Google Voice Calls in GMail? Not so much.

So I tried out the much hyped Google Voice / GMail integration tonight with mixed success.  I was able to place outgoing phone calls fine and it largely worked.

Making calls in to my GV account though didn’t work.  I quickly found a new setting in my GV account where my Chat identity had been added to the list of phones tied to my GV account.

So I thought I had it licked.  I checked the box next to Google Chat and pressed “Save”…

Only it didn’t work.  Now when I place calls into my GV number it goes straight to VoiceMail.

Leave a comment below if this actually works for you.  I find it hard to believe Google would launch this service if it didn’t work for them either.  Then again, they’re not always the most careful people when it comes to launching services.
