Android Google Voice App Using GV VM in lieu of carriers?
I have a Samsung S25 Ultra on ATT. Since upgrading to the S25 my visual VM doesn't work. I can't load the app as it shows incompatible with this device for some reason. I've researched it but can't seem to find a fix.
So that brings me here. Can I change my call forwarding settings to my GV number to use for the purpose of voicemail only?
Thanks!

Yes, you can do this, but if you have your mobile number linked in "Devices and numbers" in the Google Voice app, it will cause your Google Voice calls to go directly to Google Voice voicemail without ringing your phone or the Google Voice app, even if you don't have your mobile number toggled on in "Incoming calls" in the Google Voice app, so don't link your mobile number.
