Google Voice provides a wide variety of functions to users, but many people aren't looking to take advantage of all the features Google Voice affords.
Even if simultaneous ringing and free SMS don't appeal to you, Google Voice can still be used as a great replacement for your carrier's standard voicemail system. What's more, Google Voice offers a free voicemail transcription service that uses voice-to-text to transcribe messages. Voicemail transcriptions can then be delivered to you via email or SMS.
In this guide, we show you how to set up Google Voice voicemail on your HTC Aria and configure the attached voicemail transcription service.
Activate Google Voice voicemail on your HTC Aria
Log in to the Google Voice website and click Settings in the top right corner
Locate the phone you wish to activate voicemail for and click Activate Google voicemail on this phone
On your HTC Aria, dial *004*xxx-xxx-xxxx# (where xxx-xxx-xxxx is your Google Voice phone number) and press Call
A forwarding confirmation will be displayed on your screen
On the Google Voice website, click Done
Configure voicemail transcriptions and delivery
Log in to the Google Voice website and click Settings in the top right corner
Click on the Voicemail & SMS tab
Next to "Voicemail Notifications", check the box next to Email the message to and select an email address to receive your voicemail transcriptions via email
Beneath "Send a text (SMS) message to", check the box next to each cell phone on which you want to receive SMS voicemail transcriptions
Next to Voicemail Transcripts, check the box next to Transcribe Voicemails
Click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the screen
That's it! Google Voice will now replace your AT&T voicemail, and it will deliver transcriptions of each message via email or SMS.
If at any point you wish to deactivate Google Voice voicemail, simply dial #002# on your HTC Aria and press Call. This will deactivate all call forwarding and the HTC Aria will use the standard voicemail system once again.
I was so confused about what to buy, but this makes it understandable.
