[Q] how do I properly enable Google voice?

I went through step by step to set the app up. I get sms notifications that I have voice mail but when I go into the app to check my in box there's nothing. I have 3 voice mails since I've started using it yet I'm unable to listen to them. I don't even get transcribed versions of them. Smh. Any suggestions?
