Use Google Voice without changing your number

Interesting solution. I've been avoiding trying out the service in part because I didn't want to bring another phone number into the picture (at least until I'm clear on where Google is going with this.) I assume the service is working well for you? Also – have you figured out whether Google is hanging onto the voicemail transcripts fro their own database?

Interestingly I have not found a way to delete VMs yet, so maybe it is archiving them to learn better transcription routines. I am happier keeping a number I have had for awhile and can port to any carrier vs. using a GV number (which is a 310 area code anyway which is even more confusing for people)

Well, it works. Takes too long to send to voicemail for me though.

Good call – ill check it out. So far it works well.

Too many rings or too long to deliver the email?

I meant too many rings, although the email/sms took like 4 minutes, which isn't bad.

I think the same effect can be realized by setting the Do not disturb option. This way you can temporarily override this and receive calls on your other phones.

I think number garage is pretty cool – especially to “park” a number. I
have a cell number that I will never give up and my phone can handle most of
the forwarding I have setup. Google Voice does the rest and the
transcribing has been pretty good (but not as good as PhoneTag I believe)

Sprint charges $.20 per minute of call forwarding; worth noting.

Wow great to know…

I hope tmo doesn't charge

I have a G1 and wasn't able to set my voice forwarding numbers using “*004*1-xxx-xxx-xxxx#”. However, if you dial that number, and hit send, it will switch over all of the call forwarding numbers to the phone number at the end of the message.

Hope that helps anyone else who has run into this problem.

Thanks Fazal

Ok, I must be doing something wrong. If I call my voicemail from my cell phone I get access to the GVoice. But, if I call my cell phone number from any other phone it goes straight to my regular cell phone voicemail. Obviously, I'm blonde…could use a little extra help

hmmm sounds like you did not forward your cell phone vm correctly. You can
always call your carrier and have them walk you through the steps. The
instructions above should be for all companies though.

it takes alot of rings. 8 not going to work for some people.

Good point – is there any way to control the amount of rings in Google Voice?

Ok, but doesn't this mean that one can no longer forward their calls to different phones based upon predetermined criteria? This is one of the value propositions for Google Voice.

I totally agree, but currently do not have the need for that feature.

Until I can port my number to Google this is a great stop gap to get free vm transcription and archived voicemail.

Hope it was helpful.

I agree with you, Eric. Thanks for the info!

Ok, I've done it. But when I make calls from my cell, will my caller see the actual number or my GV number?

You rock, Eric!

If all you did was forward your cell to GV then anyone you call will still
see your original cell phone number. That is the beauty of this trick – you
get the best features of Google Voice, without the hassle of giving out a
new number.

This is why GV has apps for mobile phones. Your number should never be tied
to a device and Google Voice is helping make this possible in the future.

Thanks Eric! Just set it up. Super simple.

No problem – the auto transcription is a little wonky, but you can't beat
the price!

Hmmm – on my US Cellular account, I have to use *72+number to forward the call – and *720 turns it back off – I learned this by trial and error, *74+number didn't work.

Thank you for sharing with others.

[...] Use Google Voice without changing your number (marketing.fm) [...]

I tried the forwarding but if someone calls me when I'm already on the phone they are getting a busy signal instead of going to voicemail. Are you having this problem?

If you have Sprint, be aware that there are charges associated with using the call forwarding features described above. In just 5 days, my account racked up almost $20 in additional fees. The Sprint rep I spoke with on the phone to set this up did not warn me about this before enabling the call forwarding, so make sure you ask for details first.

Thanks for this tip!

Awesome trick Eric. I'm giving it a go.

Lucky for both of you you can keep your own number now.

Thanks Eric – I have been looking for this precise info to bridge the services and devices.

If you do this with Sprint they will charge you .20cpm regardless. I tried to switch Vmails to youmail and they advised me of the call forwarding fees.

After doing this, I now have full Voice features. This is awesome.

I would love a way to forward outgoing calls though. Maybe change the phones settings internally?

Thanks – and sorry to hear that.

No problem – google seems to have released this as a feature today with instructions. Nothing that new though.

I now want to port my number to GV totally.

Depending on your phone there is a Google voice app for blackberry that works quite well.

If not, you will have to wait until you can port your number directly to Google.

Google Voice now offers this as a simple configuration, and better yet, you can set GV to still ring all your phones when someone calls your GV number directly, but if they call your cell number and it forwards to GV for voicemail, GV can skip ringing all your numbers again and answer immediately.

To set up, go to Phones, click on “Use GV for voicemail on this device”. It will ask you the carrier and give you the short code to use to turn on busy/no answer forwarding. Now open up advanced options, and chose “when someone calls this number directly, forward immediately to voicemail”. Sorry if I got the wording of the selections a bit off, but I think it is clear enough to figure out how to do it.

Also I have read several places, if you have T-mobile, and use another service for voicemail, they will give you 200 extra minutes a month. This is so you get some extra minutes for checking your messages on a non-free number. I'm not sure if you have to call and ask for it, or if it is automatically available to whatever number is your busy/no answer forwarding number, but is nice to have.

Remember that call forwarding feature works like outgoing call. So if someone calls your cell phone which forwards a call too GV and you talk for 10 minutes, this will not be considered an incoming minutes, rather outgoing. With USCC for exampel, I have free incoming calls so it will put me at risk of going over.

This is a great point that I ran into when overseas – calls were actually
DOUBLE the amount of expected time due to the call forwarding feature.

Hi, I just got the Droid from Verizon and I was wondering about the texting. I know that if you get incoming texts, Verizon still charges you. So, if I were to get my google number and not have my regular number changed and receive texts from others. Will Verizon charge me?

On another note, I have texting blocked on my plan. So, through Google Voice can I get texts with the google voice number?

Dear Eric,
I wanted to know if Google voice will work with a LG lotus elite? My friend has one and I can't find any Intel on it. I'm trying to figure it out for her. If you can help please email me
GV works great with the IPhone. Thanks for taking the time to read my comment.
Sinerely,

A fashion handbag could be a part of a woman accessory to serve several purposes. A fashion handbag or a clutch could be carried with your special evening gown to give you a special evening look. On the other hand the day look could be enhanced by a casual fashion handbag with a long sling.

Various Types
gucci bags outlet
The style for handbags changes very often, and since it does not have any size, you can buy the perfect new handbag any time and select a fashionable handbag of your choice. There are bags with snake and reptilian effects and bags with smart combinations of chains, buttons and belts. The Gucci and Bottega Veneta brands can also offer a good buy for a fashion handbag.

Evening Look

As a fashion handbag for the evening look the new trend is a clutch bag. A tiny bag like an ultra small designer evening bag is also a popular fashion accessory today and the colors gold and silver give you a perfect evening look. Big gold bags are also in fashion, like the “Midnight” from Marks and Spencer, and it can be used if you want to carry a change of clothes to stay overnight.

The snake and reptilian effect fashion bags have been in fashion for a long time, and they come in real or faux impressed patterns with a glazed polish on it. Similarly, animal print is in fashion again, but it is important to choose the bag material carefully, otherwise the bag looks cheap. As a high fashion handbag the small box pattern for evening wear is preferred.

For The Day

For the day look, most women consider a big fashion handbag ideal. The roomy “Billy Bag” is popular not only because of its size, but also because it comes in a wide range of colors. Red is a popular color for big bags as well, but gold and purple are fashion trends today.

Chains, Stones, Beads

Often, a fashion handbag has a mix of a casual look and luxury details. A clutch with a gold-plated hardware attachment can well replace jewelry worn on the wrist or the neck. Grab bags often have chain handles and bag corners are often decorated with stones. Gucci has a clutch evening bag which is the latest fashion trend and the rings function as wristlet hardware. A shoulder fashion handbag can have a chain strap and beads are also used often on bags to give them an ethnic look.

Designer Brands

Most of the designer brands have fashion handbags of their own, Gucci Leather but Gucci and Bottega Veneta are selling very well in the Asia Pacific region. Both make bags of the highest quality and they are famous for their woven leather fashion handbags. Other brands like the YSL, Louis Vuitton, Chloe or Elliot Lucca are available. Among them Elliot Lucca fashion handbags are a fraction of the cost of the other designer brands and therefore more suited to the average person.

There are several, my first example is eBay. Gucci Shoulder Bags

I won a coach lot with 4 purses for $200. All of them are leather and in great condition. You can get many real coaches for cheap on eBay. Make sure the

seller does not have a boatload of the exact same purse listed, and make sure their feedback is public. coach wristlets
Even if the purse in the picture is real, it is possible that they will send you a fake one. Buying from a reputable seller is easy once you know what to

look for. If you are going for the signature line, watch out for the lining up, and the stitching around it. If the line up in the middle and at the seams,

it’s probably not a real coach. Leather ones are harder to fake.gucci

shoulder bags

Buying a fake coach bag may seem like it is saving you money at the time, but they don’t hold up as well or look as good as the real thing. You can find

fake coaches at almosst any flea market or swap meet for $20-70. Almost all of them are made of cheap material. There are a lot of webites that offer coach

replica’s, but reviews are mixed. coach bags cheap
If you buy these bags online, make yourself aware of their return/refund policies if you are not happy.

Goodwill is another place. I found a never-used authentic coach purse for $10.00 at the Goodwill a couple weeks ago. Black leather with brass hardware – it

is beautiful. I’ve found several others that only needed a good cleaning, and they were like new.

Many large department stores also carry marked down coaches. You will hardly ever find marked down purses at the coach store, but I’ve bought a small

signature soho bag from macy’s for $59 – almost $80 saved. gucci outlet
TJMaxx sells coach purses that come from Coach’s utlet store, and they are also up to 50% cheaper than you would pay new.
