1
Open Google Voice.
The Welcome screen opens, where you start the process of configuring Google Voice on your phone. The options that the wizard offers you depend on whether you already have a Google Voice account and on the features supported by your mobile carrier.
2
Sign into Google Voice.
The account you sign into is the Google Account whose Inbox you open to read messages. It’s also the Google Account that you use for any other Google Voice services that you decide to use with your phone.
Touch Sign in to sign into the primary Google Account on your phone. Or touch Use a different account to sign in using a different Google Account.
3
If requested, touch Next to verify your phone number via SMS.
Google Voice uses this step to ensure that it can communicate with your phone.
4
Enter a voicemail PIN.
This is the code you use to check your voicemail from the Phone application.
5
Choose which calls you want to make using Google Voice.
You can choose to make all international calls via Google Voice, to take advantage of Google Voice’s low international calling rates; to be prompted each time you make a call; or to never use Google Voice for calls.
If you signed into a Google Account that has a Google Voice number, you can also choose to make all calls via Google Voice. If you do, the people you call will see your Google Voice number as your Caller ID, instead of your phone number.
6
Configure your voicemail service.
The Google Voice application opens the Settings application, which prompts you to select Google Voice or your mobile carrier for your voicemail service.
7
Press Back when you’re done configuring voicemail.
8
Touch Finish in the screen that describes Inbox synchronization.
