How To Replace T-Mobile Voicemail With Google Voice Visual Mail

Posted: Jul 26, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

The Google Voice application, now available at the Android Market, offers new features that make sorting through voicemail a breeze. The application works with your Google Voice number, but you might prefer replacing your T-Mobile voicemail with Google Voice.

Are you looking for an alternative to listening to your voicemails? Maybe you would appreciate the option to read your voicemail messages, either via text message or e-mail? Or, perhaps, you would like to create custom voicemail greetings, so your mom and your boss are greeted differently?

With Google Voice, whenever someone leaves you a voicemail, you receive a notification. If you do not want to listen to the voicemail, you can read it instead. Now, with Google Voice, you will be out of excuses to explain why you ignored your best friend's voicemail. You can extend these features from your Google Voice number to your cell phone once you replace your T-Mobile voice mail with Google Voice visual mail. And believe it or not, only a few simply hacking steps stand in the way of your cell phone and Google Voice visual voicemail.

First, you need to get an invitation to create a Google Voice account, as it is currently open by invitation only. While this might sound like a bit of a nuisance, it is not very difficult to get an invitation. All you have to do is go to the Google Voice homepage and request an invitation. You can be sure that Google Voice is well worth this little bit of extra effort.

Now, once you've procured an invitation, follow these easy steps to replace all voicemail with Google Voice:

  1. In your cell phone's address book, add a new contact with your mobile number. Remember to select the option to send your incoming calls straight to voicemail.
  2. Under "Call Settings," make your Google Voice number your new voicemail number. If you think you might want to go back to your T-Mobile voicemail, it is a good idea to copy your old number down for safekeeping.
  3. Make your Google Voice number your new call forwarding number.

Your T-Mobile phone will now utilize Google Voice visual voicemail. Whenever someone leaves you a voicemail, it will automatically go to Google Voice. If at some point you decide you like T-Mobile voicemail better, all you have to do is go back to your original voicemail number.
