[TriLUG] google voice and its voicemails

[Scott Chilcote via TriLUG]

It's been a couple of years since I set it up, but I recall the last
time that I changed phones my google voicemail became unlinked from my
phone.  I could still receive it by going to voice.google.com or using
the google voice app on Android.  I had to go back into the config
settings and re-link the messages to my phone number.

It looks like the Call Screening feature in Google Voice may do what you
want.

By the way, the google voicemail settings are also configurable in the
voice app settings.  I didn't recall that, it might be new-ish.
