Visual Voicemail and Google Voice

Hi,

I'm new so please forgive me if this is a stupid question. I just got the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and noticed that it uses the old school voicemail setup where you have to listen to all of your messages to get to the most recent one. I'd like to use visual voicemail which is what I assume was on my HTC Evo (where all of my voicemails are listed and I could just scroll through the list and click play on whichever one I needed). I tried using Google Voice but I think I have to use a different number or something like that and I don't want to do that. Plus, it uses its own greeting that I now can't get rid of. So, my questions are:

1) What is the best visual voicemail app for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus?
2) How do I get rid of the Google Voice voicemail greeting and return to my regular Sprint greeting?
3) Can I use one of the apps in question 1 and still use the Sprint voicemail greeting?

Thank you!

Update: And now my phone isn't receiving voicemails at all. Someone please help.
 
Getting back to Sprint Voicemail:
go to your dialingpad. Settings > Voicemail > Service > My Carrier

Google Voice:
You can port your current number to Google Voice. Or you can use google voice just for voicemail on your phone. I use my phone's phone number to make calls, etc. And simply use google voice for voicemail. google voice will text me a transcipt and email me an mp3 of the voicemail.etc

As far as best visual voicemail is concerned, I recommend you read up on google voice and see what it can do for you, as I think it is best.
