Visual Voicemail

[razor237]

So the real question for me is will the Verizon version have visual voicemail available to it

There was a screen shot on Reddit of the native Android visual voicemail working with Verizon.

Was the handset SIM free or a Verizon one?

It was the non-Verizon version.

Just out of curiosity, is there a reason you would choose to use Verizon Visual Voicemail over Google Voice Lite (that works with your carrier's phone# - without requiring you to use your GV#)?

I'm curious if it will work with Google Voice Lite without the Google Voice App. Having to use the app does get irritating when it stops running in background and causes delayed notification if you don't have Text or Email notification active. Also it does seem the app doesn't get updated much.

I have missed important messages in the past and now I check the Google Voice app at least once a day to make sure it had not stopped.

I haven't used the GV app on my phone in months (or over a year now) - had to check to see if it was still there To be honest, I don't think it is needed after the initial set up.
I get my notifications via an Email from GV to my mailbox, with the transcriptions and link to message - I also get a text message sent to my GV#, which results in a SMS on hangouts app.

Thanks for the reply but like I said before if you have Text and EMail notification turn off you just get a voicemail notification from native app and could use native app to check. But if the Google Voice App stops you don't get the Notification because messages do not sync with the native app.

Text and Email notification (icon) if you have a lot notification do not standout as much as the voicemail notification (icon). Would be much easier if Google would include Google Voice Lite in the native app without having the separate app for syncing.

Transcription has never worked well for me because everyone beside Robo spam that leave me a message have Spanish accents. (Funny to read and trying to guess what they really said) Google Voice Lite app has the transcription but would be better in native app.

Understood. I don't use the native app for voicemail notification, so I never ran into this issue. I just rely on the hangouts notification. Thanks for the clarification

Has there been any word from reviewers about Visual VM on Verizon yet?

 

[razor237]

I haven't seen anything on it yet

In the native phone app the voicemail tab works with Verizon's visual voicemail. I just finished setting up my phone and it works.

I can confirm that it is working yay , happy to have this feature working through the phone app, i never like using the Google voice way to get it working

Does anyone know if it works with AT&T? My vm number is being forwarded so I can use Google Voice or I would try it myself. I would like to not have to use Google Voice.
