[Q] how to setup google voice for voicemail - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so I think that I found this before but on the xda app search can't seem to find again. Is there anything special I have to do to get google voice to work as voice mail?

I think its *#004##yournumber#. Might be 1 too many # or minus a * lol

if you have google voice installed on your phone, just go into your main settings, call settings, voicemail, and select google voice as your voicemail provider

nahhh..that didn't work for me at least. I had to initiate it online..since then no problems

using google voice

does anyone know of any one app that can set only CERTAIN numbers in my contact list to be called using google voice and includes a dialer as well? i'll gladly pay for an app that includes this functionality. i kind of can't believe something like this wasn't included in the stock app?

You can set Google Voice to ask you if you want to use it to make the call every time you try to call someone.
yeah, i had that option selected for a while, but it got to be mega annoying. thanks, though!

Try Voice Plus Free from the market. You have to add which numbers you DO NOT want to call with Google Voice.

[Q] is there a way to use carrier voicemail and google voice?

I love getting google voice transcriptions sent via text message but being that I have a limited days plan with att (250 mb) I'd still like to use carrier voicemail to listen to the message in order to save valuable data usage. Is this possible?

You can call your Google voice number and listen to it like the normal one so you are using minutes and not data

Just make sure you don't look at the transcript on your Google voice app first. Once the voicemail is marked as read, you can't listen to it on the phone call. Once you update your voicemail preferences, the voicemail key on your dial pad will call Google voice instead of att.

Google Voice Text Integration?

I don't use carrier texting (refuse to pay $30 so I have texts disabled). I use Google Voice as my primary number.
Does the Galaxy Gear allow changing the text function to use an app other than stock messaging (i.e. Google Voice).
I would think this could work, since when someone texts you at your google voice number it goes into the regular text on the phone? That should forward to the phone...
I don't think it works. I had my phone originally set up as you suggested but I want getting messages to the watch

You have to go to settings in Google voice on your pc and click on the box to forward google voice messages to your email. Use the stock samsung email app and you will get Google voice messages that way. This is what I do. The only thing is that the Samsung email app doesn't push email as fast as the Gmail app but you can't use the Gmail app on the watch.

Need help with Google voice

Can't set up Google voice in my Verizon
Moto x. Any ideas?

not sure what you mean by "set up"...
some carriers do not let you modify your voicemail settings through the google voice app, you have to use their technical support. that means in order to use google voice as your voicemail provider you need to call your carriers customer service and tell them to set your phone to forward UNANSWERED calls to #GOOGLE VOICE NUMBER#.
Thanks. I found that I had to choose Google voice under phone settings as my voicemail. And then in dialer dial *71(Google voicemail #)

Are you sure that you entered your google voice number properly in the forwarding options? I had trouble for the first few hours, but called T-mobile and they checked the forwarding settings... now it works properly.
In the call log, you will see only a missed call. The message itself will only show up in your gmail list, and the browser version of google voice... I think.? There is also a stand-alone .apk app for gVoice, available in the play store]

I am sure ebbed it right as it works just fine for calls. But in a 4.1 I believe they added the option to have your vm show up in the call log to listen to only. This worked fine on my n4. And the option is selected in the stand alone app.

I'm having some strange issues with GV on my Z1S. Just switched to T-Mobile last week and immediately made GV my voicemail. I removed my number from the website and re-added it, went through the prompts, and got the forwarding working. Now, I have 2 strange issues:
1. All the time the phantom voicemail icon will appear on my phone. I force quit "phone" (the app) and it goes away, but it'll show up sometime tomorrow or when I reboot my phone or something.
2. The GV voicemail seems to work intermittently (may have some effect on #1). Meaning, someone will call me and tell me they left a message, but the message is no where to be found. My theory is the forwarding didn't kick in, the message went to T-Mobile voicemail, and the phantom icon appeared. However, I can't yet confirm that.
Anyone dealing with either of these issues?
Is there a way to check my T-Mo voicemail after I've set everything up with google voice?
Thanks.
Same issues am having. For number 1 i am going to try and reset my number from the website.
For number 2 I just disabled the option to see vm in the call log.
The Phantom vm is tmobile picking up and then GV taking over so essentially a vm on each. It's annoying
