voicemail?

[nismospec]

so are we stuck with Google Voice as our only option for voicemail?
I swear I had voicemail before, but my phone froze and I had to do a factory reset, now I can't find voicemail on my phone at all.

when I call my phone it just rings, rings, rings, then says "the number you tried to call is not available"

Hold down 1 on the dialer?

just goes to a busy signal....

go to menu call and set your provider information, I think

go to menu call and set your provider information, I think

Settings->Call Settings and make sure that Voicemail service is set to 'My Carrier' and that under Voicemail settings, the number is set to your own number.

looked at the above suggestions, but everything was set exactly as you all have suggested already.
I went ahead and just re-clicked / re-entered all the information, but still just a busy signal when I call my number.

any other thoughts?

seems I'm not alone out there. there are others with the same issue as me.
i'm going to take another shot at it, if not call Sprint tech...

Sprint Community: No voicemail after disabling Google...

 

[Skunkape60]

I setup google voice and it works fine as an answering machine. My problem is whenever I receive a text it also goes to google voice and I have to delete my messages from 2 places and keep getting 2 notifications for each text. I was able to go into the google voice settings from my computer and disable the text but that is worse as the phone will no longer receive ANY text messages. Does anyone know of a way too stop the text messages from going to google voice but still come to my phone?

On your computer Google Voice should have "Receive text messages on this phone" Checked and "Notify me of new voicemails via text" un-checked

On your phone
Receive text messages should be "Also via the messaging app"
Text notifications Checked (but grayed out)
Voice mail notifications Checked

so just an update if anyone else ever runs into the original problem on this post, all you need to do is just get in touch with sprint help and they can fix something (on their end) and problem solved.

I now have my basic voicemail back.
