Sprint Visual Voicemail not working
Just got my E3D, and when i get a voicemail i get a text telling me to call a 408 number or something. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
Never seen it before. Thanks, Simpdapimp Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk |

I finally figured it out. It was caused by Handcent SMS. There is a setting that allows you to make Handcent the default messaging app, if you choose this option it will interfere with the Visual Voicemail app bc, the app uses a text service to pull voicemails. I found this out just messing around in the app after i spent 2hours on phone with Sprint cust. service. I am planning an email to Handcent on the issue.

Great Find!!!!!
I was pulling my hair out and wasting time with Sprint Tech Support. QUOTE=Simpdapimp;2122259]I finally figured it out. It was caused by Handcent SMS.

I wonder if you blacklist the Sprint number if it would fix that. I remember having to do that with CM6 on my Hero. I'll test it and post results.

I tried that and it did not work. The only way I have found for this to work is to disable the Handcent program as the default messaging program and then restart the phone to get a fresh boot.

Yes blacklist will not work bc it is still controlling the text message function.

Re: Sprint Visual Voicemail not working
This is awesome.. I too was receiving these text messages instead of getting my visual voicemail, but it was right after I did the gingerbread update, so I thought it was from that. I did a data wipe / hard reset on my phone twice in the past two weeks to try fixing this. A Sprint tech did this two weeks ago, saying he never saw this problem before, and I just did it again this morning. I just disabled Handcent as the default messaging application, and now it works again. Wow, it's almost always something so obvious that it don't make sense... Thank you for posting this!!
