Google Voice & Hangouts Integration
So even after all this time, all three phone on my account have not been switched over from the Google Voice app to the Hangouts app for voicemail. I have finally decided to see if anyone here knows what's up. We use GV for two things. One is calling Canada for free, my wife is Canadian and uses it to call her family. The other is voicemail. We don't hand out our GV number for calls, and still use our carrier numbers for everything. So our GV accounts all say we have a "Google voicemail access number" and not a "Google Voice number." Could this be the source of our problem? I could sign up for an actual GV number, but I don't want to change around the way our phones work. I would think if all I'm looking to do is have voicemails in Hangouts, I would be able to with a voicemail only account. But the option doesn't even exist in the Hangouts app on our phones.
