It asks me to enter my four digit pin and it doesn't call the phone. I can make calls out but I can't receive them. I have google chat selected in google voice.

Any help would be great.

Are you calling from one of the phones listed in GV (i.e. your cell phone)? Turn voice mail access off for that phone (settings->phones->mobile->edit->voicemail access: no).

In advanced settings for your cell phone number in your Google Voice account, change:

Direct access to voicemail when calling your Google number from this phone?

Yes (default for mobile phones)

to

No (requires pressing star during greetings -- default for non-mobile phones)

That was it, thanks guys. When I was calling from my mobile phone it kept doing that so I was able to turn it off.
Thanks again.

Sorry, one more off topic question. How to I access my voicemail, what number would I call?
