This makes it so only my sip phone rings when I am at home, and my cell phone rings elsewhere (and has the added bonus of saving power when I am at home). Does anyone know how to disable an account using a command?
I'm interested in your script. It sounds like it would suit my needs.

I've done some more work on this. I changed my voicemail timeout to 30 seconds, and that didn't work. I then called up T-Mobile Customer Care and had them disable my voicemail. That didn't work. Once I turn my phone off it goes straight to voicemail. I think that's what's happening. It's exactly what happens when I press "ignore." I put the SIM card in my spare phone and that's exactly what happened. When I press Ignore, it goes to voicemail, answering T-Mobile and hanging up my SIP numbers.

Users, do you have the "press 1 to accept the call" option enabled? If so then it sounds like Tmobile is up to something funny not your phone. If not, try and enable that option so that it will not give the voicemail priority unless 1 is being pressed. You should always get your google voice voicemail.

OK, I called T-Mobile Customer Care again. I told the guy that I wanted my voicemail deactivated to the point that if I hit Reject on my handset, the phone would keep ringing. It took us A LONG TIME, and it took him a lot of tries, but to his credit he didn't give up. He did say that part of the problem was that I was on prepaid, because for some reason the voicemail is different. I didn't ask him to elaborate.

Anyway, he finally did something magical that made it so when he called me (we tested this while I was on my cheapo handset) and I pressed Reject, it kept ringing on his end. It finally seemed to work.

So I popped the SIM back into my wondrous N900 and tested it various times. I tried with my landline about 6 times. I tried it from my wife's cell once. It worked every time.

Someone else test this please. I'll have my brother and some buddies call me and I'll let y'all know what happens.

Do both calls (sip and gsm) ring simultaneously for you now, or does just one come through?

They both ring but only SIP answers. At least I'm pretty sure that's what happens. SIP rings first then when I answer, missed call shows up as cell missed call.

Question, to all. On your phone do you have your GV # as the voicemail #? The only time my TMO voicemail picks up is if I am out of area? which is never! You might look at your conditional voicemail settings. I don't forward any of my SIP accounts to GV, so I might be off base. There should be 3 conditions for your voicemail i have the 1st two go to GV and the last go to TMO.

Do you happen to know who you spoke to at t-mobile?

I ended up enabling pressing 1 to pickup the call, and this appears to have fixed the issue for me (even though this is a little bit annoying to have to do). My sip account picks it up first, and the cell phone call shows up as a missed call.

I just used the web chat to talk to someone at t-mobile. They disabled my voicemail in such a way that if I reject the call, or miss the call, it just gives a busy signal instead of going to voicemail. I tried this with google voice, and it works perfectly.

I asked how other people can reference this, and she said that she just turned off unconditional call forwarding. I hope this helps some other people.
