Using GV for Voicemail on Cell Phone When Using Obi
kes601:
Ok, long title, but having an issue with Google Voice / Obi.....
Before I setup Obi to work w/my Google Voice account, I could forward my unanswered calls from my cell phone to my GV number and it would go straight to VM.
Now if I forward calls from my cell phone to my GV number for VM it will ring my cell phone 4 or 5 times and then ring GV 4 or 5 times (so the phone connected to the Obi will ring) and then finally go to VM. Anybody know a trick to leave GV connected to my Obi but also allow my cell phone to go straight to VM?

Log in to your acount at google.com/voice, go to the settings page and under 'forwarding phones' untick 'Chat'?

It's already Unchecked. I did another test call and IT IS NOT ringing the phone attached to the Obi. It's just not going to VM right away. I tested with a different GV number and it works as expected.

In your Google Voice settings, under the advanced settings for your cell phone......what do you have "Forwarding Options" set to?

It's set to go Straight to VM. I've been doing some research and it seems for some people if you don't have the GV number set to also ring your cell phone then it won't work. I'll test that out when I get home. It's not how I want it to work but may help narrow down the issue.
