Voicemail performance is still a fragmented mess on Android because each manufacturer designs their own dialer app, each carrier builds its own visual voicemail app.
But it looks like will try to fix this with Android M. A screenshot spotted by Android lice shows an elegant, Material Design-style voicemail player built right into the dialer.
According to a ticket posted to the Android Issue Tracker, support is coming for T-Mobile, oject Fi, Orange in . Because there are several months to go before Android M comes out of preview, we sincerely hope it will become operable for other networks as well.
y this matters: Visual voicemail is one of the few remaining holes in the stock version of Android. If you want you can send your voicemail to Hangouts, but it’s a jagged implementation Voice’s transcription is terrible. The carriers various manufacturers will of course tinker with what designs, but at least this pushes visual voicemail into the core of Android.
