Then when you forward your other phones it will ring your cell phone and you can enter the code? Hi Romilda,
Why don’t you just have your Google Voice number routed to your cell phone or landline, and turn off the “call presentation” option. Then when you forward your other phones it will ring your cell phone and you can enter the code?

I want to forward those (few calls because I never use the number) to Google Voice. However, in order to enter numbers you have to be able to answer that phone and enter in your code to get it connected to Google Voice. Well the virtual phone doesn't ring anywhere. Is there any way I can get those calls routed through Google Voice? Don I am a real estate agent that already has a virtual number through my company.

It would be great if it was also a fax #. Docs would show up in your inbox. And send fax also. Then everything could be handled from one place. Or even receive fax on your iphone.

What is this world coming to! Mosts of our tasks that we do in a small business could be internetised within a few years. Google seems to be leading in that and its funneling its phenomenal growth. I read your articles as regularly I can. They make more sense to me because of the lack of IT teck speeck. Hey Don,

Recently, I installed Google Chrome browser on my computer, and it "took over" everything. When I finally uninstalled it, I had to call a tech to restore my PC to normal function. I also had to uninstalled the Google toolbar because Google seems to "take over" where ever it's installed on a PC; it slowed everything down significanly, especially loading my Firefox web browser.

I was fortunate in that I signed up for Grand Central as well when it was still open, so Ive been using Google Voice for a while. I did not really get the significance of it at the time, and set it up in my old home town so that my friends could call me at no cost to them. Now i want to change it to a phoenix # and cant. Hopefully they will change that. Hi Don,

Google did experiment with call tracking a while ago and then stopped. Maybe down the road Google will integrate this with the Google LBC dashboard or analytics to provide some really nice metrics for small businesses. That’s an excellent idea Jeff.

Lets say that you setup a directory and the person calling has to push #1 because they are a new customer. Then every month you could total up the number of new customer calls. Combine that with a "Google Form App" and you have a much more clear picture of true leads per month.
