How do you remove the Google Voice Service from you Google account. It's looking like I'll have to delete my Google Account and Master Reset my phone to get rid of Google Voice, cause they don't let you remove the service from you account and it doesn't allow you to remove the physical phone from the Google Voice settings...
Has anyone found out how to close down Google Voice the way you can close down Google Buzz or Blogger?
Would really suck to have to change my entire email address just to get rid of this ****.
EDIT: Oh, so you can't remove this service. Guess it's time to start going to 100k different places and changing my email, send out mass notices, and create a brand new Google account. I can't believe this ****...

You don't have to use Google Voice but you do need a google account. What you can do is via a computer, change your Google Account password, then your Android will prompt you to update it. At that time you should be able to enter a new google email/password and you would be good to go.
If you are looking for a new e-mail address, you can keep your old and always forward to your new. I hope I understood your question and answered it.
Get a phone number with Skype or other VOIP service (or use your work phone). Edit your settings in Google Voice to make that number active. Removed your mobile number.
Better?
https://www.google.com/voice?pli=1#phones delete the phone number from there and deactivate the GV, what's the big deal?
You can't remove the only number on Google Voice.
I'm not paying for another number just to do this.
Already in the process of moving everything over to another email address.
I'll just get rid of the account, after I have T-Mobile change my phone number.
Why do you need to remove it? Just stop using the service....

Just replace forwarding number with some other number like gizmo5 and and then log off Google voice service on your phone. that should take care of it.
Way to take the hard road and complain while doing it.
You were given some good options, not sure why you felt the need to create a thread and ignore all advice...
Let's just leave the troll alone no need to conduct an exit interview.

So, I love google voice.
<Back story> I have three Gmail accounts: business, personal, and a junk account. I didn't know there was a limit of it seems two or three times you can tie your phone to a google number. On top of that, my original EVO had to be returned to the store for a defect (i got a new one about 2 months ago)
So I'd love to use google voice again with the account I've already setup (one of my gmails) Problem is when i get to the part of verifying the phone by sending a text message I get "a problem has occured" message from the google voice app.
Some digging on google tells me that my phone number has already been tied to the maximum number of google voice accounts.
Further complicating things (and this one is my own fault) the ONE google voice accoun that I had working on my last phone (a 4th gmail account) I can't remember the password to. This seems to be the account that has the "active" status and would work on my phone if I could just remember the password. It's my junk gmail account, and even password recovery doesnt work.
Anyone got a friendly tip how I can go about getting my original Google voice account setup back on my phone? Is there a particular page on google I can request to have everything wiped out related to my phone and start fresh?
Thanks!
Jeff
Have you tried setting it up on the computer?
yes - anytime I try to setup on a computer it gives me the message "unable to verify number, the phone number you entered is already paired to two google voice accounts"
i guess their limit is two.
The weird thing is while the original phone was physically a different evo, I still have the same cell phone number (using it daily) that I used when I setup my first few google voice accounts.
Its like they just completely forgot to have a "reclaim" feature in their system such that someone can re-pair a phone with their google voice account as long as you verifty ownership of the number, which i totally can.
Go into one of your other numbers and change the main number to a different number. Like home or a friends cell for the time being. Then set up your main on your evo. If you really need 3 GV accounts, you can always get a virtual number for a minimal price. I use 3jam.com.

(Yeah please excuse the subject typo...rage and all)
So I've just come across an interesting problem. With the Froyo update I took the opportunity to change what I'll call the root profile Gmail address from my personal to work (on Google Apps). Alls well until I go to reload my apps which won't because it's under a different Gmail address. Samsung support says "Nope" it won't combine email addresses.
My question is, will Googs allow this? I've got enough invested in apps that I do NOT want to buy them over again and quite effing honestly, SHOULDN'T HAVE TO.
Something else comes to mind (speaking in future tense now)...if I had purchased them through the Amazon Marketplace this wouldn't have been an issue?

Your purchases are registered under one gmail profile...seems pretty straightforward to me. You couldn't buy apps with one Apple ID and download them on another. Why not sign your original gmail back in and then add the other gmail?

From a developer stand point, I understand why not.
Then I could just register one address with all of my families android devices and they would all have the apps that where only paid for once.
go back to the other email address....
Yeah, just log out and log back into the old gmail account.

I think that is what google does not want to happen, the apps were paid for once from the owner of the purchase. They don't want people adding emails to a google account and giving away paid apps free just by adding emails.
Can't go back to the other address. The phone is for word so I'm using my work address going forward. Meanwhile everything purchased is back with the personal email. Any way to combine them? Quis how do you add another email to your account?

Go to gmail > accounts > add account
You can set either account as your "preferred" account, but you have to have your original gmail account as your main to link the apps you purchased.
I would have to say that i agree with google here. i know it sucks in your situation but you know how many people would take advantage of that. I could buy an app and then let my wife have it on her acct too. like 9kracing said just add both accts to your phone.
Yeah but cmon is that info and warning displayed anywhere?!? I should have the ability to *transfer/move*, not multiple times to multiple accounts but just to another email address. Both are even under the same first name! 1:1 transfer nothing more. As if to say "Hey Google, I'm over here now".
@9kracing: "Go to gmail > accounts > add account" does that work for Google Apps? I'm not seeing that option at all and I've got OPS.

You could forward all work mail to your personal account, and create a filter in gmail to give them a Lable, like "Work" and skip them showing up in your personal inbox.

I looked into this for a long time, simply put, there is no way to swap app purchases from one gmail account to another.
That's really *really* annoying. Thoughts on if using Amazon Appstore gets around this issue?
Why not log into the gmail account that has the purchases and copy them to the sdcard? Then log in as the other account and install them from the sdcard.

I'm a little confused.
When I go to Gmail and hit menu, there is an "accounts" option. Go there. Now at the bottom of the screen, I have a little button that says "add account". I only have 1 gmail so I haven't tried it, but the concept seems pretty simple to me....
Yeah that's simple enough too. Then you can have all your paid apps on your sd card

Well, the apps purchased from the Amazon Appstore is also tied to the account that purchased it, but you can always change the email associated with the account.
how do I get rid of an account that is synced on google so that I can change the google talk to a different account. I have both accounts on the gmail and it works fine but it crashes whenever I go to account settings which is where I think the solution might lie if I could just open it. I tried to uninstall google talk but it failed, otherwise I would have deleted it and reinstalled it. Is there an easy fix for this. Right now I am getting one directional conversations from people talking to my partner, its very frusterating. thanks so much for the help yall.. one day I might just ask a worthy question.
Hi!
In the past few days, several people have called me claiming I've been texting them about their items on craigslist. I haven't been texting, and the people calling me are from states in the mid-west. It appears that someone took my number and added it to their Google Voice account. When these craigslist people call me, it does the whole, "state your name and we'll try to connect you".
What can I do, aside from getting a new number?
Try to reclaim your number via Google voice
Get (if you don't have one) a Google voice account
Add your number to it
It will say "this number is in use would you like to reclaim it" (or something similar)
Note: the person(s) that had your number added WILL RECEIVE AN EMAIL ABOUT THE CHANGE.
You could contact your carrier as well, otherwise this might become a cat and mouse game between you and the other person(s).

I tried adding my number to my Google Voice account, and it gave me the following error:
"This number is already being used on two other Google Voice accounts. Forwarding numbers cannot be shared across more than two accounts."
It didn't give me the option to reclaim it. I have 3 Gmail accounts, and it isn't an any of them.
Thanks!

Try contacting Google directly. You may have to go through the help pages. I have never seen a number be able to be used on TWO Google accounts at once. (I have two google voice accounts, and cannot use one number on both)
I wish I had another solution. Sorry.

I called the FCC, and they said there's nothing you can do.
I've stopped getting random calls.Whoever was spoofing with my number seems to have moved on to another number.

Just tried to install Google Voice on my PH-1 with Android Pie. I got nowhere.
I am wondering if privacy setting could have anything to do with it...
If anyone can point me towards someone that has it working that may wish to provide a little tutelage I would appreciate it.
Of course I have a gmail account. But when I installed, I chose the account then I see several pages fly by and then at the bottom is has a box stating to switch accounts.
I am more than a little clueless at this time.

If it helps you at all, I signed up for my Google voice number on the website before I signed into the app on my phone. From there it didn't require any other input aside from setting ringtones. I use it at my daily contact number.
It's working fine for me. Have you used Google Voice before on another phone? The basics should be the same. Once you get assigned a number that's associated with a gmail account, you should be able to go to settings in the app on the phone and set it up. The GV number and the phone number it's forwarded to are in the first part of settings.
