Google Voice Has Problems

So about three months ago, I got an invitation to use google voice. I signed up with excitement of another Google product that seemed to be to good to be true. Well, welcome to Google Voice Hell. Not only is there no real way to get a hold of google unless you are buying ads. The forms that they ask you to fill out in their google help is crap, and probably goes to some big trash bin on an old server that nobody ever checks.

See, after setting up the google voice account with their number, I set up my cell phone to use google voice as an answering machine instead of the crappy sprint number. In my excitement to get it all set up. I didn’t even get to test the number until it was all done. Once I did, I found out that it said, this number is no longer in service, and cannot be completed as dialed, depending on the phone that I use to call it. Making my sprint phone # re-direct to this message every time I missed the call. Sure, I know that it is a beta product, and still has some bugs. There is no excuse for not fixing it in over three months. Especially when I have been filling out forms about once a week to let them know that there was a problem. I can send text’s just fine, but I cannot receive calls. Nor can I use any of the cool features of the VM that it was designed for. I’ve already turned off my sprint phone connection, but I would love to be able to try out the service with a working number.

Oh get this the Send Feedback Form at the top of the page gives you this:

”

Something bad happened. Don’t worry, though. The Spreadsheets Team has been notified and we’ll get right on it.

”

I got two words for you. Bull Sh!t!!

If anyone has had similar problems, or a possible way to get this resolved, It would be greatly appreciated.
