@ryan

I just disabled and re-enabled mine without any problems. Which model iPhone are using, what version of software, and what provider?

unlike other users above, i cannot set google voice to Do Not Disturb. I accept incoming calls through google voice which end up being forwarded to my iPhone and Skype.

What happens when I put in the above code is:

1) Person calls iPhone
2) iPhone forwards to Google Voice after default # of rings
3) Google Voice forwards to iPhone and Skype,
4) Google Voicemail answers
5) iPhone visual voicemail no longer works

I can’t have callers hearing 2 different rings for ~60 seconds just to have all my voicemail go to a single repository.

Hopefully Google will enhance this feature even more.

I found that there’s no need to turn on “do not disturb” mode. I have my voicemails forwarded to GV so if somebody rings my iPhone number, after 20 seconds GV will try to ring my iPhone… Here’s the cool part: My phone still reports me as “busy” on the line with the original call and the GV call is forwarded immediately (ok, after one ring) to voicemail. Seamless integration, even if by accident.

This is preferable if, like me, you want to take calls through GV but also have your iPhone voicemails forwarded to GV.

I just found this out. Setup a new contact within GVoice with your cell/home/or whatever number you have forwarded. Go into the edit screen and uncheck all the ring to numbers. See this picture for an example:

Very Helpful -

I was wondering if anyone was able to get the move advanced option cutting down the ring time of ‘no answer’ to work -

*61*[dest]*[sec]#

Supposedly one can also define how many seconds before forwarding 0-30 sec, if nothing is entered, it will default to 30.

I was not able to get AT&T to allow me to enter anything – just wondering

Just found this – very helpful, thanks! I experimented, but decided to turn it off again because I don’t want all my GV calls going straight to voicemail. If only it could be done selectively for forwarded calls… does anyone know if this is possible?

Anyhow, one potential thing to watch out for – if you enable and then re-disable the call forwarding codes as I did, your voicemail greeting will revert to the generic “Number 123-456-7890 is not available”. I tried to re-activate my prior custom greeting from the phone, but the only way to do so is to re-record a new one. Not the worst thing in the world, but kind of dumb.

Try two commas between the main number and extension
