Your Google voice settings on the Google voice website
You have converted your Sprint number to a Google Voice number. There are pros and cons to this. What you are hearing is the call screening option. To turn off call screening, go to [desktop] https://www.google.com/voice?ui=desktop#callsettings or [mobile] https://www.google.com/voice/m/generalsettings .

Searched and had no luck
Does anyone know how to setup google voice to work with your ATT # not just your google voice #
Did you try installing the Voice app to your phone?
Upon initial launch of the app, the user is walked through the setup, including whether or not you want to use Google Voice to make/receive calls and if you want to use it for your voicemail. It even takes you to the screen on your phone to change the preference from carrier to Google Voice and provides you with the number to use.
How to you reduce the number of rings before going to Voice's voicemail?

Visual Voicemail works by forwarding calls from your phone to your GV number. There is no other option. The forwarding settings are on your phone - so your phone knows to forward calls if you don't answer, the phone is off, or you push reject button.
Install GV on your phone
Login to your GV account with GV phone app
I have not had any luck getting the app to configure my phone, so i go to the settings page of GV in my desktop browser, set up my mobile there - it gives you the dial code to put in your phone to configure forwarding.

It is a carrier setting, I can't remember if you have to call or if you can change this from your phone - i think you have to go to AT&T online or on the phone and have them change it.

Google Voice voice mail does not require a GV number. You only need GV number if you want to use the free SMS feature of GV.
The first time you install and launch GV app on your phone, it will walk you through the steps to set up the proper voice mail settings on your phone. I remember I have to punch in some numbers manually by the prompt of GV.
The free SMS texting saves me $$ but you need to be aware of the fact that GV SMS does not support short codes. So it won't work if you want to vote on American Idol etc.
Also, you have to go into google voice on your computer and there's a number you have to dial on your phone to tell your carrier to forward unanswered calls to google's service. I forget where it's located on the google voice website.
You can dial that number and enter the codes and it will use google voice for voice mail even if you have or have not installed google voice app on the phone.
Call customer service? Go to the ATT website? What? You don't have to do any of that junk.
It couldn't be simpler. Go to the following website:
https://www.google.com/voice
You have to click on "Activate Voicemail" in settings. It tells you what to do.
Install the app on your phone. Follow the instructions.
Choose "Don't Make Calls Using Google Voice" and you can continue using your ATT number.

You didn't read the question that was being answered. Another poster asked how to get VM to pickup with less rings - the answer is NOT google.

Signing up for GV gives you a GV number even if you never use it. All those numbers you punched in - they were forwarding your calls to your GV number and the only thing the GV number does is answer and record voicemail.
If you go to your phone settings (on your phone) you will see that unanswered calls and rejected calls are forwarded to a phone number - that is your GV number.
More than one person asked how to set up Visual Voicemail, or expressed their inability to get it working.
No one posted clear instructions on how to set it up.
So I did.
Please don't tell me what I did and didn't read. Thanks.

I and others told him to call customer service or go to AT&T website....

As you can see (maybe not) references to AT&T and customer service had nothing to do with setting up Google voice - no one ever said they did. But your response connects the two together.
So if you had read the original question from Joe K. you would realize that no one was telling anyone to call or go to AT&T to set up Google Voice.
I agree it has little to do with the original question.

1. On your phone, dial *#61# and click Send.
2. Some information should be displayed: number that the calls are being forwarded to and the delay before the forwarding engages.
3. Write down the number (including +1)
4. Dial **61*+1xxxyyyzzzz*11*30# and hit Send. +1xxxyyyzzzz is the number you wrote down previously, 30 is the delay in seconds. The delay can be set in 5 second increments, 30 is maximum
5. Dial *#61# to verify that the new settings are active.
Thanks guys sometimes i'm an idiot.
Ns4g users,
When you get voicemail or incoming call, do you get this prompt saying "to accept press 1, to send a voicemail to the sender press 2." Something like that.
If so, is there a way to turn it off or it can't? because its really bothering me. Haha.
Thanks friends.

You need to go to google voice settings and change call screening to off under the CALLS tab. You need to do this from www.google.com/voice

When I receive a call, it rings for about half a second and I can't answer it. It goes to my GV voicemail. I can't answer the call.
I thought, man if GV is this buggy I'm going to just use the T-Mo voicemail service. So in Call Settings I switched back to my carrier. But still, when I call my phone, it rings for half a second, then goes to GV voicemail. WTF.
So I went to GV settings and found my forwarding phone in the Phones tab and I clicked on "Deactivate GV on my phone." It said I had to go to my phone and type ##004#. So I did that and nothing happened. Still same problems.
This is really annoying because a) I can't answer my calls, b) I don't get any missed call notifications.
Can anyone help me?

I turned off call screening and I get my calls now. But my missed call notifications are coming from Google Voice. WTF.
Also I have my voicemail set back to My Carrier still and if I call myself I get GV Voicemail.
Shot in the dark..but do you have "Do not disturb" enabled in the Google Voice app or on the website? If so, disable it.

Nope. I turned off Call Screening and I finally started getting calls. BUT WHY CANT I DISABLE GOOGLE VOICE COMPLETELY!?!?!?
Have you tried logging in Google vice on computer and change settings to dis associate the number sign to that particular email account
Yeah, dude. It's in the OP.

So let's say I have a GV number and a mobile number. And I turn on Call Screening. Why would it screen calls to my mobile number???

Even if I had DND enabled.... Why would it block calls TO MY MOBILE NUMBER?
All I want GV to do with my mobile number is forward calls from my GV number.
Easy answer. Your sprint number takes over your google voice number.

Well that would make more sense if I wasn't on T-Mobile!
Have you tried to change your settings via the web. Going to your Google voice account and change your voicemail options. Although it sounds like you need to change your cm forwarding on your phone. Go to T-Mobiles site for instructions or call T-Mobile.

Bone stock My Touch 4g.
My issue is, when i call my google voice number, I am use to it asking for my PIN etc.
Well, when I call my GV number, it just rings and goes to voicemail like someone is just calling me. I have activated google voice on google.com/voice and my settings on my phone say google voice. What am I missing here?
Thank you in advance. (I did search found nothing)
Are you calling from a number that is 1) not blocked on caller id and 2) listed as one of your numbers in Google voice?
You may have to set it up to use Google voice to call your Google voice number in the app settings.

I just tried mine, it goes to my message if I dial it to listen to my voicemail. Press * during the recording, then it will prompt you for your pin.

As long as I am not the only one with this issue, I am fine with that.
It's just weird, my sprint EVO 4G and my new SGII both work like I mentioned above. I call my GV number and it instantly prompts me for my Pin. Weird that the My Touch does not do that.
Thanks for your help dclaw.

Yes everyone has, please use the search.
You have to do it manually using the keypad to enter in the code. There are instructions on the google voice site.
Your phone will still say it's using the carrier provider for voicemail but if you call your phone Google Voice should pick up.

"Voicemail Settings" in the menu just refer to which service your phone will dial when you call voicemail, like when pressing and holding #1. For your incoming calls to be routed to your Google Voice, you need to look in "Call Forwarding", that's where it needs to be correct. Just using the *004*yourgooglevoicenumber# code will change your call forwarding settings.
