Unlocked Note 8 or AT&T carrier one from AT&T?

[Ken in CA]

Thanks! Just downloaded it by searching for visual voicemail and it works great!

Where was this downloaded from?

The lack of premium features from AT&T on unlocked devices is a big reason why I switched to T-Mobile. To me, it's criminal what AT&T can get away with.
I've got a Note 8 unlocked coming and can't wait to get all those premium features from T-Mobile.

I agree. I'm using the AT&T VM app on a Sony XA1 Ultra and it works better than ever. Glad to see AT&T is still updating the app.

The Play store. I'll see if I can get a link.

That's the app I use.

Yes, Visual Voicemail is the killer app that you just don't get. I've tried installing it on my phone, but it either won't work (won't even start downloading), or it says the phone isn't compatible with it. Not good.

Hmmm, quick reply to my reply above. OK, so I just plugged my SIM card from my S8+ into my Note 8 -- do I need to "activate" the thing with AT&T, and might that be what I need to do in order to get the visual voicemail app to install? I never thought about that....

I'm not sure, but I did online chat to have my note 8 registered and provisioned in AT&T system. Once I did that I got a few pop ups for their call blocking and something else and had no problem downloading the app. I did not try downloading the app before that so I don't know if it'll make a difference.

No bloatware was a big reason why I chose the Unlocked version

My initial plan was to buy unlocked but ended up ordering ATT version. Honestly, besides few apps (they can be disabled), I don't see bloatware being an issue.

In a different thread, someone helped me by pointing to an apk file with which I installed the visual voicemail app. Works fine, and I'm good to go. I'm still not sure whether I should bother with "activating" the phone with AT&T....
