Root [Virgin Mobile] I can't get my voicemails without calling my own phone number

To get voicemail for your real number in Google Voice you must have your service provider forward unanswered calls (which would otherwise go to your provider's voicemail system) to Google Voice. That is set during Google Voice app setup. If you have trouble getting voicemail to your real number, contact your service provider and make sure they have set forwarding to Google Voice. Your service must be capable of conditional call forwarding for this to work.
