Visual voicemail on Android

Hello

Congratulations on switching to the Pixel, you’ll have a lot of fun with it.

Unfortunately, Swisscom appears to have had an exclusive Visual Voicemail contract with Apple since the introduction of the iPhones.

Good morning everyone

Great news: As of yesterday, Visual Voicemail is available on my Pixel 3 with Android Q Beta 5 and I was suddenly able to activate it with the push of a button -bf8e-86591b655408]

The voicemail screen

Exactly, HERE the ones undercover announcement of the whole

I can’t activate it on my Google Pixel 2 XL yet or I don’t know where, but it’s really nice that something finally seems to be working. 👍

Thanks for the tip @Beni_97

Will this be rolled out in stages?

Hello

I currently strongly advise against activating VV on an Android device. Please be patient.

Thanks for the tip.

Now we’ve been waiting for this for so long and we’ll be able to hold out for a few more days. But I’m right in assuming that more information will come, when, how, etc.?

Yes, when the time comes, we will announce it. But it will still take a while. There are still a few things to optimize and test.

Come here via Pixel Forum. https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/5828752?hl=en Today messages popped up on several Androids that SMS want to be sent to 30047. That pointed to Swisscom. (Although M-Budget subscriptions are also included) Apparently VVM is now activated. After testing it briefly, it doesn’t seem to work yet.

Exactly the same thing for me (Essential Phone on Wingo)… seems to have activated itself on native Android @Anonymous or with an automatic Play Store update of the Android dialer (no system update, the last one is from the beginning of August and in a few days there will be Q) to do; Previously I didn’t have a Mailbox menu item in the dialer either. I’ve now switched it off again to get rid of the message (you really think you’ve caught something). Even though I’ve never missed VVM (unlike VoLTE, which unfortunately still doesn’t on the PH-1 along with Wingo), I certainly welcome the fact that the majority of smartphone users are no longer discriminated against.

Yes, Google has started rolling out the necessary configuration. But this happens in stages. So welcome to the future. 😉

So I’m not particularly receptive to irony in the “welcome to the future” style in this context. Many other providers worldwide have been offering VoLTE, WifiCalling, VVN for a long time. Only when I look at these topics here in the forum is there an extreme slowdown, except for the iPhone. All the arguments like “Google is to blame”, right up to quality pretexts… And then when things move forward in the background, things get messed up at the first attempt without communication….??

Did I make a mistake by rejecting the request and blocking the sender of the message? 🤔 The message looked a lot like “evil” to me.

a: A lot of Android devices now support VoLTE & Co natively in our network. We are also annoyed that some manufacturers do not integrate the necessary settings. It’s really not up to us. Every device that has the settings integrated is permitted on our network.

b: We are in discussions with Google to ensure that VVM is activated as agreed. This SMS message shouldn’t come at all. From our point of view, it is also a nuisance because it causes uncertainty among customers. Hope the situation will improve soon.

I had VVM running on my Pixel 2XL with Android 9 and everything worked. After upgrading to Android 10, the feature was gone again. Is this due to Swisscom or Google?

I got an update to the phone app to Android 10 today. Now I can use VVM again. 🙂
