Help AT&T S3 with Google Voice voicemail Problems

I just got my Samsung Galaxy S3 yesterday for AT&T. So far I absolutely love it.

The one problem that I'm having is setting up Google Voice for my voicemail. After I updated all of the applications (including Google Voice), I go through the setting up of Voicemail and when it tries to load the phone portion of the process, it hangs at the black screen and then pops up with "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped". This happens repeatedly going through this method.

If I go to the phone call settings and try to change the Voicemail service option there to Google Voice, I get the following error messages:
"Error" Window with "Change to new Provider?" message. If I click "Yes", it tries to "update settings" and then comes up with an error message that states "Fowarding number change failed"

I know this is new and sounds like a problem with the phone setup rather than Google Voice, but I'm interested in figuring out a way to get this back up and running. Any assistance would be greatly appreicated.
 
If it was working before skip it, the line is already forwarded to Google Voice. Every time I load a new ROM I go through that same process and skip the forwarding part because it is already set for that.

If yours isn't, go to the web interface from your computer you should be able to get the codes you need to enter on your phone to manually do it.
 
calls are still forwarding to my phone, its outbound calls that are the issue. I have however found a workaround. I set GV to ask every time I make a call, and it works great.

This workaround appears to work. Only bad thing is that it now appears to call through the local phone and then the google voice phone. I liked the automatic declaration. Hopefully Samsung can update this in the future.

Thanks for your help!!!
