Re: Native Visual Voicemail not working on my brand new Unlocked Pixel 6a phone

I have reset everything I can think of short of complete phone erase with a new new esim. But others have tried that and it still didn’t help. Its like the phone now doesn’t attempt or can’t activate VVM anymore. Used to before the problem when you rebooted your phone you would see a brief voicemail indicator for a few seconds while VVM set itself up. That no longer happens. Thanks for all the ideas everyone. Maybe when a few hundred more folks notice this and post it will get more attention. I actually did a factory reset twiceand it didn’t help, so I wouldn’t waste your time. I guess I had never set up a voicemail pin. Since my voicemail messages had always come directly to my phone, it wasn’t until my my visual voicemail stopped working thatI had to call to get my messages, and I never had to enter a pin number. I never did understand the area I have outlined in red in this pic.🙄4Views0likes0CommentsRe: Native Visual Voicemail not working on my brand new Unlocked Pixel 6a phone

Interesting. When I called my voicemail all I got was my messages and never got a prompt to enter my PIN.3Views0likes0CommentsRe: Native Visual Voicemail not working on my brand new Unlocked Pixel 6a phone
During one of my T-Mobile ducissions with their tech support they thought it might be a Google glitch and transferred me to Google Support. When I talked to Google Tech Support they laughed, and said “Voicemail” is a carrier thing and has nothing to do with Google. Andlike I said, changing carriers solved my problem. I wonder if yourproblem hassomething to do with how the new sim registered your phone?10Views0likes0CommentsRe: Native Visual Voicemail not working on my brand new Unlocked Pixel 6a phone

Happened to co-incide with a huge network upgrade by TMO on my nearest tower. I am on Mint mobile but it uses TMO’s network and I am a TMO HI customer as well. Guess I will try calling Mint to see if they know anything but there are sure a lot of people with this problem out there in forums for this to not be some sort of real issue. Are you getting the same message (activating voicemail) that I was getting in the top pic that I posted? I kept thinking that it seemed like they were trying to activate it, but it never did. It’s obviously a carrier problem because since changing carriersI’m having no problems. Also, it’s weird that I had no problems on my Unlocked Pixel 3a with T-Mobile for the 3 years I had it and after giving it to my Brother he’s having no problems on the same T-Mobile plan that I had. Yeah, searching the internet, I found that a lot of people are have this same problem Good luck!😉4Views0likes0CommentsRe: Pixel Visual Voicemail Not Activating

My last phone a Unlocked Pixel 3a, it worked fine, but I just bought a Unlocked Pixel 6a and and could never get it to work. I spent endless hours talking to T-Mobile support and the problem could never be resolved. In the end... the only way I could get it to work on my Pixel 6a, was to change Carriers.5Views0likes0CommentsRe: Native Visual Voicemail not working on my brand new Unlocked Pixel 6a phone
Unfortunately, my visual voicemail problem could not be resolved by T-Mobile and was forced to change carriers. It’s working fine now with Google FI.

Thanks, and yes, I’ll probably go there…. after Black Friday!😁8Views0likes0CommentsRe: Native Visual Voicemail not working on my brand new Unlocked Pixel 6a phone

I googled it and found their forums and it looks like they are some really geeky people…the kind that mod and root their phones. I’ve talked to “Google” tech support and they have assured me that it’s a T-Mobile issue. Google Tech support advised me to take it to a T-Mobile store to see if they had anyanswers, but they couldn’t resolve the problem. The T-Mobile store advised me to take it to Best Buy because they sell Google Unlocked phones and might have an answer. Thank you very much for your response, and at some point I might post my problem atthe XDA forums.8Views0likes0CommentsNative Visual Voicemail not working on my brand new Unlocked Pixel 6a phone
I just bought a new Unlocked Pixel 6a phone and my native Visual Voicemail is not working. My Unlocked Pixel 3a native Visual Voicemail worked fine for 3 years and it still works fine as I’ve given this phone to my brother who has the same T-Mobile plan. I’ve talked to T-Mobile support and so far they haven’t been able to figure out why it’s not working. It appears (see pics) that it’s trying to activate, but never does. Using the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail App is NOT an option…it is not the same and it doesn’ttranscribe the voicemail to text. If this issue can’t be resolved I’ll be forced to change carriers.Solved2.7KViews1like22Comments
