Google Voice problem.

[Jjwilliams]

So I set up the google voice, and called my phone from my wife's to test it. And I get a busy signal after I don't answer.

Did you set up voicemail to go the GV too?

 

[Jjwilliams]

I followed the instructions and it said complete. The settings show Google voice as my voicemail provider.

Deactivate and Reactivate the phone in GV

Mine had the same problem when I first set it up. I deactivated the phone in Google Voice under Settings and then Reactivated it and it worked fine after that.

Don't forget to add the number as one of your 10 family and friends.

I never did that or know that I can. Is that plan specific? Were do you put it in?

You have to have a certain number of minutes on your plan. With a family plan, you have to have at least 1400 minutes to get it. You can access it through the Verizon website. You can add 10 numbers per family plan that are unlimited, no matter who they are with. And Google Voice is not a Verizon number.

Here's a link about it: Verizon Wireless

Hmm, looks like my older plan doesn't have that option,.

I have deactivated and reactivated 3 times and get the same thing

I guess the 4th time is a charm. It works good now. Thanks for the tips
