Change forwarding numbers?

[hallm409]

I just got access to the beta today and have been playing with the app. It looks great, and it's really impressive what you can do as a web-based app.

One feature that I couldn't find in the Settings was the ability to change which phones my Google Voice number forwards to -- not the Call Back number, but the destinations of incoming calls. The mobile version of the Google Voice web site allows you to change this setting and I use it constantly to change where I want to receive my calls (office extensions, home, work blackberry, etc). Unfortunately using the preset calendar doesn't work for me.

Am I just missing where this is? If not, could you add that in as a feature request?

Thanks!!

I would add also, not only be able to change the forwarding number, but set up a new phone as well.

this can of course be done from a website, but some places (e.g. banks) block Google Voice. You can't get to it in the browser on the phone, since it only brings up the mobile enabled version of the site which doesn't have this functionality

Its in our feature request queue. Probably wont see it until we go live.

I have to say, I thought I was crazy when I couldn't find the option to change forwarding numbers. I didn't check for it before signing up for the premium service... I was so impressed with the advanced features, I assumed all the basics were there as well.

This is so important... please add it soon!

We completely agree that this is an important feature. I just updated the feature request in our tracking system to get it expedited.

Thanks for the feedback--keep it coming.
