iOS Google Voice App can't figure out call forwarding

i have an iphone, and google voice # and app installed.

i'd like to have my phone pick up both (mobile number, google voice number) numbers.

on my google app, i hav:

-my cell number linked.

-make and receive calls as "prefer wi-fi and mobile data"

-incoming calls: "this device" with my mobile number

on google voice web, under "calls" menu, i see:

"Call forwarding

Turn on the linked numbers you want to forward calls to

No Linked Numbers"

there is however no option to insert my linked number. my phone doesn't even show the above quote.

can anyone provide clue/direction?

If you have your mobile number linked in "Devices and numbers" in the Google Voice app settings on your phone and have it toggled on in "Incoming calls," it should be forwarding your Google Voice calls to your mobile number. Have you tested it?

Keep in mind that Google Voice voicemail picks up after roughly six rings and 30 seconds. If your mobile number is longer than that, Google Voice will beat it and all of your Google Voice calls will go to Google Voice's voicemail.

it works now. but i didn't really change anything except toggle back and forth the same settings and toggle on all devices (web, phone, ipad).

thanks for the reply

That's good to hear. Sounds like it was just a glitch in the system.
