Phone makes me dial 1 before answering

[eweezzyyyy]

When my phone rings I have to press the number 1 first before I can answer the phone. I went through all of my settings and can't figure out what I did. Does anybody have an idea of what I did?

it's Google Voice. Go into your settings on their website (google.com/voice) and go into settings (the gear in the upper right hand corner) and then go to the "calls" tab and turn off "call screening". I'm pretty sure that should fix it, either way, I know it's one of those options.

Thanks! This was driving me crazy

When I receive a call on my Samsung Galaxy III I am forced to type "1". I looked this up on line and it says to go to google.com/voice, go into settings, then go to the "calls" tab to turn off call screening. The problem is that there is no "calls" tab. All I see is "billing", "account" , and "voice messages". There's nothing labeled "calls" that I can click to turn call screening off. Any suggestions?

It's Under "settings" that you'll find the "calls" tab. Are you signed into the correct google account?

Its because of the Google voice. Its very simple to disable. Go to web browser and look up Google voice and go to......ill post link

Go to google.com/voice and sign in. Go to Settings, than the "calls" tab. The link gets moved every so often, but logging in will always get you where you need to be.

ratsttam,

Here's a screen shot of my settings page (accessed by dropdown from the "gear" at the upper right of the prior screen); I see no "calls" tab.

That's a screenshot from a "voicemail" only one. You won't see the calls tab (and several other tabs) unless you have a google voicemail (and more options if you have it linked like I'm sure you do) number. Do you happen to have another gmail account that your phone number may be linked to? I ask because there is no call screening on the VM only...

Ratsttam,

You got it; that was the problem. Thanx very much.

That's all well and good but I don't have Google Voice installed on my phone! How about any suggestions now?

 

[ratsttam]

It doesn't have to be installed if you integrated your sprint number into google voice. It would even work if you were using a 10yr old dumb phone. Go on a computer to google.com/voice and head into the settings. Im sure youll see your number with the sprint logo next to it. If you disconnect it, it will leave your number on your phone and let you get a new number for google voice, or let your voice account be voicemail box, or even dormant if you don't plan on using it .

Thanks a lot I had the same problem and it immediately got it fixed by following your suggested procedure.
I don't know why Google Voice has a default setting like that, it's dumb and I think that Google needs to terminate this service or have it function as good as it used to in the past.
