Replacing T-Mobile Voicemail with Google Voice?

[mnmnmn]

I have a 8900 on T-Mobile. Does anyone know the steps to be able to replace my T-Mobile voicemail with my Google Voice account?

Thanks.

i'm not sure how it is done but i have heard that it is possible. also possible to use Google voice to make calls free using my faves from t mobile.

not sure yet i am new and learning. i will follow along with you and hopefully learn something too .

I figured it out. Works great.

AT&T Cingular, T-Mobile, GSM network: *004*1[GVnumber]*11#


AT&T Cingular, T-Mobile, GSM network: ##004# to deactivate

can't you forward it the same way you would for youmail?

WAIT ... look down to see my theory..

Cool thing about this, actually-

If you use this code, and someone tries to call your regular cell phone number, they are automatically forwarded to Google Voice. I have the call screener, which comes in handy because I get a lot of solicitors (my bb is my main communication device), and when I tried to call my T-Mobile number to check voicemail, I was sent there! I can't wait to see my minutes next month, to see if I actually used any! PRETTY SWEET SETUP!

I'm a Social Worker and Google Voice is gold. The only way to do my job and shut everybody out after hours.....

mnmnmn - please be aware that it is strongly rumored that Google is going to allow number porting to Google Voice in the next few months. I really don't have a lot of specifics on this but I have read about it and talked to some Google people in the know. Apparently it's real.

The advantage of Google number porting is that your existing cell number would be ported to Google and then Google Voice would become your native system.

We all might want to keep our eyes open in the coming months for this.
