Hi, I have an iPhone 3GS running IOS5.1, and I have a Google voice question.
This isn't app specific, rather it's service related. I own 2 businesses, and my cell phone number directs customers to one of my businesses. Currently, I use another phone for my second business, but I'd like to save $15-$20/month on my phone bill and combine these 2 businesses on one phone by using Google voice for the second business number/voicemail. Everything works great except the voicemail. If I have my carrier's conditional call forwarding turned off, all calls (including calls to my Google voice number) are routed to my carrier's voicemail. However, if I have my carrier's conditional call forwarding turned on, all calls (including calls to my cell phone) are routed to my Google voicemail. I have deactivated Google voicemail on my cell phone, as this was recommended in many Google support forums I researched in the past week or so. I'm to the point of thinking that having 2 voicemails simply isn't possible, because the phone can't distinguish the separate voicemail services attempting to be used on one phone at the same time. I know I could possibly set my Google voice number to ring "my other phones" before sending unanswered calls to my Google voicemail, but that would make customers sit on the phone through 9 or so rings and no one in their right mind would wait that long. I did discover that our cell phone carrier has a virtual receptionist service, but that is twice the price of what I'm currently paying for the second business phone and I'm trying to save money not spend more. LOL. Thanks in advance for any thoughts or advice, and have a great week! In Christ, Miranda --
