Using GV but I want to completely turn off voicemail system when phone in use

There is no such thing as truly free, full-function telephone service.  Somebody has to pay for the cost of acquiring and managing the phone numbers, handling the calls, and dealing with customer support.  Google Voice isn't free -- Google makes money if you spend more time using as many Google services as they can convince you to use, and thus send you advertisements.

There is no free 911 service.  If there was, it would probably route emergency calls to a guy named Fred, who, when he's feeling up to it and isn't hung over, would look up your city on a map, and then call their police or fire department.  Providing a highly-reliable connection to the country's E911 systems costs money.

That's true, Steve.
I'll look around to see which best suit my needs at the lowest possible cost. I already have a landline so I don't need 911 service and the phone is strictly for incoming calls from work.

Just time is tight so it is better ask around which can save me a lot of time and headache.

While perhaps not within the letter of the law, I tell CallCentric that the phone number will not be use within the U.S. That eliminates the 911 fee and makes it totally free.
