To set up
Google Voice as your voicemail:
For step-by-step
instructions for using Google Voice as your voicemail, refer to the IT
KnowledgeBase article Google
Voice as your voicemail.
You
must follow the 3-step process completely to avoid issues:
1. Set up a local* phone number in your
DePauw Google account. These are provided by Google and often (though not
always) in the 765-276-xxxx range, which is a local Greencastle call.
2. Forward your office phone to the
phone number created in step 1.
3.
Finalize your Google Voice
settings. ***VERY IMPORTANT STEP!***
*At times, Google
expends all its local numbers for our area. Usually, they are able to acquire
more within a week or two when this happens. If you don’t want to wait until a
local number becomes available go ahead and select a long distance number. The
small long distance cost for leaving/getting a voicemail message will
negligible, generally only 5-10 cents per message.
If you choose not to setup voicemail, please consider forwarding your phone to your assistant or your department’s main contact number so others can leave a message for you.
