Setting Up Google Voice Voicemail on the iPhone 4


Activate Google Voice voicemail on your iPhone 4
  1. Log in to the Google Voice website and click Settings in the top right corner
  2. Locate the phone you wish to activate voicemail for and click Activate Google voicemail on this phone
  3. On your iPhone 3GS, dial *004*xxx-xxx-xxxx# (where xxx-xxx-xxxx is your Google Voice phone number) and press Call
  4. A forwarding confirmation will be displayed on your screen
  5. On the Google Voice website, click Done
Configure voicemail transcriptions and delivery
  1. Log in to the Google Voice website and click Settings in the top right corner
  2. Click on the Voicemail & SMS tab
  3. Next to "Voicemail Notifications", check the box next to Email the message to and select an email address to receive your voicemail transcriptions via email
  4. Beneath "Send a text (SMS) message to", check the box next to each cell phone on which you want to receive SMS voicemail transcriptions
  5. Next to Voicemail Transcripts, check the box next to Transcribe Voicemails
  6. Click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the screen

That's it! Google Voice will now replace your AT&T voicemail, and it will deliver transcriptions of each message via email or SMS.

If at any point you wish to deactivate Google Voice voicemail, simply dial #002# on your iPhone 3GS and press Call. This will deactivate all call forwarding and the iPhone 4 will use the standard AT&T voicemail system once again.
