Default Brand New Blaze: Google Voice Not Working - Help

I just got the Blaze 4G and when I try to choose "Google Voice" in voicemail settings, it just shows my T-mobile voicemail phone # and that's it. On my other Android phones, I would click on Google Voice in voicemail settings and that would be it.

Please help. Thanks!

Pretty sure google voice does not work with tmobile. You have to port your number to gvoice in order to get the functionality you

Log in to google voice at google.com/voice, click the little tool icon on the right side, and if you hit the edit button, it will give you a string of characters very similar to this:

##004#612-555-1234## with the number being your number of course.

You punch that in the dialer and it will change your settings automatically. Much easier than setting it manually.

BTW, tmobile prepaid is really hard to get google voice to work, I'm sure it's doable, but I've read many people say it's not possible.

I just ported my service from ATT about 2 weeks ago, and it works just fine.

Cheers!
