki:
In theory ONE could just get the Android data plan just for the web...and then use your Google Voice Number for sending and recieving text??? someone correct me if im wrong or if it has already been said???
[G1 Apps and Games] shadowhacker27:
no sir

Im on unlimited data and that's everything u actually need for free visual voicemail..It is really cool because you can even see the number/name of who called you

[G1 Apps and Games] bigslanki:
not true, yesterday i had an option to change my service to the new android data online, the after selecting the service same error came back to me. and now a day later there is no option at all for changing services???

I believe the change is happening, and causing error because in less than 3days the Mytouch3g(saphire) will be workined into this lineup.

if you notice the Mytouch can now be selected as my phone option online.

Not everyone is in high school. ;)

On a serious note though, it's remarkable to me why everybody even still uses text messaging when they have access to always-on gtalk/etc.
[G1 Apps and Games] jacknmary:
I get your point... but I think txt'ing doesnt leave any pressure to answer immediately like messengers may do. "Plausible Deniability" in a way
[G1 Apps and Games] MetalMessiah78:
It's been well over a decade since I could claim that I was in High School, but every year I get older, chicks seem to stay the same age. If you think about it, if you receive 200 texts and you reply to each one, there goes your 400 texts.

GTalk is cool, but it's not reliable. I might start a conversation on Gtalk and a few minutes later I'll get an email showing me message I received while "offline", though I never did anything to disconnect. Plus, very few of the people that I actually talk to have a Gtalk or mobile Gtalk account.

And... Sometimes it's just easier or more convenient to text rather then call.
[G1 Apps and Games] Wisefire:
I went to a T-Mobile store and talked to a guy about it, He called and all they did was switch me from the G1 plan to the Android plan. I still have everything the same.

SMS is pretty on every phone now.. IM/Gtalk is not. It's remarkable to me that you think that everyone has these on their phone or even that you think that everyone can afford the data plan that goes along with those. Personally, all the Chat clients I've found have either sucked or drained my battery way too fast. SMS all the way.
[G1 Apps and Games] JackD3ath:
I have to agree with you Nolageek. I find texting alot easier and less drain on resources.
[G1 Apps and Games] ThR1LL:
So I got this app to work before. Once I upgraded the rom I was using I seem to always get a connection error. Does this mean I have to talk to Tmobile CS everytime I wipe or flash a new rom?
[G1 Apps and Games] gsgleason:
seriously, try to get google voice and use that as your voicemail, at which point you can use the google voice app and view/listen to messages which includes transcription, etc. just need to change for your forward number to your GV number.

Google Voice ftw. dont have to change your plan, or have two apps taking up space, and who doesn't like free texting if you do decide to start using the number from google voice.
[G1 Apps and Games] jacknmary:
but it eats your forwarding minutes, doesnt it?
[G1 Apps and Games] glock30:
I tried the google voice thing, and didn't like having to wait like 6 more rings for google to pick up. I decided to call tmobile to change to the android plan... literally 30 seconds talking to the guy, he knew what I wanted, changed it, then while I was still on the phone I got the text notification.

Still waiting for a call to come in... or I may test it this evening...

[G1 Apps and Games] rayne127:
Tried to activate the VV and it wasn't working from my phone so I called cs and they said that the android data plan is on my account and it should be working so they sent me over to the android tech. He had me do some stupid things with my phone which didn't work, then he asked how many apps I have installed on my phone (I have about 35, all installed on my SD card..which I didn't tell him that part lol) and he said that one of my apps is probably interfering with the VV, which I thought was stupid, and he told me I should reload my phone to factory settings then install VV, see if it activates, then install each of my apps one by one while checking to make sure VV still works...

Does this sound right to anyone? I don't see how any of the market apps would be able to interfere with the VV being activated...?? I really don't want to have to lose all my settings and apps.. it's a pain to download and install and reset everything the way I like it...

Any suggestions?
[G1 Apps and Games] jj71787:
i know this sounds stupid but did you reboot your phone. After i called cs i had to reboot my phone to activate vv
[G1 Apps and Games] rayne127:
Yes, I've rebooted... I've reinstalled VV, I've uninstalled a few apps that I don't really use to see if that worked and nothing... I checked my account online and it does say Android data instead of G1 data... I don't know if it makes a difference or not, but I never did receive a text message saying that I have the Android data now?? I'm at a loss and I really don't want to reset my phone just for that app... If I can't get it working I'll just live without it, even though it would be really nice to have.
[G1 Apps and Games] Unicornasaurus:
Does anyone know if this works on non T-Mobile carriers? I have Visual Voicemail from my iPhone plan..and I've been searching everywhere for a visual voicemail for my phone(I'm on the Rogers network)
[G1 Apps and Games] xManMythLegend:
Which of the two ((GV v VVM )) gives you the response quicker ?

Seems the GV method I would have to wait for the App to check and pull the info. 2 notifications is a pain but at least its instant ,no ?

Seems like battery drain for the GV is a big drawback.
[G1 Apps and Games] waacow:
Does Visual Voicemail only work when not accessing via Wifi similar to "My Accounts"?

When I get a voicemail at home with Wifi, i receive the standard voicemail notification which has the voicemail # for me to call. The visual voicemail didn't seems to pick up on new voicemail until much later on and I think i have to manual synchronized it.

I suppose i try it with Wifi turn off.
[G1 Apps and Games] ivanfilippov:
I am also interested in a Rogers compatible visual voicemail, if anyone has more information. :)

JF 1.51 here and while it worked the very 1st time I ran it and was running the setup and pin etc.. however now.. since then, it crashes out.

Hoping I dont have to stay with youmail.
