Problem calling google voice number

I just got my obi 100 setup and also just ported my landline (via T-mobile - see other thread) to google voice. I have google voice setup with only one other number which is my cell phone number, and I have google chat selected under "forward calls to", and I have my cell number unchecked. If I call my google voice number (ie. my home) from my cell phone it doesn't ring, but instead I get a recording saying "to access your account please enter your 4 digit pin". I can call the home number from any other phone, so there must be something about having my cell number listed under my google voice account. Anyone know how to fix this?

Log into your Google Voice account and click on Edit of your cell phone entry.  Then click on Show advanced settings.

Then select:

Voicemail Access: No (requires pressing star during greetings -- default for non-mobile phones)

Ok, thanks that fixed the problem.
