(not archive them)\" width=\"1200\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Sadly, there isn\u2019t a way to delete Google Voice voicemail from your computer. The only option is to erase all your messages on the website, but you can do both at once by following these steps:<\/p>\n<p>Go to voice.google.com Click the three-dot menu next to your number in the upper right corner Select \u201cSettings\u201d Under \u201cVoicemail &amp; Text Forwarding,\u201d click Deactivate under Voicemail Click Delete All Google voicemails at the bottom of the page Enter your phone number and password, then click Finish<\/p>\n<h2>My number was deactivated by mistake. How do I reactivate it?<\/h2>\n<p>That\u2019s unfortunate. You can\u2019t change your Google Voice number without paying for a new one, but there is an easy way to get your old digits back. Just tell everyone the new number and wait a few days for them to catch up. Once you\u2019re sure no one has the wrong number anymore, follow these instructions:<\/p>\n<p>Go to voice.google.com Click the three-dot menu next to your number in the upper right corner Select \u201cSettings\u201d Under \u201cVoicemail &amp; Text Forwarding,\u201d click Reactivate under Voicemail Enter your phone number and password, then click Finish<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"675\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/q7U6Ngr_Uv0?feature=oembed\" title=\"Setting Your Google Voice Voicemail\" width=\"1200\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h2>I changed my mind about Google Voice voicemail. Can I cancel my subscription?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, you can stop paying for Google Voice voicemail at any time by going to your account page and clicking Cancel Subscriptions. You might be asked why you\u2019re unsubscribing, but just enter \u201cI decided not to use Voicemail\u201d as your reason and the service will be canceled immediately.<\/p>\n<h2>Has my voicemail been erased?<\/h2>\n<p>If you deactivated your Google Voice number by mistake, followed these steps to reactivate it, and then deleted all of your messages on the website as explained above, then yes, your voicemail has been erased and can no longer be retrieved. Your old number will be moved to trash where it\u2019s stored for 30 days in case someone tries to call you again. After that point, you won\u2019t have access to them ever again unless someone manually puts them back into a mailbox for you.<\/p>\n<h2>Can I port my Google Voice number to another carrier?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, but only with the permission of the person who currently owns it (the person listed under \u201cAccount Owner\u201d) when you buy a new phone. To get started, visit the Google Voice porting page and complete the form. You\u2019ll have to validate your number by sending a PIN code to your Google Voice number before it can be moved over, so make sure you\u2019re ready to do that before you start the process.<\/p>\n<h2>I ported my Google Voice number to another carrier but still want voicemail from it. How can I keep getting alerts when people call me?<\/h2>\n<p>First of all, thank you for being loyal! While it isn\u2019t possible for everyone, there are certain times where we can provide ongoing notification on numbers that have been recently ported away from us (we\u2019ve begun doing this with Line2 users). If you\u2019d like to find out if this applies to you, please fill out this form.<\/p>\n<h2>I ported my Google Voice number away from Google but still want voicemail from it. How can I keep getting alerts when people call me?<\/h2>\n<p>If you left us for another carrier and didn\u2019t port your number over, the answer is easy: just sign up for a new account with Google Voice! It\u2019ll be faster than trying to go back to the old one (port information typically takes 1-2 weeks to process, which could mean missing a lot of voicemails). You can learn more about how this works here.<\/p>\n<h2>How do I forward my computer\u2019s line out through an app like Skype or Ooma onto my cell phone?<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019re working on making this possible, but there\u2019s a simple workaround for now: Forward your Gmail account to your cell number. Since Google Voice messages can be read by email anyway, after you\u2019ve forwarded the account they\u2019ll be sent directly to both places.<\/p>\n<h2>I call my voicemail all the time and I don\u2019t want it used up by a bunch of other people who are just checking their messages. Can you make this stop?<\/h2>\n<p>Great news! You can set your own personal PIN code that will allow you into your mailbox even if someone has left Gmail voicemails without signing into their own accounts. Just log in to google.com\/voice and click on \u201cSettings\u201d near the top of the screen, then scroll down until you see \u201cAdvanced Settings.\u201d Select \u201cPersonal Access\u201d from the drop-down menu and check the box next to \u201cHave a personal pin?\u201d Then, enter your own 4 digit PIN code in the field below. If you chose one that\u2019s easy to remember, enter it again in the field on the right (for safety). Now no one will be able to leave messages for others without having signed into their account first.<\/p>\n<p>This only applies to newly-arrived voicemail though; if someone has already left a message before setting up this PIN it will still play normally through your own Google Voice mailbox. This is by design; we didn\u2019t want this feature to prohibit any of our users from listening to their own voicemails or messages from other people who had access to their accounts.<\/p>\n<h2>I want voicemail notifications on my cell phone but not in Gmail. Is that possible?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, you can leave a voicemail notification in your cell\u2019s inbox without it showing up as an email message for others. If you\u2019d like this option, log into google.com\/voice and go to the \u201cSettings\u201d page then choose the tab marked \u201cCall Settings.\u201d Scroll down until you see the field labeled \u201cIncoming call options\u201d and turn on the checkbox next to \u201cDo not disturb.\u201d This setting prevents anyone from being able to send a message via email even if they know your password; only voicemails that are left while you\u2019re signed out of Gmail will be sent there (and, even then, only if you have \u201cIncoming call options\u201d enabled).<\/p>\n<p>Note that this setting means calls will go straight to voicemail on your cell and the call won\u2019t ring at all. You\u2019ll still be able to answer it from Gmail but others won\u2019t hear anything if you let it go to voicemail there either.<\/p>\n<h2>I set up \u201cDo not disturb\u201d but now I want a message sent via email when someone leaves me a voice message anyway. How do I turn that back on?<\/h2>\n<p>You can always dial *97 (or *99) from any touch-tone phone or computer and check the box next to \u201cSend yourself a copy of this message in Google Voice.\u201d This is also helpful for turning the option back on if you temporarily disable it to test for a bug or other issue.<\/p>\n<p>This will just send you an email with the text of the voicemail transcription, and not the actual audio file; to get that instead you should dial *98 (or *98).<\/p>\n<h2>I changed my cell phone number but I forgot about an app that checks Verizon\u2019s \u201cmyverizon\u201d portal for new messages. What should I do?<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve got you covered! Just go into your google.com\/voice settings page and check the box next to \u201cForward calls for this number.\u201d You\u2019ll have until the end of that day before turning it off again if you change your mind later on. This also works if someone else has your old number and is leaving voicemails in Gmail \u2014 just give them this new number to use in their account.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to keep the old phone number and forward calls from a new one, just check the box next to \u201cForward messages for this number\u201d instead; that will send everything from either cell to your google.com\/voice account instead of having it ring twice (once through normal means and once on Google Voice).<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m away from my computer but I want my wife or parents to be able to read Gmail\u2019s voicemail transcriptions even when they don\u2019t have accounts set up on Google Voice. How can we do that?<\/p>\n<p>Just log into chat.google.com using your Google Account and start a conversation with your secondary account\u2019s email address. In the \u201cTo:\u201d field, put in your GV number (including any area code); now anyone signed into that primary account can read those transcriptions as though they were signed into Google Voice too!<\/p>\n<h2>I tried to forward calls from my cell to Google Voice but only half of them got through. What should I do?<\/h2>\n<p>This is likely because some of the phones you\u2019re forwarding calls from are not capable of leaving and receiving text messages (this functionality is also known as short messaging service or SMS). You\u2019ll find this restriction on phones especially made for overseas use that don\u2019t have SIM cards; if you\u2019re certain this isn\u2019t what\u2019s causing it you might want to try getting a new SIM card if you\u2019re using an older phone.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, this is pretty much the exact opposite of what we want (it\u2019d be nice for calls to come into your cell first and then get forwarded on to Google Voice) but it\u2019s not completely out of our hands yet either. While you can\u2019t forward everything from your cell, there are some exceptions that will still work even with this limitation: voicemails left from regular landline phones, calls forwarded directly from other GV numbers and calls between users with forwarding set up properly in their accounts.<\/p>\n<h2>I just bought a new smart phone but I\u2019m having trouble setting up my carrier\u2019s account so I can use voice commands \u2014 how can I solve this problem?<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re a Verizon, Sprint or T-Mobile subscriber then you should still be able to use voice commands in Gmail without any trouble even on non-smart phones (like the Motorola Q \u2014 check out that phone\u2019s review and user-driven video demo here). All it takes is for one of your contacts in Gmail to have the right permissions set up so Google Voice can send calls directly to their cell instead of using text messaging. As long as that contact has calling forwarding checks enabled their outgoing message will tell you what to dial if you want to call them back, but otherwise they\u2019ll just show up as \u201cUnknown\u201d when contacted this way.<\/p>\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\">\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1628696693644\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do I delete Google Voice voicemail?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">1.
