Hey Gang,
I used google voice for my voicemail when I had my Droid X but for some reason, when I tried to have my Bionic use google voice, I get a message saying my network doesn't support google voice. Any reason why this is happening? Does anyone have google voice's voicemail set up on their bionic? If this is a issue with verizon, does anybody have another app that you can recommend to use as a sub for google voice for visual voice mail?
 
I am also having a problem with my google voice voicemail. My problem is different though, for me all calls placed to my google voice line are leaving the message on my Verizon voicemail instead of on the google voice voicemail. I have both lines set up to handle their own voicemail to seperate business fromn personal.This problem started when I got the bionic.

Mine is working fine. Can't help with a fix, but it definitely can be used on bionic
 
Settings>Call Settings>VM Service> set it to My Carrier... During the set up i skipped the last few setting cause on my OG Droid they never worked anyway.
 
Still not working for me. It appears that everything is set up but whenever I call to test it out. I get a message saying to dial to please dial the number i wish to dial instead of a standard voice mail message.
 
Anyone have any idea how to select the number of rings before voicemail picks up? Mine rings for over a minute before voicemail picks up. Would like to shorten this.

I used the instructions and it worked great. One thing I will say though is to first deactivate the phone in the google voice web settings, (even if all the information appears correct). Then click activate this phone. The pup up box with the instruction and phone number differed from the phone number on google voice. When I inputted this number it worked a treat.

I kept the pop up box up until I had completed all the steps and then clicked done.

I have tested several times and life is good.

Swapping the voicemail service on 4g must be done manually if it wasn't previously setup.
