Re: Visual Voicemail using Default Android 10 App (NOT T-Mobile App)?

I got to the point where there was a welcome message on TMO-VVM inbox, then I uninstalled the app. My opinion here that TMO is denying activation to non-tmobile IMEIs with onlyApple and Pixel Phones are exempted.13Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Visual Voicemail using Default Android 10 App (NOT T-Mobile App)?

If the T-Mobile account is older than a couple years, the voicemail box (on T-Mobile's end) needs an update. In order to do this, the user needs to request that a T-Mobile rep reset their voicemail account. (completely reset back to new) The voicemail box then needs to be authorized for visual voicemail, which is done through the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app. The user should not accept any of the extra services, as this will designate the Visual Voicemail app as the only usable external app for the T-Mobile voicemail service. Then the user must delete the T-Mobile visual voicemail app from their phone. This app blocks the voicemail user settings on android devices and cannot remain installed if the user wants to use stock or built-in voicemail services. The user can then restart their device and activate visual voicemail in the stock Google phone app. I have tested this on a few different android devices, including a Oneplus 9, Oneplus 6t, and a Samsung Galaxy A50. So far, it works 100% of the time. This tells me that it is likely a T-Mobile software issue, but I'm mostly just glad that there seems to be a common solution. Please like my reply if this solution worked for you. If you are not willing to do all these steps.. then unless you have a Nexus device or an IPhone, get comfy with the T-Mobile visual voicemail app. A lot of people have spent a lot of time looking for a solution. Hi, this didn't work for me. I called TMobile, they deleted my voicemail and created it again. Once that was done I used the TMO VVM app to activate the voicemail again. Uninstalled TMO VVM, restarted, the phone and proceeded to activate VVM in the native dialer. Result, same as before "Can't activate Visual Voicemail". This was executed on my OnePlus 8 pro.8Visto0likes0Comentarios
