    Any way to switch verizon voicemail to googlevoice?

    the feature set of google voice is appealing.
    I already have my single google voice number, but I'd like to set my droid to use my google voice as my voicemail. The menu structure seems to be there to support something like this, but the only option is carrier provided VM.

    Any thoughts on this?

    Go to your Google Voicemail and setup your CELL number to have its OWN Google Voicemail. Then GV will give you instructions on how to forward calls for Verizon.

    I believe its *71(GV NUMBER) and then Send/Talk.

    **NOTE**: Forwarding to GV uses airtime minutes as the person leaves you a voicemail.

    You can do this directly from the web interface for GV.

    I believe it's on a per-line basis, and you'll want to turn off the auto-login.

    If you can't figure it out, reply and i'll walk through it. I've had this set up for a while.

    Tried searching several threads and google, but I have done the steps to activate Google Voicemail on my Droid yet it does not showing up as an option under settings on the phone. I only have "My Carrier" as an option. Does this take time to become available and activate on the phone side?

    I don't think I missed any steps, as I was pretty diligent (I hope) on searching the forums first.

    It doesnt show up as a separate option. It somehow just switches it. You should change your voicemail number to your GV number tho.

    This is awesome by the way, didn't know you could do this. Its basically free visual voicemail with transcription with the GV app.

    Adding your Google Voice number to your Friends and Family list should avoid this, right?
