Yes, please do, if it isn't any trouble.

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.

particular link is not to be found using speech?

Hi there. If you're interested perhaps we can connect on Skype on the
computer, and I can help you walk through this. Perhaps it would help. In
any case, you can write me off list to pursue this further if you're
interested. Also, the Skype ID I use for the computer is raul_gallegos.

Yeah, I have looked around there and once I choose settings, I can't do
much else. I usually have to get sighted assistance. Thanks though, I
will see if I can get that working again.

Go to http://voice.google.com and sign in. Then choose settings. There
are different categories and one of them is calls. You can turn it on or
off from there. The website can be a bit tricky to use if you are not
used to it, I can easily do it using Window Eyes, so I imagine other
screen readers should work if you use another one.

How do I enable it? I had it when I first set up the OBi100, but all
that happens now is that caller's are asked to state their name, but it
doesn't tell me anything when I answer a call.

Hi there. That is the call monitoring feature. It is enabled by default,
but depending on your situation some people turn it off. For example,
the Google voice number that I use as a home phone has that feature
turned off. This way when people call the house, the phones ringing like
normal and people answer like normal. When this feature is enabled,
people who are not in your Google contact list will be prompted to speak
their name. When your phone rings, you will then be given the chance to
take the call by pressing one, or sending the call to Boyceville by
pressing too. Some people find this okay while others do not like it.

Do you have it to where when you answer a call it will tell you who is
calling and then you can hit buttons to either reject call, send the
call to voice mail, answer the call, etc?? I am asking this because
people tell me that they are asked for their name and then it will
attempt to connect them, but when I answer, it never tells me who is
calling. I am guessing I have something configure incorrectly but I
can't figure out what. Any ideas?

Another feature I like about Google voice is that it will perform voice
recognition on any messages left in your voice mail and send you a text
or email with the transcription in it. It isn't perfect, but it's a
quick way to let you know if you need to worry about the message or
not.
As others have mentioned, when someone calls my Google Voice number, my
cell phone, land line and office phones will all ring. I can decide
which phone I want to use to take the call.
I don't use these features myself, but you can decide if you'll answer
a
call or send it to voice mail. You can even listen to someone leaving
the voice mail and decide to pick it up. You can also pick up the call
on one phone, say your land line phone, and then pick it up on your
cell
phone as well, such as if you're going out the door during the call.

Hello there. You will probably get other answers and so far I have
read two other messages on this. It is not exactly a VoIP number,
instead it is a virtual number. This means that for the most part if
you have it forwarding to your cell phone number, when you make and
receive calls to or from your Google voice number it will still use
your cell phone minutes. You can of course use apps like talkatone to
make data voice calls. One advantage of Google voice is that if you
use it to text message, the messages are On the Google voice website
and are virtually stored forever. Or at least as long as you want them
to. In any case, a lot longer and easier to manage than the messages
app on the phone. Another advantage is that if you get an incoming
call through your Google voice number, you can record the phone call.
This will play a message that all parties will here so they know they
are being recorded. This comes in handy and of course you can later
retrieve it from the Google voice web
site. There are many more advantages and I could go on forever and ever
since I am a huge fan of Google voice. However I will mention one last
advantage and say no more unless others are interested. I have an
ObiTalk Phone bridge adapter. With this adapter I can make it so it
uses Google voice as it's line. That means that my home phone is
actually a Google voice number and I don't have to pay for home phone
service. As long as I have this adapter connected to the Internet and
configured, then I get free phone service.
