I have the same problem. I input the number (correctly, i've checked several times) and then hit the "Call" key only to have "Incorrect Number" pop up.

If anyone has gotten this to work i'd sure like to know how.

Tried the alternative solution on this website:

http://thenokiablog.com/2009/04/08/h...transcription/

But it doesnt work. Any number that I put in as my Forwarding number was considered an "Invalid Number".

I tried all the following formats:
+1GVnumber
+GVnumber
1GVnumber
GVnumber

None worked. Any help getting google voice to work with my n900 would be great.

Does T-mobile's visual voicemail have a published API? If so, we should be able to develop an app for it and not have to use youmail or google voice.

I searched but couldn't find anything published.

If it is important 1) I phone back 2) person who phoned sends SMS 3) or that person phones back. No need for voicemail. At worst, if really necessary implement it on local level on the device, much like an answering machine.
I have to admit I was puzzled when the iPhone was touted as the best thing since sliced bread because it had visual voicemail. I thought voicemail was like fax, cool at the time but nobody uses it anymore. I have not once in my life left a voicemail message or received one but apparently it's still quite popular somewhere. Just had to let this out, please don't mind and carry on.

I put the sim back into my free Nokia dumbphone to try this, and what do you know? It refused to do it, too. Could be my plan, could be T-Mobile. I haven't tried Customer Service yet, but I would bet they can do it.

If you log into Google Voice, --> Settings --> Phone --> Activate Google voicemail on this phone.

Google gives you a detailed description of how to set it up on your phone.

I tried it again but still got "Invalid Number".

What carrier are you with? Perhaps this functionality isnt supported on Tmobile without actually calling up their tech support.

See posts 21 and 22. We've tried the standard method of activating google voice on the n900 with no success. I'm open to suggestions if anyone has any other ideas.
