look here http://www.obihai.com/tutorial11.html I think you can change the option under forwarding options to ring your other phones before going to voice mail. Correct me if I'm wrong.
That would be applicable if you have Google Voice replace the voicemail service for your cell phone instead of using your normal cell phone service voicemail.
Yeah you see that's where I Start getting a little confused. So say that is my cell phone and I have that box checked, then when someone calls my cell phone directly and I don't answer, then Google's voice mail takes over. Am I able to check Google voice mail from my cell phone? It is a bit confusing.
I suppose I could just always leave my cell phone on all the time.

I think its better not to activate the forwarding.

In order for Google Voice to be able to ring other phones before going to voicemail when someone calls your cell phone and you don't answer it, you have to allow Google Voice voicemail to become your cell phone voicemail service instead of letting your cell phone company provide the voicemail service as they do now. That's the only way Google Voice would have any way of knowing that your cell phone is being called and you're not answering it. To have Google Voice take over the voicemail service for your cell phone, you have to click the link shown in the screen capture below.

That's correct.

I have 2 tracfone phones. One on At&t and one on Verizon. Neither one can be set up with conditional call forwarding with google voice.
I get a call restrictions message on the at&t phone and the Verizon phone just makes funny noise instead of completing the call.
My kids have at&t prepaid on iPhones. They were able to set the conditional call forwarding on their phones for google voice.
