AT&T stopped my call forwarding when I switched phones from the Samsung Rugby to the HTC One (M7). I tried all of the different tricks here to no avail.

 

However,

 

I DID find in the SETTINGS-->CALL an option called "Call Forwarding" in which I put my google voice number and it worked.

I know this is an old thread, but wanted to pass on how this was set-up for my Wireless Home Phone, as I have not seen a conplete description of this anywhere.  

 

I had recently ported my Vonage number to the WHP...but was not satisfied with the basic vmail functionality.

 

To set Google Voice as the vmail service for the Wireless Home Phone, I had to simply do the following:

 

Note: This assumes that you only plan to use the Google Voice number for voicemail...

 

  1. Create a Google Voice Account if you do not already have one.
  2. From the WHP, dial **004*1xxxxxxxxxxx# (where the "x" represents the 10-digit US phone #)...you should get a confirmation tone.
  3. On Google Voice, in the "Settings>Calls", enable "Do Not Disturb" and uncheck the "Ends in" box.  This will assure the call goes directly to Vmail after ringing on the WHP for the set amount.  Otherwise it rings on WHP, then on Google Voice before going to vmail.
  4. Set-up your GV Voicemail options & messages as desired.

Note: I have seen in other posts that were missing a second "*" before the "004".  Exampl:e for number (212) 555-2145...the proper syntax is **004*12125552145  

 

I realize another way to do this would have been to port my old vonage # to Google Voice directly then just ring the WHP from Google Voice, but my preferred home # had just been ported to AT&T, so did not want to have to deal with chaanging the AT&T WHP number and simultaneously porting the home # to GV.

Is there a way when calling my ATT number to have my original VM play and when someone calls Google Voice number the Google VM plays?
