Access Google Voicemail with PIN

(1/2) > >>

BrianH-MN:
When I use my phone attached to my OBi100 and call my Google voice number, it takes me directly to the voicemail options to hear messages and etc.  Is it possible to be prompted to enter a PIN?  

I found the settings to modify all other phones that have been added to my Google voice profile, but I can't find any settings for my actual Google voice number that rings directly to my OBi100.

Thanks in advance,

Brian

Brian,

You go to your GoogleVoice web page for your GV number.

Click on your phone number on the left column.

You get a page that says for instance:
Forwards calls to: Google chat.  

Click on Edit under that

You get an edit page that says:

Voicemail Access: ?    
Direct access to voicemail when calling your Google number from this phone?
o Yes (default for mobile phones)
  o PIN required (for added safety)
  o PIN not required (for added convenience)
o No (requires pressing star during greetings -- default for non-mobile phones)

Thanks for the reply, but I have already checked those settings and it doesn't work.  If I call my own Google Voice number from the phone attached to the OBi100 it takes me directly into my voicemail options without prompting for a PIN.

Click EDIT on GoogleTalk for the SAME GMAIL ADDRESS that is on your OBi.  Require pin, then click SAVE.

The only option that matches my email address is the Google Chat.  I checked those settings and it is setup to prompt for a PIN, but it doesn't when I call my own number from the phone attached to the OBi100.
