I have TMobile prepaid and get a network error trying to do this. I also put the SIM in a basic phone and get the same error.

BTW, does anyway know if this “conditional” forwarding is different from regular minutes? Regular forwarding consumes minutes, what about this?

nice. Just got my google voice. It’s so much better than sprint, wish there was a way to swap voicemails and just kill my sprint one.

@Joe I agree – it does have some quirks to work out but it is a way to get it working, at least until there is a better way to do it.

The only problem is that even when Do Not Disturb is enabled it still rings 4 times when the call goes to GVoice

This is great, except that now you can’t use your google voice number the way it was intended to be used! An ideal solution would let calls from your old number go to Google Voice’s voicemail, but allow calls to the Google Voice number to come to your phone first. I don’t suppose this is currently possible?

Great idea! I’m thinking about taking the Google Voice jump, especially for new business contacts, but was worried about attempting to get all of my friends to start calling my new number. The last thing I wanted was voicemails in TWO places.. This’ll be a great way to test the waters before taking the plunge.

Thanks for the tips!
