Google Voice ringing too many phones

No one here told you to delete your Comcast number. We just told you to uncheck it...even in the Groups and Circles.
SteveInWA may clarify this further...but I wonder if a new GV account (after January) needs to have the original forwarding number to function properly?
I saw this discussion, but I can't make any sense out of what the OP is trying to do. It sounds like s/he doesn't understand how Google Voice works, and has likely set up their account incorrectly.

Thanks to all for your help...! GV now just rings the GV phones, and apparently deleting the Comcast number while I was in there caused no problems. You are right Steve, I don't know how a whole lot of Google works....! GV has a whole bunch of fancy features I don't even want to learn how to use, let alone how they work. Just looking for a low-cost telephone line across US and Canada.
Now my OBI200 appears to work just fine with GV, as long as I don't power my desktop computer up or down while a phone call is underway. Seems my Modem/router (Netgear D2200D supplied free by Frontier) cannot keep its active ports running when one of them shuts down, or even if an unused port suddenly connects. It apparently has to shut all down for 2-3 minutes and reboot. When this occurs, the OBI drops one side of the call and doesn't recover.
When I discovered this, I remembered I had an old Westell unit also from Frontier maybe 10 years ago and found it had none of this problem. Each port continued operating regardless of activity on other ports. Unfortunately I can't use it because it doesn't do WiFi. Looks like I'm gonna have to sit on hold on the Frontier service line long enough to find out if the new one is broken, or maybe I need a different model.
