How to Deactivate Google Voice Voicemail and Return to iPhone Visual Voice Mail

Have you ever set up Google Voice with your iPhone?  Well if you ever want to stop Google Voice from being your iPhone’s default voicemail then follow these simple steps:

  1. To deactivate forwarding and return to regular visual voicemail enter ##61# and hit call.
  2. If you are on AT&T in the United States and you not only want to deactivate regular voicemail but your busy voicemail as well, enter ##004# and hit call.

In case you are asking why?, well lets just say Google Voice is not all that it is cracked up to be.

This article gets quite a few hits. I wrote this back in 2010 before the iPhone made its way to Verizon and Sprint. I am not sure how to remove Google Voice from those networks as I do not own an iPhone on the networks. Sorry if this does not help you in your quest.
