You need to contact the carrier and wait for them to make the change.

It is my understanding that you can set up any 3 numbers in advance to ring simultaneously or certain phones on ring from certain callers.

I need this as no carriers work in my house, so if I had this “I could answer my home phone” when someone called my mobile number.

There are a few things that I not clear on.

Will Google issue a new phone number that you have to distribute to everyone that you would like to receive calls from? Or do you just provide them your current phone number and make your forwarding setting on the web.

On T-mobile what happens when you make or receive a call to your “Favorites” from your mobile or home phone? Will you be charged against your minutes?

Thanks in advance!

And put a message on your office voicemail to call you at your Google number from now on? I'm having a hard time seeing how this is useful when most phone plans have call forwarding services anyway. Enlighten me somebody.</p> So you would have to give out a new phone number to EVERYONE you know? And put a message on your office voicemail to call you at your Google number from now on?
