T-Mobile visual voicemail

I've come with no expectations that every feature will work with GOS when Switching from Stock Android to GOS degoogled to improve security and privacy. If something undermines those values, it shouldn't be part of the OS- that's just my opinion. If it is just an issue, it is a bug that can be tracked and eventually resolved but it might take time as there are probably more higher priority stuff.

Having said that, the bigger the reach the GOS has, the more expectations people will have as to why its not the same thing as stock Android.

F0SSIL can please share steps taken? I would like to try to replicate them on my p7.

Kottonballs To be quite honest, I have no idea exactly what it was that I did to get it working. I can say that I tried to get it working on my P8 when I had a physical sim card and had no luck. However, after converting over to eSim somehow managed to make it work. I do have another P8 and another T-mobile line, so I can try it again and document and share exactly what I did.

F0SSIL Thank you in advance if you are able to try again. If not, that's fine too. VVM is just a nice to have for me so I wouldn't want you to go to great extents.

My P7 has a physical SIM. If you're able to recreate with an eSim, I'll copy on my end and we may find out that the SIM matters.

F0SSIL This would be awesome. I'll mirror on my 8Pro with physical SIM and document also. I hadn't thought to try an eSIM but I had considered a trip to the T-Mobile shop to swap SIMs. I don't know enough to determine if it should make a difference...

I was half expecting to read tragic news when I clicked this thread #clickbait lol

blackpill I think it's important for users to donate code, testing time, and money to ensure that it continues. All are extremely valuable to the GOS team and I think it's too easy to take them for granted. I donate yearly just so they can keep me from jumping to iOS. (if GOS didn't exist, I'd be on iOS) :)

NowhereFast I know it's been a while since the last post but just wanted to share my experience.

I set up a Pixel 8 and a Pixel 8 Pro with T-Mobile prepaid service (in the US) a few weeks ago for a couple of people. Visual Voicemail would not activate from the stock GOS phone app nor the Google phone app.

I downloaded the official T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app from the Play Store, and the T-Mobile VVM app has been working perfectly for a few weeks now on those phones. But it will only work if sandboxed Play Services are installed. If PS are not installed, the VVM app will not activate, and you will be stuck on the activation screen forever.

I definitely wish that VVM would work on the stock GOS phone app (or in the Google Phone App) like it is supposed to work, but it currently doesn't work (at least not for me). Hopefully one day it will work again!
