I’m a user of fairphone oos, very happy with it. I’ve recently add the visual voice mail to my mobile phone plan but i’m forced to use the app from my provider… But i don’t really like that option…
After few researches i don’t find any alternatives on F-droid, but this : https://source.android.com/devices/tech/config/voicemail is there a way to add this feature to my fairphone oos? Or do i just have to wait until the team reach this version of android? Or maybe someone known about a free/open source alternative?
Hmm, the page says that the Android implementation hands over its functionality in case a provider specific app is installed when it recognizes so. But it does not say how to revoke the link to the app when it’s not present any more.
Not sure to have the same problem… but I used to have the VVM on fairphone open os with the stock android app. Your post make me have a look and it’s not there anymore… I don’t think I have change anything…
Ok, I think I found it… In the phone app , in “parameters”-> “phone accounts”, select your provider and there you should found voice mail with an option to enable it.
Are you both on the same operator? I also only see the VM options @frederiiiic has pointed out. But neither I have set up my VM yet, nor do I believe that my operator supports VVM.
Yep, that makes sense, as the menu entry is set after the name of my operator…
Orange (France) is my operator.
I understand that @frederiiiic is using a dedicated app for VVM, so I guess that his operator supports it.
Have you try to uninstall the operator app? Maybe some kind of conflict??
Unfortunatly maybe @Amber is right, but 2 week ago i had to change sim card to another old mobile, and this one recieved some hidden SMS after listening to my voicemail, and they look like VVM commincations :
“//VVM:SYNC:ev=NM;t=v;s=06XXXXXXXX;id=561;l=24;c=1;dt=19/12/2017 15:23 +0100”
Maybe they used VVM but haven’t declare it in the network, so user can only use the dedicated app, and are forced to share their entire phone for using it!!
