How can I set the voicemailnumber in a way it will be used by the Speeddial '1' key.
I allready tried via tools/options/services/Voice Mail and SMS
And that did not work.
Any help greatly appreciated
Found it.
using a Registry Editor change the value of key
HKEY_Current_User/Software/Microsoft/Vmail/Phonenumber1 to the numer to be dialed
I have no idea what the key .../Phonenumber2 is for . . .
For SMS center?
mmm, maybe.
But (different from the voicemail number) the sms-center number is defined on my SIM.
Besides that I was able to update the sms-center number via the phone/tools/options/services menu.
Go into Phone setting, services tab, voice mail & SMS and then tap get... it will read your network definitions.
Then in the voice mail box, type the number you dial for your voice mail and OK.
Excellent tip Amir77a - thanks.

Nice tip Amir.
That tip i Figured out myself.
Unfortunately it does not always work.
Maybe its my SIM or something else, but I cant set the number via the menu's ("unable to update setting to network"...)
So in my case the registry trick did it.
Probably it depends on your SIM.
Good you solve it anyway.

this is normal as some operators set one number for the voice mail box itself which missed calls should be routed to, and other number for retrieving the the voice mail.

From what I understand the way OneDialer works is that you enter your gmail account info into the app, and it passes that on to the author's personal server for authentication to google. Now I noticed he's actually CHARGING for this app. Dude... what?!
I get free incoming calls so I really liked the potential of this application. I was a bit peeved when I saw it went to no longer being freeware. So I looked around and did NOT have to look very hard.
Open PIE and go to http://voice.google.com
Booyah! Just type in the number you want to call in the QUICK CALL box and press CALL. It's THAT *SIMPLE*!! Plus you don't have to worry about your authentication information being passed along to a potentially unsecured third party's server where who knows if they are harvesting your account info or not!?
What? You like being able to search your contacts from OneDialer? No problemo! Just sync your phone's contacts with your google account. Viola!!!
http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299
Now you can use your google voice account right from your own phone, for FREE and without sending your auth info to someone else's server.
thanks, didn't know there is a mobile voice website. Exactly what I was looking for
you just missed the point of the dialers, they are there to bypass that step and allow much faster calling natively. Its much easier to add a phone number to each contact in this format gvnumberp2pcontactnumber#.
And as far as texts go, just go to settings on GV and have it send them to your email, and then use google sync to have them pushed to your phone.

Not if I have to add them manually. I have over 400 contacts.
Additionally doing it the way I mentioned above makes the call an INCOMING call, thus it's FREE for me since I get free incoming calls on USCC.
So you're little "dialers" option won't work for me.
so just use idialer and icontact and have it use google callback
Being an alltel customer still in verizon's eyes means no access to verizon services such as Vcast tv, visual voicemail, vz navi, etc........who really cares. But I do need the visual voicemail. And fusionplus works great, tack 3.99/mo and you have voice-to-text. Very nice service.
Explain a little more about PhoneFusion. I have verizon visual voicemail and it seems ok but I was wondering how PhoneFusion works since you have to forward you number to their number then you getting charged minutes everytime you get a voicemail.
It does run on your normal minutes when you call in to check your voicemails. However, they are visible and you download them via data connection and then play in windows media player as mp3's so the there really is no need to use your voice minutes. You can manually download or set them to auto download. And of course the service is free. More info at http://www.fusionvoicemailplus.com/
how did you get it to forward it? when i did i called the *72 it makes it go straight to voicemail everytime, it doesnt ring on my end.

You first need to call verizon and have them set your conditional call forwarding number to 813-200-0200. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL YOUR MESSAGES DELETED BEFORE YOU CHANGE FROM VERIZON VOICEMAIL TO FUSION PLUS (or else you will not be able to get rid of the new voicemail notifications and it will drive you crazy like it did me). When you call verizon, speak only with tech support as customer service will say its not possible. After you do this go in to phone settings and on the first tab "phone" (start->settings->all settings->personal->phone) where it says "voicemail" change the number to 813-200-0200. This should automatically set your 1st speed dial to your new voicemail box. Good to go.

Here's a quote from the email they sent me:
To activate conditional call forwarding: Enter *7118132000200 as if it is a phone number that you are dialing and press "SEND".
To deactivate conditional call forwarding: Enter *73 as if it is a phone number that you are dialing and press "SEND".
*72 is Call Forwarding:

*71 is No Answer/Busy Transfer:

I tried this method three times and was unsuccessful until I called tech support and had them do it for me. Did this work for you?
how do you get 'sync' to work? I'm either putting in the wrong number/password combination or something else. New email comes in fine.

See post number 5.
Sweeny Russ, it has been about a week or so since you have had phonefusion running, how do you like it, Verizon's visual voicemail is handy but the app takes to long to load and I don't know if it is 2.99/month handy. Reading your posts it seems like it is a pain in the A$$ to setup if you have to call tech support. I wonder why doing the *71 + the number would not work?
Thanks

Thanks, but that didn't help me. I did figure it out though. When you add an account, use the Fusion Voicemail Login number they email you and the password they give you. Then sync will work. I had changed my password via their website and it wasn't working in the phone software. Must have needed a little more time to update.
Overall, it works good. I like it better than the Visual Voice Mail and I think the quality is better and its free. I didn't have to call VZW to get my cell to forward. It was very easy and straight forward.
However, I need to find away to be able to use the handset speaker to play the voicemails instead of using the speaker phone. It's getting a little annoying. I think the default is Microsoft media player. I can't find away for it to switch between handset and speaker. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it.
icon, did you do *71 + number or * 72 + number?

Thank for the reply. If I would of only read. My fault. I got it.
Morning all,
I am trying to get FusionPlus to sync when I hit the sync option. I have put my VZW phone number in there, along with my VZW vm password. Should I do the opposite and put the FusionPlus number and password?
Steve
I just entered my verizon number and the password. I clicked sync, I did not get any errors but it does not seem to have done anything.

That's what I was talking about above...
For syncing, put the Fusion Voicemail Login number they email you and the password they give you.
Hope that helps. I think they could have given a little more direction on that. I wasn't sure what number to put either.
I used my verizon phone number and the password phonefusion sent me.
I think fusion is perfect. I also found that it does not have to be open to notify you of new voicemails. It is very finger friendly and If you have bluetooth toggle you can list to your voicemail via bluetooth headset, the way I do it anyway, which is nice if you have messages you don't want anyone to be able to hear because it routes through the speaker. And if you delete a message but then need it later they save it for 14 days, unless your free mailbox is full. Also I can't see it using any visible resources, its footprint is very small compared to verizon visual voicemail.
Hi, I have noticed that when someone leaves me a voicemail I get a notification that ###-#### left a message in your voicemail. After few minutes it goes away
Is there a way too keep track of it, like a Voicemail Log? I know about Google voice, but right now its only by invitation
I have already searched for an app like that in market place but no luck.
EDIT: Just learned that I have visual mail in my plan from rogers and also learned that I DO NOT see the number ppl are leaving message from, its just my voicemail number. And found one cool thing, IF YOU ARE TIRED OF TYPING YOUR PASSWORD EVERYTIME YOU CALL YOUR VOICEMAIL. Goto call setting> Voicemail> In the number box after your voicemail # put ,xxxx (xxx is your password for voicemail).
If you do this correctly you dont need to type in your password again and again.
Well, when I go through the config setup for Google Voice, the com.android.phone quits.
So, I went into phone, and selected Call settings, then Voice Mail Service, and select Google. It Asks 'Change to new provider?'. After a few seconds, it responses with 'Forwarding Voice Number failed'.
I also tried entering my Google Voice number in Voice Mail Settings for My Carrier, but all that does is provide a number to call for voice mail. Of course, that did seem to forward to my Google Voice Mail number. At this point I'm not sure if there are any implications of setting it up this way.

I had the same experience. Google Voice works but the voicemail change didn't. So I opened the phone app and pressed the menu key and went to call settings. Then I went to voicemail carrier and Google Voice was an option. I selected the option and it asked if I wanted to change the provider and after I clicked yes it worked. So it just looks like the wizard failed for me but doing it manually seemed to work fine.

That didnt work for me, and in fact, the only thing that worked for me when i had the LG Nitro HD and the HTC One X, and now the GS3, the only thing that works is to open the phone app, hit the Menu > Call Settings > Call Forwarding > Voice call.
Keep Always Forward set to disabled, and set everything else to the google voice number, including the +1.. So if your google voice number is (123)456-7890, then each of the 3 lines would all say +11234567890

I spoke too soon. After I rebooted a few mins ago it looks like it went back to My Carrier and now I am getting the same problem you are.
I will try the dial method neverends suggested and see if that works....and it did work! Thanks

Haven't tried it yet, but I do expect that to work. I used that type of coding (as outlined in this Wiki page) in a Tasker script to forward my phone home automatically when hooked to my home WiFi.
I can't find what the *11* is for at the end of it. Do you know?

I typed in that code. Goto a positive mesage back.
So then I went into settings and tried to set up the voice mail again, and it is stil failing.
However, Upon checking the Voice Mail setings for Cal Forwarding, all thre of the phone numbers are set to my GV number.
That should be all... You don't need to go through gvoice setup again if you used the code
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
I finally got GV to be my voicemail again.
From the phone app, menu button>Call settings.
Scroll down and select Call forwarding.
Select Voice call.
Select Always forward.
Enter GV number, and then Enable.
Turn off: Select Disable.
Select Update.
Now the forward when busy, unanswered and unreachable will be turned on and the "always forward" will be off.
Then you just have to go back to Call Settings and change the voicemail number to your GV number. Voicemail>Voicemail Settings.
It will still say My Carrier in voicemail service and such, but it functions properly.
I posted this in the Google Voice thread in the General section, but I'll put it here too. This works, same as the others, but this actually gets the system to change everything to say Google Voice is handling your voicemail:
Actually, I found a workaround I had to use with the Infuse...
Yes, you have to do the call forwarding code again: *004*[Google Voice Number]#
Then in your dialer settings, select Google Voice as your voicemail service. It will give you an option box popup which asks you to hit cancel or OK. Just hit the home button to leave the menu. When you go back in, Google Voice is selected, your Google Voice # is your voicemail number, and everything is set up properly.

I had to go to google.com/voice and sign my compadre up for a new number, then it started working properly after following the number forwarding.
Thanks!
From another similar thread, the solution is as above mentioned with the numbers; basically log into google voice from your computer -- go to settings and then the part where it lists your mobile numbers added to your account. Click deactivate voicemail -- it'll give you a code to punch into your dialer on your phone. Then click activate -- and it will give you a code to punch in to change the call forwarding settings.
