Google Voice Voicemails are not activating the message waiting light on my phone
twood:
I see what you guys are talking about. Like I said there is no option to "Turn off the OBi device as a forwarding number" which is what I was looking for. That option does not exist. The option is "My devices/Turn on the devices you want to answer calls on".
There is an option for "Call forwarding Turn on the linked numbers you want to forward calls to." which like I said, does not have the Obi listed and you cannot do that.
I see that you can accomplish what you guys are saying though so my bad on implying the functionality doesn't exist. Still, it's probably best to reference this the way Google Voice does.
So, inbound for ALL CALLS on callcentric is just 1 dollar a month? If so, that's a cheap option for sure.

NO IT DOES NOT. Screenshots! Show the screenshots. IT IS NOT EVEN AN OPTION IN GOOGLE VOICE. Noob or not, it simply does not work like that.
Ok, here are two screenshots. You can disable it in the Legacy version or the new UI.

Wrong again!

You are trying to turn Google Voice into something it's not. It is not a "free telephone company". It is not a bare-bones SIP ITSP. It is a complete, integrated telephone call forwarding, calling, voicemail and text messaging service. You cannot pick and choose, and you cannot make it work like an old-school SIP ITSP. You cannot disable its voicemail and use Callcentric's voicemail. IF you attempt to do that, and you are on a phone call, and another call comes in, that call will go to Google Voice's voicemail. Now, you will be worse-off, because you have VMs going to two different places.
Google Voice was not designed to be a standalone SP for OBiTALK products. It was designed to enable OBi's to just one more place where you can send calls. Google assumes you are using their service as designed, which means you have a smartphone that can run the mobile Google Voice app. You receive notifications via the app, and/or via email. I already explained that you can set it to push a notification to your phone of missed calls and/or voicemail messages and/or SMS/MMS messages. You can also have it send an email notice. Those are the notification methods, not MWI. Period.
If you don't like this, like zsak23 said, go get your VoIP service from some other company. You are just being unreasonably argumentative because you want everything for free. This service doesn't meet your needs, so go pay a modest fee to use another service and not Google Voice.

It looks like you also get E911.
