Troubleshooting

How to fix Google Voice not working

Google Voice is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Check the official status page
Open Google's official status page first. Look for an incident that names Voice, because the entries there tell you whether to wait or keep digging. A clear page points the problem back at your device or account.
Sign in with the account that owns the number
Several Google Accounts can be signed in at once. The one that loads may not be the one tied to your number, so switch it: click your profile picture in the top right of the web app and pick the right account. On the phone, open the menu and read the address at the top of settings.
Stop calls from skipping to voicemail
When calls go straight to voicemail, Do Not Disturb is the first thing to check. Open settings in the web app, choose Calls, and switch Do not disturb off. A linked number that was removed or needs verifying also blocks the ring, so look at what shows under Account.
Reinstall the app
Delete the app and install it again from the Play Store or the App Store. Sign back in with the same account, and your number should reappear on its own. If a bad update caused the trouble, reinstalling clears the local data that update left behind; the help centre covers what it does not fix.

While Google Voice is down: what to use instead

Web version in a browser If the phone app won't load your messages or keeps failing to connect, open Voice in a browser on your computer, since an app problem doesn't always affect the web client.
Your carrier's own calling and texts Use your phone's built-in dialer and messaging app for anything urgent, but remember the other person sees your carrier number instead of your Voice number.
WhatsApp WhatsApp handles calls and texts over Wi-Fi or mobile data when the other person has it installed.
Google Meet Send a Meet link for a quick audio or video call; the other person can join from a browser.

Your device

Fix Google Voice on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone

Google Voice on Windows

Fix: Clear your browser cache and cookies, or try using a supported browser like Google Chrome to access the Google Voice website. Ensure microphone and notification permissions are enabled for the site.
Check: Check if you can access the Google Voice website and if outgoing calls fail with a connection error. You can also verify if other Google services are loading to rule out a wider outage.

Command Prompt

ping voice.google.comTest whether Google Voice's servers reply

nslookup voice.google.comCheck that Google Voice's DNS resolves

tracert voice.google.comTrace where the connection drops

ipconfig /flushdnsClear the DNS cache, then reload

Google Voice on Mac

Fix: Verify that your browser has permission to access your microphone in macOS System Settings, and clear the browser's website data for Google Voice. Restarting the browser can also resolve audio routing issues.
Check: Attempt to sign into your Google Voice account via a Mac web browser and check if the interface loads or if calls immediately drop. Check the Google Workspace Status Dashboard for service-wide disruptions.

Terminal

ping -c 4 voice.google.comTest whether Google Voice's servers reply

nslookup voice.google.comCheck that Google Voice's DNS resolves

traceroute voice.google.comTrace where the connection drops

sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponderFlush the macOS DNS cache, then reload

Google Voice on Android

Fix: Update the Google Voice app from the Google Play Store and clear its cache in your Android settings. Ensure the app has permissions for contacts, microphone, and phone.
Check: Open the Google Voice app to see if it displays a connection error banner or fails to sync your text messages. Try sending a test text to see if it fails to deliver.

Google Voice on iPhone and iPad

Fix: Update the Google Voice app via the Apple App Store and ensure that microphone access is enabled in your iOS settings. Reinstalling the app can also resolve persistent connection issues.
Check: Check if the Google Voice app fails to load your call logs or if you receive a notification that a call could not be placed. Verify if the app crashes upon opening or fails to send messages.

About

What happens when Google Voice goes down

Google Voice gives you a phone number for calls, texts, voicemail, and call forwarding. You may use it as a second line for work or home, and an outage can cut off incoming calls, outgoing calls, text messages, and voicemail alerts on the web and in the mobile apps.

During an outage, the mobile app may stall while connecting or signing in, and the web inbox may fail to load. Calls can fail to connect or drop mid-call, texts can queue or fail to send, and voicemail recordings or transcripts may not appear. Sign-in and inbox loading often break first, before call and text delivery. Problems are often partial or regional, hitting a subset of numbers or carriers rather than every account at once.

Questions

Google Voice FAQ

Is Google Voice down right now?

The status at the top of this page shows whether user problem reports for Google Voice are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. This site does not ping, probe, poll, or monitor the service itself, and it never checks from multiple locations. If you want the company's own view, open the official status page linked above. To see if the problem is only on your side, switch from Wi-Fi to cellular data, try a different browser, sign out then back in, and test the mobile app.

Why do my Google Voice calls fail with a 'Couldn't complete your call' message?

That message usually means the app could not reach the call service, so check your internet connection first. Turn off weak Wi-Fi and place the call over cellular data. Confirm that your linked phone still has a working signal, because the app may route calls through it; if the message appears on one device only, remove and reinstall the app, then sign in again.

Why did Google Voice stop sending texts on my iPhone or Android?

Texts can stop when the app loses its connection to your Google Account, so sign out and back in on the phone. Check that the Google Voice app has permission to send messages and run in the background. If you use a linked number for texting, verify that the number still forwards texts to the app. On Android, clear the app cache; on iPhone, force quit the app and reopen it.

Why can't I claim a new Google Voice number or link my existing number?

Number claiming and linking depend on your account type and your location, so a personal account in an unsupported country will not see the option. If you use a Google Workspace account, your admin may need to turn the service on for your organization. A number that someone else already owns cannot be claimed, and a landline or VoIP number may fail verification. Try a mobile number you control, then follow the verification text or call.

Why does Google Voice voicemail not forward to my phone or show up in the app?

Voicemail forwarding depends on your linked number and your Do Not Disturb settings. Check both. In the app, open Settings, then Voicemail, and confirm that notifications are on for the device you carry. If you forward calls to a phone with no signal or airplane mode on, the voicemail may stay in the app instead of ringing.

How we track Google Voice

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Google Voice, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Google Voice, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Google Voice's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
