Welcome development, but not amazing

As far as I can tell they are just watching the incoming SS7 ISUP for an indication that the original called number was my cell phone number, and when they get that call, they don't ring my "source" cell phone, but they still ring all the other ones.

When I enabled GV voicemail for my GV-registered cell phone, it just told me to enter this number on my cell phone *74XXX-XXX-XXXX, where the Xs denote my GV number. *74 is the VSAC for Call Forward - No Answer. So that just tells my carrier's switch to forward unanswered calls for my cell phone number, to my GV number.

As previously mentioned, however, if I don't answer my cell phone number, the call then rings about 4 times at the other numbers I checked for GV.

Now, let's say I am away from home and my family calls my cell phone from our home phone, which is also selected on the GV ring list. If I don't answer my cell phone, there is just one additional ring before it goes GV voicemail, and the caller does not hear a Call Waiting beep on the home phone.

If they would change the programming so it does not ring 8-10 times for all calls using this function, or give us a choice, that would be great. Maybe somebody more familiar with switch translations can comment on whether that's possible without creating a lot more problems.

Also, when used for mobile CF-NA with an existing GV number, GV does transcribe the messages and send an e-mail. The blog language on that issue was ambiguous.
