Problem setting up google voice on mt Iphone 4S

Question

Here is my problem, I really hope someone can help!
I'ven been trying to set up Google Voice to my Iphone 4S. I logged into my already exsiting Google account and clicked the link "Get a Voice number". I then chose to "I want a new number" and after searching, finding and accepting a number I'm asked to set up a Voicemail password and accept the Terms and Policys of Google. So far so good. Here is the problem....
The next step in the setup is to add a forwarding phone to the Google Voice. I added my Iphone number (AT&T) and clicked "Continue". I'm now given a two digit vertification code that I'm suppose to enter when Goggle voice call me (the number I entered as a forwarding phone) to varify the number is actually mine. When it does, I enter the code but nothing! The computer voice responds "I'm sorry I didn't catch that". It does this three time before disconnecting.
By now I have tried everything and this is my last hope. I have talk to AT&T, Apple Support and no one could help me. I tried various things posted on the internet but nothing seems to work. There must be people with Iphone 4S that uses Google Voice. Please help me!
Thanks

The verifying message can take longer than usual as it needs to obviously verify.
Sometimes the program can become way-layed and stop working.
A few suggestions i have to make would be:
Click the home button twice, hold down the apps until they shake, and delete the mail and settings applications open.
Then reload the email and try and verify again.
Another suggestion would be to hard reset the phone, which would involve holding the home button and the lock button together which evidently crashes the phone.
That could refresh the data and allow you to access your email.
Similiarly you could set up another email address using the same email operator and see if that works.
If it doesnt, it might be worth trying a different email address e.g. Trying googlemail or hotmail.
Not sure how you set up your email account but try either of these methods.
Go onto settings > Email, contacts and calanders > add account > Choose your email type > enter username and password.
The other way would be to go into the mail app and set your email address and password through that.
If all else fails, try downloading a 3rd party application which can run your email account.
e.g. I have a Googlemail 3rd party application which i find is more accessibly friendly.
Best of luck.
