Do we now uncheck "Google Chat"?
jerryinforum:
Now that I'm signed up with Phone Power?
No more forwarding to "Google Chat"? Or do we still need that there for some reason.
N7AS:
No, you can remove Google Chat now that you have forwarding to PhonePower.

Does that apply even if I still want GV to forward to my cellphone? Or can that be done with Phone Power, too? Or (sorry for all the choices) -- should I keep Chat checked to both forward to my cell AND take any incoming voicemail in GV? I prefer to keep Google voicemail and disable PP, if possible.
Thanks for the help!
SteveInWA:
The Google Chat "pseudo forwarding phone" was only used by Google Voice to send forwarded calls to the Google Chat system (and unintentionally, to third parties logged in as Chat clients, such as your OBi box).
Google Chat is obsolete, and it is being shut down on the 15th. The Chat entry on your forwarding phones list is now completely useless, and so it may be disabled and deleted. It has no interaction at all with any actual telephone numbers you list as forwarding phones.
Google Chat's successor product, Hangouts, works automatically as a forwarding destination, and it does not require an entry on your forwarding phones list.
