So my GV replaces the GSM providers voicemail.

To set up conditional forwarding on T-Mobile, in your phone enter:
Code:
*004*yourGVnum#
and then press send, and then any calls which would've gone to your original voicemail will be forwarded to GV instead.
Are there any per call forwarded charges incurred?

T-mobile gives me 500 forwarding minutes per billing cycle, I haven't gone over yet, but I think after those 500 are used up, it will be counted as regular airtime minutes.

it is just an SMS with a speech-to-text translation the sound clip lives on the server.

It would be nice if we could have a GV app similar to the Youmail apps.

Though it would definitely help if GV had an official API as Youmail does.

For those who are puzzled by the term visual voicemail: see Wikipedia. Its a graphical user interface to the voice mail menu you used to access via numpad over GSM. Good news is, some folks are collaborating on making a standard for visual voicemail.

In the days of the answering machine the person who phoned paid to leave a message. Queue voicemail, you pay twice. And again to configure the damn thing. I don't like it, I rather put it off. If it is important 1) I phone back 2) person who phoned sends SMS 3) or that person phones back. No need for voicemail. At worst, if really necessary implement it on local level on the device, much like an answering machine.

Since I plan on getting involved with some dev work related to video-calls, a Google Wave invite would come in mighty handy.

I presume that Google Voice is part of Wave?

GV isnt part of wave, AFAIK - YET. Makes obvious sense to integrate it. HogWash, PM me for invite to wave.

These should get you going:

http://www.google.com/googlevoice/about.html
http://www.google.com/support/voice/

It might be a long wait to get a GV invitation. If you don't have the patience, you can buy an invitation on Ebay for $1-5.

If anyone needs a GV invite, PM or email me.
sky4vip, by any chance, do you have another wave invite to spare?
