Is it me or does it not work right with vzw???? Doesn't give you the text of the voice mail....
Galaxy Note 3
It shows the text transcripts for me in the Google voice app.

Better Youmail. I do use Google Voice for my home voice mail but it last so many features and options that Better Youmail have. One frustrating part on GV is in Voicemail you cannot select multiple items to del...which at the least a very simple task but not there...

Does it give you an error because of vzw not supporting the set up????

It does when you initially set it up but just click to make Google voice your vm service and it still works. You do have to actually go on a computer to set up Google voice the first time to activate or turn it on. Sorry it has been a while. But I have used this on my N3 and thunderbolt and it worked well on both.

anybody uses a Visual Voicemail in canada with Android?
Is there an app which automatically calls the provider VM number and download the VM as mp3 or other audio file?
There's an app in the play store called nexus visual voicemail.
It doesn't trigger Verizon recognizing that you have a voice mail app so it will send you a text saying you have a VM

I've been using phone fusion, now called visual voicemail plus, for years and no complaints.
Does the job, and does it well.

What is the best Visual Voice Mail program? I havent used the stock Verizon app, but I think I want to give the concept a try.
Google voice!

Absolutely Google voice! You can still use your existing number if you just want to use the voicemail.
YouMail is also great and I used it before I had an invite to Google voice.

I didnt want to use GV. I think I remember somewhere that GV is using up minutes without making calls.
That ain't true, if u want visual voice mail GV is so the way to go.

I use Yap voicemail. It records all messages and transcribes them so you can read them. Its not always perfect, but enough that I can understand who is calling and what they want.
*It's IncREDible*
Google voice.... its free! And integrates
Does anyone know or can recommend an app the lets you send/receive SMS & MMS with the Thrive over Wifi?

I have been using Heywire for sms. It does not do mms but it is excellent for sms. The person you send the message to doesn't need to have Heywire installed.

you can try texttab. What it does is connect thru Bluetooth to your phone, and receives any SMS your phone gets and sends them to your thrive. Which you can reply and send on your thrive once your paired up.
TexTab worked awesome on mine! I absolutely love that program. Thanks for the head's up on that app. Definitely worth paying for it...
I have google voice and I have loved being able to text from any browser, including the thrive's browser. Especially if you're on sprint for your mobile servce, I would strongly recommend setting up google voice.

Sprints decision to work in collaboration with google voice makes it this way. I have Sprint and love them for this. A friend of mine is having trouble figuring out how to send google voice sms from his Thrive since he is on TMobile tho.
I use DeskSMS, I started using it over month ago and the fact it actually syncs with my contacts on my phone rather they have Google Voice or any other service makes it IMO the best app there for texting over wifi without having to jump between phone numbers. Especially for those of us that didnt want to lose our MMS capability by completely syncing with Google Voice.
I tried DeskSMS for a little while and it works ok. I stopped using it because Google Voice Canadian numbers are still not available. Hopefully I will use DeskSMS again once Canadian Google voice numbers are available.
Rogers Wireless use to offer wifi calling and text for consumer however this option is no longer compatible with my current plan with them so I had to improvise.
I`ve also tried textplus which work very well and you can get a Canadian number by
paying a monthly fee.

What is the best app out there for sending and receiving SMS text messages using your tablet?
sms sync tab text.. these are two that i have tired both work. Not used them in a while so might work better now with updates to them.. can do bluetooth or must be on same wifi network. .
Also if you are tethered you can use google voice or yahoo messenger to text to and from phone numbers. Groove ip as well and grove with google voice is awesome to make Phone calls from tablet.. There are so many out there you will have to try and find what works best for your liking and style.
I would recommend using SyncSMS
I would recommend Google voice and talkatone, as the latter requires a Google voice number. Talkatone incorporates both WiFi calling and SMS texting, while using only Google voice allows only texting over WiFi.
I've been trying out Tablet Talk lately and it seems to work well.

Same here... Tablet Talk is awesome!
I use mighty text. I am not sure about the other apps, but this app uses your own phone number, and there is an extension for the chrome browser for a computer.
SyncSMS
I think I like SyncSMS the best. It seems to be the best of the suggestions.
Google Voice + Groove IP apps so you can make/receive unlimited calls within North America along with unlimited SMS text for free over WIFI. Just pay the one time fee for the Groove IP app or use free equivalent.
I really like tablet talk

+1 to Google Voice. I use Google Voice's app for texts, and GrooveIP for calls.
I'm using mySMS it's free and works good. Give it a try. I have it set on my cell phone to run in background but not to notify or pop up. I then am able to use Handcent as my normal SMS application.

Do any of the texting apps mentioned here actually give you your own #, so that actual mobile users can text you? (I'm only aware of Google Voice doing this)
Using tablet talk and it's working great.

Using syncsms here, just make sure you have free space in your drop box and you're fine!

Yes the Mighty one does
I heard people are using this to get unlimited minutes over WiFi.
People also said that it works to call anybody.
Is that true? The app says the person your calling also needs the app.
yea, I tried it and same thing, other people have to have the app to use it. uninstalled

If I make a Google voice number, can I forward it to multiple phones with groove IP?

Vonage App
The people you are calling do not have to have the Vonage app. If it's in the US or Canada you can call them for free. When you first setup the app, it asks you to confirm your phone number so that it can spoof it when you place the calls. The people you call will have whatever number you confirm. I listed my Google Voice number so that way when I call out through the Vonage app, it shows the Google Voice number. I will note that it didn't send the SMS but it's not a big deal as you can click the "Request a Call" button to verify instead.
The free calls to phone numbers in US & Canada is apparently a limited time thing (sort of like the free Google Voice calls but those have so far been extended annually) so after that is when both users would have to have the app to make free calls. At the moment you get 3000 free minutes a month to use so it's worth trying out.
So Google voice isn't going to remain free?

Visual voicemail on android is a separate app like we've said...it's not like the iPhone. Holding 1 will still call voicemail as usual, even with the app installed.

Okay i understand. I thought it was all integrated like on the iphone. what a bummer. I'd like to see if there is a way to alter the action of that voicemail button to automatically open the visual voicemail app
