As far as I know, they started removing this from some phones, such as the Galaxy series. Have to use the sometimes-unreliable Google Play app.
Got this as well, but it didn’t tell me to install MetroPCS. Just to update the voicemail app. The link took me here: https://i.imgur.com/Hzo0xuA.png I clicked the voicemail app and it automatically redirected me to the Playstore to update (this link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tmobile.vvm.application&hl=en), so I doubt it was phishing/scam (since the link is legitimate). Not sure about Metro.
Though the app is by T-Mobile voicemail, but I never installed it.
Edit: from the looks of it, I guess it’s fine?
Edit: asked T-Mobile on Twitter. It’s legit.
Visual voicemail is free and native in the phone dialer app. You can tap the play button and pause voicemails. What you're referring to is a feature of visual voicemail that transcribes the voice into text. In that case you'd need an app. You can download the T-Mobile visual voicemail app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tmobile.vvm.application however, you'll have to pay TMobile a monthly fee of $4 for the "Voicemail to text" feature to work.
> Now my phones receiving texts again, but this is crazy. I'm not using the default messenger, but should it matter? I use Google Messenger, always had on all my android phones.
I use the same thing, and got bitten by the same issue.
Open Auto-Start Messenger, switch to the "Downloaded" tab, and set Google Messenger to allowed. If you do not, it is indeed possible to miss text messages.
You should also do this for any other applications that need to receive messages or push notifications (if you use them, this includes applications such as Android Wear, Google Calendar, Fitbit, Facebook (and Messenger), Google Hangouts, Google+, Skype, Snapchat, Twitter, etc.). Also, since you have T-Mobile, I'm guessing you have T-Mobile Visual Voicemail installed (if you don't, get it. It's great!) Make sure that this is also allowed to run.
You can also manage and listen to voicemail using vistual voicemail app.
Besides that update your software for better signal receiption.
Not quite.
- The app needs to be a system app (factory-installed) for the Voicemail feature to be available. If you install it on a Samsung you won't see this; instead there is a dedicated VM app (without such a feature).
- Can you confirm that you get VM in the native phone app on T-Mobile? Last I checked (on a Sony) it failed to activate; instead I had to download the TMO VM app. (That's a little while ago though, and I'm not touching T-Mobile with a long stick anymore). Google Fi is different of course.
Samsung's Visual Voicemail app does not work if you have TMO, you have to download the TMO Visual Voicemail app from the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tmobile.vvm.application&hl=en and it really sucks!
I struggle with the same issue.
What I've found that works for me as a workaround is downloading this App, and listening to the voicemail (even if partially) and the notification being stuck goes away.

Anyone know if the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app that you can get from the Google Play store works with Mint on a pixel?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tmobile.vvm.application&hl=en\_US&gl=US
Does OnePlus support native visual voicemail in the dialer app? On Pixel devices that works with Mint. If not supported on OnePlus, then you can probably the T-Mobile visual voicemail app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tmobile.vvm.application
Or this version, which is basically the same thing but without T-Mobile branding:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vna.service.vvm
I have a grandfathered T-Mobile Prepaid PayGo account that does not include any data. I get voicemail notifications and can retrieve and listen to voicemails in the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app using WiFi. This is the app, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tmobile.vvm.application If the OP is on Ting X3 maybe it would work for them.
I just use the Tmobile Visual Voicemail on my unlocked S9+ (until my Note 20 Ultra finally ships)
Look up Tmobile Visual Voicemail in the Google play store.

Edited to add the link.

I am also on a connect plan, and I just use the Visual Voicemail app from T-mobile on the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tmobile.vvm.application&hl=en
It seems to work just fine...
Hmm that is strange, is it a separate app? I'm on AT&T and we have a separate app you can download, it looks like T-Mobile does too: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tmobile.vvm.application
Not a direct solution, but if your network provider has a visual voicemail client on the play store (like TMobile VVM https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tmobile.vvm.application) it clears the regular voicemail notification and replaces it with it's own, which is hideable.
Edit: TMobs does, at least.
Well I can say that in my experience, I have been able to download and use T-Mobile's visual voicemail and other apps on my phone that is definitely not a T-Mobile phone.
Try downloading this and see whether it says that it is compatible. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tmobile.vvm.application
I'm not sure what else you might have on your mind that you might miss out on. Maybe some bloat.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tmobile.vvm.application
Have to set it to default in the settings. If that is already installed, usually you just have to open it and it sets itself up.
This is now happening to me. Not only do I no longer get system notifications, the visual voicemail application no longer works either.
LG G5 here.
My stock T-Mobile S9+ opens the T-Mobile visual voicemail. Did you mess around with any settings? Do you have the T-Mobile app installed and logged into your account?
Edit: It looks like this app is installed on my phone but is hidden: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tmobile.vvm.application&hl=en_US
Try installing (or opening if already installed) that app.
Visual voicemail is (IMO) when an app lists your voicemails by time/number so you can click and listen through them without having to call your voicemail and listen in order. The transcription costs extra. That's been my experience with AT&T and T-Mobile.
And yes, you can get it: T-Mobile Visual Voicemail on the Play Store. They give a free trial of the transcription service and it was very good, but I don't get enough voicemails for that to be worth paying for.
Check out my reply on another post.
I basically switched from the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app which stopped working to My Visual Voicemail because I got a text telling me to.
I'm on T-Mobile so I just downloaded the t-mobile voicemail app on the Play Store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tmobile.vvm.application
I didn't know either! Here it is from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tmobile.vvm.application
Did you download the Android app? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tmobile.vvm.application&hl=en_US&gl=US
You could try T-Mobile Visual Voicemail
T-Mobile documentation says their Visual Voicemail app will let you save voicemail messages. You can also download using a browser pointed at https://voicemail.my.t-mobile.com/voicemailweb/Home.html.
Here you go
> You'll miss visual voicemail
Huh? As far as I know, all the big carriers have visual voicemail apps for Android. Have for a long time.
Edit:
T-Mobile (also works on MetroPCS; or did earlier this year)
Some searching around shows that Sprint has one that seems to be on their phones, but I can't find it in Google Play.
Also, Marshmallow supports visual voicemail. It's right in the stock Android dialer app.
Yes, Visual Voicemail is working for me. At first I used T-Mobile Visual Voicemail after hearing about it on this sub. Then 5 months ago I got a text to let me know that "a new version of My Visual Voicemail app is now available". The link pointed me to My Visual Voicemail. Recently the Phone by Google app integrated visual voicemail.
This from T-Mobile's support page regarding the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app:
>This app is only for Android devices, Apple iOS devices use a built-in voicemail app. For help with the iPhone app, see How to save Visual Voicemail messages on your iPhone - Apple Support.
I use the visual voicemail app from T-Mobile. It works well for me.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tmobile.vvm.application&hl=en&gl=US
Just download the T-Mobile visual voicemail app from the play store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tmobile.vvm.application
T-Mobile has a separate app you need to download for Visual Voice Mail
If the official https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tmobile.vvm.application&hl=en_US app does not work then something is not setup right with t-Mobile, try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vna.service.vvm&hl=en_US
Have you tried the T-Mobile Voice Mail app?
T-Mobile branded Visual VM app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tmobile.vvm.application
Maybe try downloading the T-Mobile voicemail app and check the settings. It probably changes it for that line.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tmobile.vvm.application
You have to download the VVM app for Tmobile on the Play store and it should work. See link. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tmobile.vvm.application
Alternatively, you can flash the Tmobile firmware onto the unlock Note 9 and get naive intergration. See link. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/n960u-tmb-stock-odin-files-firmware-t3833205
I personally use Google Voice for visual voicemail. No need for carrier support. See link. https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/set-up-google-voice-get-visual-voicemail-your-unlocked-android-phone-0183511/
Good luck.

I just installed the app and it was working without me having to do anything.
