Google Voice - Misrouted Voicemail? Fast busy signals?

[droid100]

Is anyone else having trouble with their google voice number? I've had several people tell me that they're receiving fast busy signals or getting other people's voicemail.

Anybody else experiencing issues? I'm not paying for the service, so I don't know what I should expect but it seems like reliability might be an issue.

It doesn't seem to work for everybody, so I've stopped giving it out as my number when the call is important. Wish I didn't have to...

I had someone tell me that yesterday, so I tried to call myself and I even got the fast busy signal. But the second time I tried, I got through. Google voice has definitely disappointed me in terms of reliability. But I can SMS internationally for free and call internationally from my mobile for extremely cheap. For a free service, I'm happy .

Looks like google is aware of the problem... I filled out the form, letting them know about the issue.

Hope they fix it.

They also know about other people getting your voicemail:
