Ack! I may be out of luck. I didn't set it the way you did on installation of the Google Voice app, and I don't think I can change it now.
Google instructions say "
To change which voicemail service to use, use the Settings application."
Then says, "For more information, see
Call settings."
But my LG Optimus V shows none of those Call settings. When I tap "Call settings" in the Settings app, this phone only shows a subcategory "Other call settings", and lists only four settings:
- Excuse Messages
- Plus Code Dialing
- TTY Mode
- DTMF Tones.
My guess at this stage is that Virgin Mobile decides what to allow to be set under Call settings, and doesn't allow retro-setting of "Voicemail service" on the Optimus V.
If that guess is true, then word to the wise for new sipdroid users with Optimus Vs: On Google Voice installation, select Google Voice as your voicemail service. Then you can get incoming calls to your VM number to optionally use sipdroid/Voip, as riffdex describes above in this thread.
(At some point I may gamble and see if just resetting or re-downloading Google Voice will be enough. For now, I'm just too tired from the effort it took to get sipdroid, Google Voice, pbxes, and Google Voice Callback working harmoniously.)
