T-Mobile Voicemail Notifications

---

I don't seem to get any sort of notification for voicemails except from visual voicemail, which doesn't work unless I'm data or wi-fi connected.
Is there any way of fixing this?

Running ICBINB.

Any idea why this might be happening and how to fix it?

uninstall visual voicemail

Nvm a bloke on the T-Mobile forums was kind enough to answer this question for me.
Seems like you just have to clear the data and cache from the visual voicemail app and you'll start getting normal notifications without data or wifi again. Oddly though if you uninstall the visual voicemail app you won't get any notifications at all.

ahhh thk you man. I was punching myself as i couldn't figure out why i wasn't getting any notifications of voicemails. I flashed a rom that didn't have the visual voicemail installed. Installing it now, and hopefully it fixes this issue!

I know this is old but I can confirm that not having Visual Voicemail was the culprit in my case of the voicemail alert not showing up on my phone. I have titanium backup installed and decided I'd uninstall non-useful/used apps that came stock with the phone. Of course, I didn't realize at the time this was the reason why my voicemail icon no longer appeared and I had 15 voicemails waiting for me :eek:. Anyway, good catch Yangorang.

Gmail, hit menu > more > settings > your account name > labels to notify > setup each label you want to change the notification for.

If you're using t-mobile voicemail you cannot change the sound. I dunno if you can if you're using visual voicemail.

I use Google Voice for voicemail, and that app, I can change the notification sound for.
