Google Voice for dummies... VZW VM

[Ed Witles]

Gang -

I am running a GB leaked rom and do not get VZW voice mail notifications. Not VVM, but just the lil indicator stating you have a VM waiting. Something even the most simple of phones have.

Here is my dilemma...

My cell has a 410 # assigned to it. I just keep its VM as is (mobile messenger).

I have a GV # that is my work # (formally a VZW but had ported to GV). That is forwarded to the 410 #.

At least, if I miss a GV #, it shows up in my logs.

Now, the $1,000,000 question... until the rom gets fixed, what is the best course of action so I can get my messages and notifications if missed?

Thanks!

I would use gvoice as your VM and set it up to send you either an email or text when you have a new VM

Can you set your own personal message with google voice?

Just use it as your Voice mail only. You will just get vm notifications in the task bar. I wouldn't use voice for calling unless you really need it. There are no notification issues with google voice.

Ok, so I should allow GV assume VZW's VM role?

How would I do that?

Yup that's what you do. I can't remember the exact steps to do so but it does guide you through it when setting it up.

Its a known bug with custom Gingerbread ROMs... there's no fix at the moment besides rebooting the phone everytime to check for messages (which would be ridiculous). Try using Google Voicemail as suggested.
