Is there any way to check my messages on my phone's voicemail, or am I forced to log online everytime I have a message...just let me know...thanks! :)

AbsolutKaz,

If the message is going to Google VM then you need to use a computer. If you force your phone answering machine to pickup before Google (under 25 seconds) then you can use the phone VM. You cannot have both.

Thanks!

I really just want to use the phone's build in message system and not worry about logging in for messages.

Now to time everything out...

Hi QBZappy,

Question, could he also just dial his own GV number to check his GV messages?  And would this allow him to check his GV voicemail without having to use a computer?

Just double-checking ;D

pc44,

If you use call your GV number with the phone that you used to register with to set up GV, you should land on your GV VM. From the OP it sounded like he preferred to use his phone VM. It certainly is an option to consider.
