Visual Voicemail

AT&T's visual voicemail app, which lists your voicemails so you can play them in any order without dialing in. You can disable it, with a caveat: read what stops working first.

What it does

AT&T Visual Voicemail downloads your voicemail messages to the phone and shows them as a list, so you can play, save or delete them without calling your mailbox. AT&T uses it on Android phones that lack a built-in visual voicemail client, preloads it on some models and lists it on Google Play. It checks the mailbox in the background when a new message arrives.

Also shown as AT&T Visual Voicemail.

If you disable it

Visual voicemail stops on phones that rely on this app. Voicemail itself still works when you call your mailbox from the dial pad.

How to disable it

Settings offers Disable for this package on most phones. Open Settings > Apps > Visual Voicemail > Disable or Uninstall; the exact wording follows the phone's maker.

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.att.mobile.android.vvm

adb shell pm enable com.att.mobile.android.vvm

The stronger option removes it for your user only; the original copy stays on the phone and a factory reset brings it back. Prefer disabling: it is easier to undo.

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.att.mobile.android.vvm

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.att.mobile.android.vvm

New to ADB? Set it up in about ten minutes.
