sunny:
I downloaded the app for Google.voice on my phone (sprint HTC EVO) and it has this annoying feature that once you press talk then it says to answer press one... Does anyone know how I can get rid of it??

ceejay:
Turn off call screening in https://www.google.com/voice/b/1?setup=1#callsettings

Columbiadorm:
I actually like that feature. It gives me the 3 seconds I need before talking to someone. I use this line my business line.

i turned mine off but if i get a call in middle of a call it tells me whos calling and press 1 to connect

elikay:
Unless you want your messages to go to your cellphone's voicemail, then keep the screenig on. I also like to have it so I know if the person calling called my cell or GV.
