| Re: Remove Google Voice - It has Hijacked My cell Phone! | SnerdlyBosco | 12/12/09 2:47 PM | FLGuy: The problem is with your cell phone, not with Google Voice. In Settings | Phones, DEACTIVATE Google Voice on this phone. If that doesn't work, check with your carrier for steps to cancel "Conditional Call Forwarding." |

| Re: Remove Google Voice - It has Hijacked My cell Phone! | FLGuy | 12/12/09 3:07 PM | For future users with this same issue, it was an issue with "CONDITIONAL CALL FORWARDING" with my carrier. When you delete a number, you better make sure that your carrier removes the conditional call forwarding on their end! I was the 1st Sprint c |

| Re: Remove Google Voice - It has Hijacked My cell Phone! | SnerdlyBosco | 3/9/10 3:57 AM | @jjcontemplation: The "hijack" comes as the result of an action you took to activate Google voicemail on your phone. To modify this behavior, you'll need to follow one of the two suggestions in the "best answer" above. |

| Re: Remove Google Voice - It has Hijacked My cell Phone! | Box7184 | 7/23/10 8:52 PM | In order for GV to do this, they would need access to your account and your carrier's servers.

| Re: Remove Google Voice - It has Hijacked My cell Phone! | valleyman | 9/10/10 12:01 PM | Google also removed the "activate/deactivate" toggle gimmick. Both instructions are now visible at all times, as GV has no way of knowing if "use GV voice mail" feature is enabled or not. |
