So there is the built in Voicemail app now.. I create a pin and confirm it but it says connection cannot be made to server. anyone have this issue?
Here
I have it too. Can't get it to connect!
Hi, I had the same issue with mine. You need to contact AT&T and have them activate visual voicemail on their end. It will take about 5 minutes, then you will be good to go.

I assume your talking about Google Voice? Are you trying to use it for your voice mail or what? A little more detail would make it easier to help you.

I'd be a dummy if I couldnt set up Google Voice, I would say the voicemail part is seperate being that I can still use Google Voice without forwarding my voicemail.
I'm talking about the voicemail forwarding process for Google Voice. I can never forward my voicemail to use Google Voice's. It denies me. If I need to make it clearer let me know.
I can dial and recieve google voice calls, I tried to forward with the Google Voice app and manually with the dialer.

That IS the process provided by the Google Voice app..so yes I've tried it. It wont let me, I'll try and get a screen shot. SO u guys can keep helpin'
ok...so I don't know howta add pictures...
I got Google Voice as my voicemail provider without any issues tho the little setup process during the initial google voice setup did not work.
On your phone open the dialer program and enter the following *004*YourGoogleNumber# and then Send or call.
So it should look like *004*15555551234#
These directions are in google voice if you log in from a PC and go to Settings > Voice Settings > Phones > Activate/Deactivate Voicemail on this phone.
Are you on Flex-Pay? I think they dissable the auto-magic google voice setup on flex-pay accounts.
The manual method mentioned should work fine.

Hey Guys,
Has anyone managed to get Google Voice to work on the S5? On every other phone that I've had, and it's been a lot in the last year, I always just install the app, run through configuration and it's fine. On the S5, I simply can't get it to work.
I only use Google Voice for my voicemails. I don't make or receive calls with my Google Voice number. Every time I run through the setup it gives me an error and then says if I want to change providers or something like that. If I hit yes, it fails. If I hit no, my Google Voice voicemail doesn't work.
Any ideas? I went to the Google Voice website and deleted my phone and added it again with no success. What is going wrong?
Thanks!

you probably need to re-forward VM to GV. My S5 kept giving me an error when I tired to do it via the app, so I manually forwarded to my GV# via..
*004*xxx-xxx-xxxx# (where xxx-xxx-xxxx is your Google Voice phone number) then Press Call
PS: I'm not certain if you need to, but I set up my AT&T voicemail before I forwarded to GV,
I guess I got lucky -- I ran through the GV setup via the app and it worked perfectly the first time. I kept having issues when trying to set it up on my mothers S4...had to eventually reboot her phone and change it manually in settings. For my S5, it worked fine the first run through.
I also set up AT&T visual voicemail before GV. I did this just to double-check if my old voicemails were still there.

My phone is sending calls to my voicemail as it should, but I'm not getting a notification. I suspect it's because the phone's name and picture doesn't show up in my list of phones and seen as a "non-verizon device.
Should the notifications show up once VZW releases the phone, or will it forever be "unrecognized"?

You need to log on to verizonwireless.com and change your voice mail option from "visual voicemail" to "basic voicemail"

Apparently it is included in my More Everything plan. Now, if I could only figure out how to use it, or unsubscribe....
VZW FAQ's talk about an actual VVM app. I don't have it, and cannot locate in the Play Store. Without that app, I can't figure out how to access VVM to try it. Maybe I'd like it.
Not having the app means I also cannot access VVM settings to unsubscribe. Fascinating Catch 22.........

Actually, as I was looking around, I found an app called "youmail".
Just installed it, and I'm going to give it a go. I works like VVM, but first it "intercepts" calls going over to VM @ my VZW server, and then puts them in the youmail inbox. It puts an alert up in the notification barWhat I find intriguing is that it can send an email alert, which allows me to hear the VM from within the email, and I can access my account and my messages from the web. It can also send TXT alerts, but hey, that means I have my phone in hand, so what's the point of that?
Better lucky than good. I'll entertain myself with this app for a bit. Then, I'll see if I want to go back to the VZW service
I've been on YouMail since I got my N6 in December. So far, so good.

I have not been receiving voicemail notifications on my Turbo. I don't want to have to use Visual Voice Mail. Does anyone have any ideas? Please help, thanks
Did you set it up? This was the first phone I've had in a while that I had to set everything up again and until I did, I wasn't getting them either obviously. Also, make sure that the box to receive notifications is turned on for the app under setting-apps-vm.
I'm having the same problem. Google Voice wasn't picking up for some reason so I switched to VZW VVM and I just flat out don't get a notification even with them enabled. I have to go in and check to see if I have any VMs after I miss a call.

Thanks for the help, I've decided to give Google Voice a try. I get text displays of the messages as well as the audio files to my email
You need to log onto your verizon account on your computer and then switch the voicemail. Go to the free one and not the visual voicemail. Something like that. I just looked and the interface changed and I can't find where to do it now. It is a plan feature.
Hi,
Has anybody got native Visual Voicemail in Google Dialer to work? I'm trying to on T-Mobile but it's a no go for me so far
Thank you

I'm not on the same carrier but I failed to get it to work properly with mine I could get notifications and call I'd but no actual message.
For t-mobile this has been "broken" for months.
From the web it seems that T-Mobile dropped support for the built in visual voicemail. You have to use their app and well it doesn't work ever for me. It doesn't sync, or notifies, and constantly throws error saying we can't access voicemail please dial voicemail instead.
This just means my voicemail is now never ever checked.
Sign up for a Google voice. Set the phone calls to forward to the number if you are not available. Use it for voicemail. It will transcribe and email them to you.
Att's app sucks also. I miss my built in from Windows mobile 10 and this was the next best things.
