Hi. It's accessible but kind of odd to reach. With window eyes I go out of browse mode and tab several times past the inbox. There is a pulldown menu which when selected will give me the choice of settings. I press enter on settings and the page reloads with the settings section. In the settings section there are various tabs like phone, voice mail and text, account settings, and widgets. The phone section is where you choose what phones you want to add to your number for the instant call forwarding. I believe this is also the section where you can edit the type of phones that you add. The next tab for calls is where you can choose to have the call filtering on or off. In order to use Google voice as a land line with a phone bridge, it is recommended that you have this feature turned off. Speaking of a phone bridge, in order to use it successfully, you don't actually forward your Google voice number to a real phone number. Instead you have the Google talk choice enabled. It is the Google talk feature which does the actual routing to your phone bridge. I am willing to do a podcast on this if it will help some.
