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

Thanks for sharing anyway, hope one day T-Mobile just stops with all the carrier restrictions. Honestly it's been a while. Ozozznozzy from a year ago was a lot more certain of the solution than I am today. Now all my devices work out of the box. All my devices are purchased outright (no financing), but for sure the OnePlus 6t I first tried this on was still locked. So a little of both. I'm specifically referring to the built in Android phone app having a built in visual voicemail, and the "T-Mobile Visual Voicemail" app in the play store. T-Mobile really just needs to resolve this. It's not even a money thing anymore, it's just a legacy bug from a relic subscription service. I think it just doesn't affect everyone so they haven't done much research into it. I still think that long term customers who have had voicemail boxes for a long time seem to be missing an update that patched this problem. T-Mobile may just need to force a mass update to all voicemail boxes to fix this issue. Hearing more now, it sounds like it definitely is on purpose by T-Mobile. At least for Samsung T-Mobile locked phones.My Samsung Galaxy phone was bought from T-Mobile and thedefaultphone app has no built-in visual voicemail. I tried the Google Phone dialer app but the voicemail tab never shows up and trying to activate it fails. I found out Samsung has a Visual Voicemail app separately that comes with their phones but it's also no where to be found. Also it's been blocked from both the Google Play Store and Galaxy Store. When I try to open the link to install the app from a browser I get a note that says 'content blocked by my provider'.I can't help but think this isall done on purpose by T-Mobile to force users to use their own Visual Voicemail app and not due to some voicemail update I don't have.Honestly I wouldn't even mind if their T-Mobile's visual voicemail app worked great, but it really does not. I'll try again when my phone is unlocked, but doubt anything will work as long as I have a T-Mobile SIM with a Samsung phone.8Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Visual Voicemail using Default Android 10 App (NOT T-Mobile App)?

I have completely different phones now on multiple lines (OnePlus 9 and Galaxy S22+) and Android VVM worked out of the box. I really think the most important part is asking T-Mobile to completely reset your voicemail box. Everything else is redundant. T-Mobile swears that they did not block Android voicemail, and Google swears that Android voicemail should work with T-Mobile. Using that information, I figured that T-Mobile just hasn't pushed the updated commands to old voicemail boxes. Having them do a complete factory reset on your voicemail forces the system to update. This is me making assumptions from a distance, having no experience working for T-Mobile IT. But it worked for me and people I know, so I must be on to something. I couldn't get this to work with my Samsung Galaxy even after having a customer service rep reset my voicemail. Just curious are all the phones it worked on for you unlocked?
