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??

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

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

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.

I believe that in that case, if you don't answer then it forwards to Google voice. Where have you been receiving your voicemails as of late. Do they appear on you GV account?

everything appears on GV besides my outgoing texts.

So then you should be fine, is that with call screening off?

elikay · « **Reply #12 on:** December 23, 2011, 01:04:22 AM »

I find that interesting that your outgoing texts are not there, are you sure?

elikay · « **Reply #13 on:** December 23, 2011, 01:06:43 AM »

Take that back, the way it is setup outgoing texts need to be sent from the site or an app to show up as coming from GV. (probably to avoid confusion as it would look like you sent it to a different number - whatever, its complicated; it probably could be done I don't know why they don't /end rant)

Yes it's call screening off besides for when I get a click in middle of a phone call it tells me who's calling

?

Thanks!
Really important

Not without other services.

Edit: Something like this.

By the way, I don't have call screening on, and my GV voicemail picks up my calls (forwards to cell and office at the same time).

It worked fine for over a year, and recently my cell phone VM was picking up too fast. I called VZW tech support -- and they lengthened the delay that it takes for the VZW VM to pick up, so that it always gets picked up by GV. Unless you call my cell directly, in which case VZW VM picks up.

Why not just change your VZW VM number to GV?
