| Google can not cancel my google voice number; I want out! | DumpGoogleVoice | 3/1/12 4:28 AM | I set up a google voice number to accommodate a job that I had. I no longer need the number and I would like to have my phones acting "normal" again without any forwarding or any association with Google Voice. Google voice was fine for that one job |
| Re: Google can not cancel my google voice number; I want out! | SnerdlyBosco | 3/1/12 5:40 AM | At present, no way to cancel. But you can disable: In GV website | Settings (under the gear icon) | Phones, click the link that says "Deactivate Google voicemail on this phone" and follow directions In GV website | Settings | Phones, delete all |
| Re: Google can not cancel my google voice number; I want out! | DumpGoogleVoice | 3/1/12 10:15 AM | Yes, but you are missing my point. I want to purge the number from my account. I don't want it anymore. Google doesn't allow or can't handle that request. I do not want a Google Voice number associated with my account. No company should have a |
| Re: Google can not cancel my google voice number; I want out! | SnerdlyBosco | 3/1/12 11:46 AM | Understood your point perfectly. Wanted to point out that, at present, what you want can't be done. Wanted you to know how you can render the number inactive as you await a change. |
| Re: Google can not cancel my google voice number; I want out! | Cathryne | 3/3/12 4:51 AM | Thank you but I have followed these steps and am still getting voicemail only through Google Voice which is just so awfully dreadful. I agree that it is utterly incredible to have tried a service from which I cannot escape. What kind of business pl |
| Re: Google can not cancel my google voice number; I want out! | SnerdlyBosco | 3/3/12 5:19 AM | Cathryne By what means are you still receiving Google Voice voicemail? Calls to your Google Voice number? Calls to your mobile number? |
| Re: Google can not cancel my google voice number; I want out! | DCVAgrl | 3/3/12 10:31 AM | I'm having the same problem as Cathryne. I deleted the GV app from my iPhone, went into my GV account on my computer and first clicked deactivate google voice mail on this phone. When that didn't work I deleted my iPhone from the account altogether ( |

| Re: Google can not cancel my google voice number; I want out! | DCVAgrl | 3/3/12 11:06 AM | Thank you!!! That worked. I actually had to add my number back to the account and re-activate Google voice mail on the phone first. Then I was able to choose the deactivate link, and it gave me the code to enter from my phone to deactivate. For some |
| Re: Google can not cancel my google voice number; I want out! | DumpGoogleVoice | 3/5/12 10:24 AM | I also had to add back phones to deactivate them. Google Voice is a major disappointment. It needs to be fixed before it can actually be useful. It is insane that you have to add back a deleted phone in order to deactivate it. It is equally insa |

| Re: Google can not cancel my google voice number; I want out! | HeyDJ | 3/17/12 3:00 PM | You're reading far too much into this. If you had deactivated google voicemail on your phone at step 1, you would have gotten exactly what you wanted.But to your point, deleting a phone from your google voice setup should also deactivate google voice |

| Re: Google can not cancel my google voice number; I want out! | HeyDJ | 3/17/12 5:00 PM | Yes, you are right. I was completely off. Especially silly considering I know how the voicemail forwarding works. Thanks. |

| Re: Google can not cancel my google voice number; I want out! | Rico220 | 5/10/12 6:02 AM | I went to http://voice.google.com and clicked on the deactivate link. It told me to dial ##004# on my phone. I did that and got the confirmation. However, all calls are still going to GV. My carrier's support (T-Mobile) told me how to cancel call forwarding |
