Google Voice Mail and VM Intercept

[fdossantos]

Hello all,

Wondering if there is a way to have Google Voice handle my Virgin Mobile Intercept's voicemail, rather that VM? I've been a GV user since the grand central days and I am sorely disappointed that VM doesn't support call forwarding to Google Voicemail. (Seems to be a prepaid carrier thing.)

You should be able to input a dial code that will forward calls to your GV number instead of the voice mail box from your carrier.
CAUTION: VM may charge an extra fee per minute for calls that are forwarded. Sprint used to charge this (up to about a year ago), but dropped it only when used to push to a 3rd party voice mail system.
You'll probably need to call VMs customer support line to find out for sure, as well as find out what code to put in to change the forwarding settings.
