Those who are using Android ROMs without Google play services installed: Do you know any visual voicemail apps that work without Google Play Services? I tried the app ‘My Visual Voicemail’ but it wouldn’t work. Though it seems to see all my voicemails when I open the app, a popup comes up saying the app requires Google Play Services and refuses to play the voicemails. I was also going to try ‘Boost Visual Voicemail’ (my carrier), but I wasn’t able to find the .apk file through the usual channels (apkmirror.com, https://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/). I didn’t see anything relevant in F-Droid either.

TIA!

    Yes. I can hold the 1 key down, and it will give me a voice menu to listen to my messages, but I get no notification when there is a new message. I previously had an iPhone, and in that dialer there was a voicemail tab that showed my inbox and you could listen to/delete the messages from there (and I got a notification when there was a new message).

    There are some Play Store apps that have this function, but I have yet to find one that works without Google Play Services installed
