also, when others call me, unless i have the settings online to forward the call to my cell, instead of just ringing my phone through the data connection directly to my google number, it goes straigt to google voicemail.
Google Voice is just a forwarding service. You still need something else accessible through POTS. If you have a Skype call-in number then you can configure GV to call that. Otherwise I use the sipgate which offers a phone number for SIP. Either way allows you to use GV with a data plan.

am i doing something wrong?
I'm not too sure if you are doing something wrong. Maybe a screenshot (with numbers blocked out)?
