How to Switch to Google Voicemail on the HTC G2

Instead of using your carrier's voicemail system, the T-Mobile G2 allows you to use Google Voice mail. Google Voice mail saves the messages as a digital audio file, which you can transcribe to text in an SMS or forward to your phone through email. You can also download the files to your computer. You must switch the voicemail forwarding on your G2 from the standard voicemail to Google Voice mail.

Instructions

1. Open the Google Voice Web page in a Web browser.

2. Open the "Settings" icon in the top right of the screen.

3. Click the "Activate Google voicemail on this phone" link for your G2's phone number.

4. Open the dialer screen on the G2 and dial "*004*" followed by your phone number and a "#" sign. So if your number is 324-786-3287, dial "*004*3247863287#" on the keypad.

5. Touch "Call" and the computer will display a confirmation message. Press "Done" to accept the changes.

Tips & Warnings

• If you want to turn off Google Voice mail, dial "*004*" and press "Call."
