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.

With Verizon, you have to manually set the call forwarding to your Google Voice. There are 3 different instances when you want to have your calls forwarded.
See this thread for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/fix-google-voice-forwarding-advanced-t2980980
When setting up Google Voice app on the phone, it will probably tell you that the app couldn't set up voicemail properly. That is ok, because you are doing it manually.
However, with the latest Hangouts/SMS changes, I'm not even sure you need the google voice app, if you set your google voice messages to use Hangouts.
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.
Curious if anyone is using Google Voice as their primary voicemail on Verizon? On my S6 Edge I have a Google Voice account and a GV phone number but only calls going to my GV phone number use GV Voicemail. Can I convert to use GV for all my voicemail, including my Verizon phone number? Seems every time I've had a new device and installed Google Voice it asks if I want to use it for my primary VM and when I say yes it says something about Verizon being evil (who didn't know that) and I've never gotten any further.....
Any advice appreciated.

Yes, I'm using without any issue. Been using it for years since my S3 days.
Set up or remove Google voicemail
i had so many issues getting it right on the S6 that after years of using it i just setup Verizons Voicemail
I moved away from GV on my S6E because I found I liked VVM better. GV's voicemail to text kind of sucked and I always had to listen to my messages anyway. Sorry - getting off topic. I'm sure you know this but just in case:
To Activate Google Voice:
Follow these steps to have your mobile phone use Google Voice for voicemail instead of your carrier's voicemail. You can always go back to using your carrier's voicemail later if you want, by entering another code. Learn more here.
Enter the following exactly as written, as if you are dialing someone:
*71-[your Google Voice number]
Press "Send" or "Call" on your phone to dial that number. The phone will appear to make a call and then hang up. When that is completed, you are done!
To Deactivate Google Voice:
Dial *73 and press Send.
So I have an unlocked note 8 from samsung that i'm using on Verizon. Had it about a week and just noticed that I have not received any notifications of missed calls or if I have a voice mail message. I'm not talking about visual voice mail, just plain old basic voicemail. There should be a notification along the top that I have a voice mail. I called *86 and I had a bunch of messages but never received a notification.
Is there a setting I missed? I can't find anything for these.
Thanks
You have two options:
One, go to the website, log in, under Products and Services find Blocks, go to Service Blocks and block off visual voice mail and premium visual voicemail. You'll have basic voice mail only and the notifications should start coming to your phone.
Two, forward unanswered calls to Google Voice. You get a great Google app and you get transcribed voice mails, a feature that Verizon charges $2.99 for in "premium" visual voice mail.
Thanks. I called verizon to see if that was it. I asked that specifically and they said they couldn't turn it off visual voice mail. She turned of an ims setting (I don't know which one) and now I have notification back.
Interesting. I just called Verizon and they said because I have an unlocked phone that I also bought from Best Buy the phone didn't come with the Verizon software on it and I won't be able to get any vm notifications as a result.

You have to login to your MyVerizon and disable both visual voicemail and premium visual voicemail . Just like odesskiy said and then it will go old school and send you a msg with the little logo that you have voicemail. Worked perfectly!!! Glad I went unlocked.
Can someone help me and I am on Sprint and tried calling them no help. Just got an unlocked Note 8 and in my notifications window it says 4 new VM dial *86 and it won't let me get rid of it will not go away. I am using You Mail and have never used Sprints VM but I am thinking when I restored my phone from the backup maybe it downloaded something but I don't see any voicemail app I see the voicemail icon up top in the corner and when I pull down my notifications I see this 4 new voicemails dial *86 and I can swipe it to get to a setting which is just about hiding or blocking phone notification and then I see the phone icon. I've gone under apps and advance apps I was at some screen where I saw the *86 in there forgot how I got there but even still I can't get this notification to go away. Samsung had me do a few things also. I don't want to have to reset my phone just for that. But I googled my question and it took me here. I never used Sprint's VVM but do I still need Sprint to block it it's not on my phone unlocked phones don't have it unless I have regular VM somewhere but I can't find it to make this go away from my notification screen. Thanks!
It didn't work for me.

I blocked the " visual voicemail" then when I blocked the "premium visual voicemail" it automatically unblocked the "visual voicemail". So, I tried to block the visual voicemail again and it unblocked the premium visual voicemail. Seems only one can be blocked at a time--in my instance anyway. I didn't get any messages.
Same for me on my note 8 . Just switched from Verizon to Sprint because they had 5 lines unlimited for 100 bucks and 10gig each phone hotspot. Can find regular voicemail icon to put a shortcut on my phone? Been on Sprint tech support but don't see how on this unlocked note 8..still love the phone
Hi, I have the same issue on my unlocked note 8 regarding voicemail notification. I just spoke to a Verizon agent, had her block my premium visual voice mail, call me on another line to leave a voice mail and finally got a notification that I have a missed call and a new voice mail. I hope this helps as a Real Estate agent not having voice mail notification is bad news! I'm beyond grateful to see that notification again.
I have an unlocked Note8 and Verizon. Been missing my voicemail notifications and can't install the verizon voicemail app... with instructions above, I called Verizon Support and asked them to turn off the Visual Voicemail feature I've been paying for the last 10 years because I had a new unlocked phone that doesn't support it... not branded Verizon phone... So, support said they turned the feature off, and to reboot my phone. I rebooted, then got a text saying that Touch ID has been enabled for my phone, then from another phone, I called myself and left a message. I got a notification! And, the notification came with a link to click and install a their voicemail app, the blue one with the recorder icon... not the red one. It does everything I want, shows caller ID, or phone number, and click to play messages... easy delete. Perfect!
All,
Got an unlocked S21U, ported from VZW to T-Mo, installed the T-Mo voicemail app, but I keep getting a VM notification from the app AND the phone dialer itself. I don't see any way to mute it. Am I missing something? Can't see a way to fix it.
Any ideas what I am "missing" by not having T Mo firmware?
Thanks
Can you download visual voicemail? I used to have that problem on another phone but when i installed visual voicemail i was able fix the problem.

Sorry, yes, I did and it works, but now I get two notifications for each voicemail, one from the phone, and one from the TMo VVM app.

Are all of the voicemails deleted from the visual voicemail app? If so, i would call T-Mobile next .
Can't you simply disable phone app voice mail notifications?I use google voice for my visual voicemail and I believe I disabled notifications for voicemail notice dialer

Alas I do not have the option to silence the native phone dialer voicemail
Ever since I disabled the Samsung Phone app, visual voicemail hasn't worked at all for me. I have to dial my own phone number to access my voicemail the old-school way... It kinda stinks, but I just hated the Samsung phone app for its lack of calling over LTE whereas Google Phone still worked fine with calls over LTE (and had my blocked number list saved from when I had the Pixel prior to this phone).
I forward my calls if not answered to google voice which transcribes my VM so I have native visual voicemail instead of paying tmo for their version of vvm
