Alert before answering a phone call ?

[brettj]

I seem to be having an odd issue. I have Sprint Optimus S and suddenly this morning before being able to answer a phone call I get a prompt with a womans voice asking me to push 1 to answer the call, or push 2 to send the call to voicemail. This has never happened before and I have looked throughout the phone and the forums here and still can't figure out what is going on.
If anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated.

You've activated Google Voice somehow. I have it enabled on my Epic 4g as well. By allowing the brief pause to select 1 or 2 it's kinda acting like call screening. You would have to sign into your Google account and go to Google voice settings to disable it. You can do this from your phone. I hope I've helped.

That is terrific thank you so much for the quick reply.

Well I found the settings, disabled the call screen, but now when I call my cell it says that the google voice subscriber is not avail. Is there some setting where I can turn off google voice or disable it altogether and go back to sprint service, and voicemail?

Well forget that l last post when I went to the google voice desktop site I was able to disable my sprint phone from google voice.

Thanks again for the help

I personally love the Voice integration. It'll store your voicemail and sms on Google and adds neat features. Like the call screening (I don't use it either but still) can have anonymous callers state their name to be screened. It'll automatically send spam callers to a spam box where it won't even show on your phone. It also lets you record calls by pressing 4 at any time during a call.

I'm glad that you got everything worked out. I wasn't thinking about disabling it from Google's site,it didn't cross my mind last night. And you are welcome.
