Not much clearer to me. I'd be interested in doing this as well. However,
perhaps you can write me off list to give me a little more explanation.

That's why I suggested that you put all your personal contacts in a group,
and have your business vm as the default one, that way when someone calls
your business, and they are not in a group, they get the business vm. As
for family and friends, you create a default vm for them, and assign it to
them, and that's what they hear when they call. Hope I explained it a
little more clear. HTH

Hi,
Hmmmm... I wonder if this would work if I made my business phone number be
a
group all it's own, since that's what I have showing up as my caller ID
when
someone calls (this way I know which business they're calling)?
I can't put all of my business contacts as a group, because I get calls
from
people who I don't yet have contact information for, ETC.
Thanks for this idea and any other help you can give, and have a great
week!
In Christ, Miranda

Your right when you say it's not possible to have 2 separate voice mails
for
2 separate numbers. But what you could do is create groups in your google
voice account, and then set up custom messages for each group. I've done
this, and it works flawlessly. So if you know who you want to be in each
group, say your family and friends, have a custom voice mail for them, and
when someone for your business calls, make that the default voice mail,
and
they will get a greeting about your business. HTH. Good luck Kliphton

Hi,
I'm not worried about the 9 rings part, as I don't have any other
phones to forward to except my cell phone. The only reason I mentioned
this in my original post is that this was a suggestion I found on some
Google support forums, and I don't agree with using it. Sorry for the
confusion!
What I am trying to do is have my calls from my Google Voice number go
to my Google Voice voicemail when unanswered, and the calls to my cell
phone (which my google voice number is forwarded to) go to my cell
phone carrier's voicemail when unanswered.
Thanks, and have a great week!
In Christ, Miranda

With Google Voice, there is no need to forward calls, ring all the
phones at once and you will avoid nine rings before voice mail starts.

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
