Visual Voicemail

Purpleclad said:
Any idea if the note has visual voicemail on it like the Skyrocket does? Thanks in advance.

Considering visual voicemail is software thing, I would say yes. I had a Blackberry Bold from 2 years ago that had an option for visual voicemail. The Note is going to be released with Android 2.3.6 I believe, so yes it most definitely should have it.

It is posted on xda that to access it you have to go to the voicemail settings and change it from my carrier to visual

They also have the apk posted there

In the settings for voicemail the only choice is my carrier there is no visual to chose from. :(
 
I can't believe that Samsung and ATT would step back in time - NO VISUAL VOICEMAIL? You have to be kidding! IPhone killer with no Vis Voice... Sim and SD removed and back into the Sky Rocket. Screen not as big, no pen, but a much better device. Who's really running R&D?
 
That last link SHOULD work, but it wont authenticate on mine. I'm going to Call AT&T tomorrow and make sure visual voicemail option is tied to my number.

Worked for me. Saw the link on the internet last night and didn't get a chance to do it until today, worked fine for me. I had the Skyrocket right before this, so maybe that helped since it has Visual Voicemail. Hope it works for everyone else!!!
 
Worked for me, I did use ES File Explorer (free in the Android Market) to download and install it. Read in another forum that the stock file managing would not let it install.

Got it downloaded, unzipped and installed, was as easy as pie.

Hi guys, first post. This is my first Adroid device so I'm new to this OS.
iOS user for the last 4 years. I'm looking for some guidance (help). I really want visual voicemail to work on my note. Would some one be kind enought to give me instructions on where to start.
Do I download the link with my pc or the Galaxy note? Than how do I install it?

If some one could help, I will be forever grateful.
Thanks in advance.

Use YouMail if you want visual voicemail. I used it on my Dell Streak and now my Galaxy Note. Never have had a problem with it.

Yep this worked for me also. Thanks for the info guys.

Here's my noob question of the day. How do the visual voicemail work with the Skyrocket? Are the visual voicemails within the phone app itselft similar to the iPhone? Does anyone know if this is how Andriod 4 (ICS) functions? Just curious on if some of you feel that VVM will ever be incorporated within the phone app on the Note in the forseeable future (when ICS arrives). :)

The AT&T Messages App worked fine for me. Combines Texts and Voicemail in one cloud based app. Not perfect but it works.

Ok, I just did all this and it works great as long as you didnt use AT&T Messages program first (if you did they will need to remove your VM and or data pack and re-add). So here are the steps.
1. Download and install ES File Explorer if you dont already have it.
2. Download the file they posted for the Visual Voicemail and install it under the downloads with your ES File Explorer. It should work right away unless as I said that you started using the AT&T Messages app. They will have to remove that because it uses the old school voicemail to work. Good Luck!
 
Richcop, you are the man. Many many thanks, works like a charm. Not quite like what I have on the iPhone, but close enough!

Thanks again.
Will
 
What you can also do that worked for me is call ATT and tell them you want the VVM on your account, and they set it up and it works!!!:eek:

Richcop,

This worked perfectly. Thank you very much. I did have to call AT&T and have them remove my vm and data and add it back on. The AT&T rep actually thanked me for letting him know this worked. LoL. I wonder if there is a way to make it access the Visual VM through the little tape recorder Icon on the dial pad like my wifes sky rocket. The tech did not know. Still awesome to get a drop down for new vm and click on it and it takes you straight there for the msg. Thanks again!!:)
 
1- download a file explorer (es file explorer, i use bluetooth file transfer) from play store.

2- download apk file from xda

3- extract and install file with app downloaded from market (ensure u have sideload enabled)

4- log onto your at&t wireless account access the add/ remove features screen there you will see 2 options one will say:
3gb 4g lte no vvm, the other will not mention vvm. move selection to the one that does not mention vvm. Cost will be the same but has the proper account provisions. Finish the process, when u receive an email that u have changed your account proceed to next step.

5- open vvm app previously installed, follow on screen prompts.

6- enjoy vvm

Ps- i did it this way because at&t phone rep was useless and said it was impossible to have vvm on galaxy note.

I use Google Voice on my Inspire. We can't use it on the Note???

Sure you can. I use it all the time since it is my business line. An interesting point about GVoice on the Note is that you can toggle it on and off with a widget. Then, when you use the stock dial pad or text messaging it will route it through Gvoice if you toggled it on or through your stock software if you toggle it off. I like this feature but it took some getting used to.
