Op, are you on T-Mobile? If so, I didn't think Google voice voicemail works be cause they don't allow call forwarding. I could be wrong but that might be the issue.
EDIT: I meant T-Mobile pre-paid, not postpaid

Are you on prepaid? It won't work with T mobile pre paid plans at least.
Also, make sure you aren't on WIFI, for some reason it wouldn't work on wifi(but this was with the S3 and wifi calling) but you can try.
Also, try doing it from the voice website, it'll give you a code to input and that may work.
Mine works fine and I am on T-Mobile. Go to your phone, then hit settings. Then go to Voicemail and make sure the service is set to Google Voice.

did you set up the app on your phone? (install, configure, go to phone -> settings -> voicemail and check Google Voice) and then go to voice.google.com on your PC, settings, Phones tab, Activate voicemail -> get the MMI code from there?
mine has worked fine on AT&T for years doing the above steps.
EDIT: see screenshot... where mine says "deactivate voicemail", are you clicking "Activate Voicemail" to get your MMI code? that's where it needs to come from... (just trying to trouble-shoot for ya).

hmm... not sure what to tell you. in voice.google.com , settings, click deactivate voicemail... then uninstall the app off your phone, then start over...
install app, setup, configure
then click "reactivate voicemail" at voice.google.com...
if that still doesn't work, I'm not sure how to help.
Google Voice and T-Mobile
This is what I did to work on T-Mobile.
Google voice will work for text, making calls, and catching voicemails for missed calls. However, if you ignore the call, it will go to your T-mobile voicemail.
What I did was call T-mobile and told them to deactivate my vm (it's a common request they get)
Then I created a contact in my phone book and I entered my tmobile (not gv number) and I set the option to sen to VM whenever called
Then I wen into the voicemail options and changed the number of the VM (put this number in the contacts as well as you might want to reference it later) from the t-mobile number to the google voice number
After than, google voice works like normal. No need to set up conditional call forwarding.

So randomly this week I have been getting some VM that comes in from GV and others still come in from sprint.
This is my work phone and the only GVmails have come from people calling from my corporate office, and the others from my area stores.
I didn't set this up and actually like the GVmail as i can just read the email that it sends.
Any help on how to fully setup so all VM come in using google voice? I logged in to my GV account but see not settings to change in there.
thanks
try reinstalling google voice and setting it up to integrate with sprint.... which brings a question how do you remove the annoying "press 1 to answer"?
that's the thing though I don't have GV on my phone installed at all and only use GV for a home number and have never setup GV with my work cell #.
Side note:From what I can remember each time I got mail from GV my phone never rang but got the VM later from GV.

You have to go to Google/voice on your computer and go into settings. I just did that cuz I hated the press 1 to answer also.

if you don't have you GVmail setup and someone calls your GV number, they will hear it ring a few times, then some silence..
If your settings are default (to screen calls or press 1 to accept the call or something dumb) THEN it adds to the confusion.
I would set up your GVmail w/ a greeting that's appropriate, get your call screening options setup the way you like it (I do not screen unless it's a private caller) Then get your text messaging options setup.
Also they have some cool functionality for voicemail to text or Vmail to email transcription too. It's funny sometimes.. They come up with some weird stuff hahahahaha..
Hope this helps
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

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

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.
I would like to use Google Voice's voicemail instead of tmobile's since my tmo number is a throw away and I've never given it out. I have tried changing the forwarding numbers, but it won't let me change anything. I get an error saying the network won't let me. I have also tried changing my voicemail number (the one that is dialed when you long press #1 for vm speeddial) but I get a similar message saying the netowrk won't allow it.
I have discovered this xposed module http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106490 seems to be on the right track, since it does edit the number registered to the sim card, but it doesn't allow you to edit the voicemail number registered to the sim card.
Does anyone know of a way to do this? The only partial solution I've found is by adding my Google Voice number to my sim card so I can dial 1# and get through, but I would like Google Voice to replace tmobile's voicemail altogether. This still does not forward callers to Google Voice's voicemail unless I set my phone to airplane mode.
Are you using a pay as you go plan? If so, those don't support call forwarding (which is used for Google voicemail). If you are, you can call up T-Mobile and ask them to disable your voicemail. That should allow Google voice to pick up you're voicemail after so many rings.

Yeah, I am...so I guess that's the issue. If I switch to a monthly 4G plan would that also allow call forwarding?

Yes. I'm on the monthly plan and it allows call forwarding. But, like I said, you could achieve a similar effect by having TMO disable your voicemail all together, and google voice will pick up your voicemail after so many rings.

Thanks very much, I'll give that a shot! This has been driving me crazy since I switched to Tmo in February, and I've just dealt with it until now.

I'm on TMoUS with the N4 and use G Voice for my voicemail. It does work fine and I can just use the in-phone voicemail setup to switch my VM carrier. I do have a post-paid monthly 4g plan though. It sounds like you already have G Voice set to forward your number to the TMo number so that's fine.
I don't think that disabling the TMo voicemail will work by itself because I don't think it will fall back to the previous number. It would probably just ring or just end the call. You could also just use G Voice for your dialer too and run everything over data.

Google Voice automatically sends to voicemail after 25 seconds. I learned this when I was using VoIP on the $30 pre-paid plan. Disabling TMO voicemail is necessary as it picks up before 25 seconds.

I would, but I don't always have a reliable mobile data signal, so I get a lot of missed/dropped calls. I'd love to be able to just drop tmo voice service entirely, though, and get 100% free voice calls!
I called Tmo and had my voicemail disabled the other day, and I'm still not able to set gv as the primary voicemail or set a forwarding number. I still get the 'contact your carrier' message. when I try to set gv voicemail, and I get a network/sim error when I try to change the forwarding numbers. I got a new sim recently, but I can rule that out because it's the same error with both sim cards in, as well as with the sim removed.
After installing Google voice, did you go into the phone, click setup from there and then select voicemail? Then change carrier to Google voice and select setup. I just use the app/widget instead of trying to dial from the phone to check for voicemail.
I have no idea about forwarding calls though.
If it doesn't go through, maybe try and un install them re install GV

If you're on prepaid, you'll never be able to set up forwarding. However, Google voicemail should still work properly if you have disabled your T-mo voicemail and configured the gvoice app. It will just take a long time before it picks up.
I have always used Google Voice as my default voice mail app. After upgrading to VoLTE (Kitkat 4.4.4), whenever someone calls me and I do not answer, it just says that my voice mail box is not set up. Anyone else having this problem?

I uninstalled and reinstalled, ran through setup and still nothing. I will try again.
I guess I don't understand the allure of VoLTE. In reading about it @ VZW site, it bills the same as regular calls so it's not like it can save on our minutes. Voice sounds just fine over standard calls IMO.
I dont know what I am doing wrong. I reset my Google Voice by uninstalling it and reinstalling, setting it up, then making sure hangouts voicemail is enabled. Anyone have any other thoughts?
*71 your Google voice number to forward it.
Thanks! Just came back here to own my shame as I forgot I had to do the call forwarding.
All better now
To those that have forwarding to GV working, did you also enable the Hangouts integration?
I cant get forwarding to work. When I call my VZW number, it rings, pauses like its trying to forward, the the VZW phone starts ringing again. It never goes to GV, or Hangouts. If I call my GV number directly, it works fine, even from my VZW number.
Any thoughts, suggestions, or assistance appreciated.

I had to go to Google voice on the web, goto Settings, select Edit under your phone number, then select Activate under Forwarding Options. It'll provide a *71 number for you to key in on your phone. This will be a different number than your voicemail number.
It worked for me after these steps.

Tried that yesterday several times on my own and with VZW "support." They seem to think it may be a network backend issue, and have sent it up the food chain...

I have an old plan. 1500 Min, unlimited text and data. For me, it isn't about saving minutes, it is about the quality of the call. My wife and most of my family has GS5, the others just got iPhone 6 so most of my calls VoLTE and I love it.
Slightly off topic, but has anyone gotten the calling feature within the new hangouts integration to work over wifi? I need this at work because when I have to go out on the floor there is no service, but there is wifi.

Did anyone get this figured out? I have never had a problem with google voice not working up until I downloaded the NI2 update to get voLTE. Now when I get a call it says the mail box hasn't been set up yet. I did all of the forwarding options (even shows forwarded on the myverizon page) and it still isn't forwarding to my google voice.
I don't get it. Anyone have any clues? I've already tried everything listed in this thread.

After making sure my phone was still connected via Google Voice online, these steps from Google (click on "If you're a Verizon Wireless user click here") are what got it working for me (along with making sure Google Voice was selected for voice mail in my phone's settings - Phone -> Menu -> Settings -> Call -> Voice Mail). I dialed all three one right after the other:
If you are having trouble configuring Google Voice as your voicemail service on Verizon you can make the switch manually by dialing these three activation codes:
*71[Your Google Voice number]
*90[Your Google Voice number]
*92[Your Google Voice number]

I've tried this and it has not solved my problem.
Working with Verizon Wireless, and they claim there is a problem during the forwarding. I'm likely oversimplifying, but it seems that VZW sends the call to AT&T Landline, who then sends it to Google's landline operator (I forget who they said this was), then it goes to Voice. For my number, there is a problem at the transition from AT&T Landline to Google's operator. So basically, it is a network issue that is occurring on a disinterested carriers network, and so nothing is happening fast.
On a side note, I tried to get creative since others still have working VZW to Voice forwarding, and I got a new number, and paid to keep the old number, too, in the hopes that a new number would work... No joy, I'm out $30 and now have a second number that behaves the same way as the first.

Odd that it works for some and not for others.
It would be great if Verizon would get things straightened out, but they've never cared about Google Voice and likely never will (heck, Google doesn't seem to care too much about it these days).

It would be great if Verizon would get things straightened out, but they've never cared about Google Voice and likely never will (heck, Google doesn't seem to care too much about it these days).

Tried all those options. I don't see how its working for anyone that has voLTE enabled. As soon as I disable it fowarding works fine.
I was able to successfully got Google voice back after enabling HD voice, by setting up Forwarding not on the phone, but online: https://wbillpay.verizonwireless.com/vzw/secure/services/CallForward.action

Odd that that works for you. I had tried that, and setting it up through the MyVerizon app, and by the VZW tech setting it, all with the same broken results.
I'm using my 6T on AT&T. On my previous phone (an HTC One m7 that I used for 5 years), I used a MMI code to increase the time before unanswered calls go to voicemail. The code includes the phone number that the calls are forwarded to. I tried to get that number by using the code *#61# but it returned "Not Forwarded" on all call types. I dug into Call Settings>Call Forwarding and all the settings are set to "Off". If I go into any of the settings it prompts to enter a forwarding number. Is it just me or does everybody else's phone not show this info?
When I do get a call that goes unanswered, it is forwarded to voicemail and I'm notified and am able to retrieve it, either by calling my voicemail box or using the visual voicemail app. So voicemail is working normally. I just find it odd that I'm not able to get the forwarding number information. Is this because the phone is not AT&T branded/certified?
Do these MMI code things still work like they used to? Or have things changed & I'm not able to modify this setting any longer?
I am having the same issue. When trying the codes or going into settings I get the same results error. Never had this issue with my other phones. Did u add the IMEI to att? Just wondering cause I didn't. Using the imei of my galaxy s6.

Yes. I added the IMEI from the 6T when I first got it.

It works fine on my device, I'm unlocked and rooted, but should have no bearing. I have int McLaren version though
