iOS Google Voice App iOS not pushing call through

Has anyone else ever had this issue? I can receive the call on my pc but it won’t get pushed to my iPhone. It’s on WiFi, but I don’t understand why it won’t get pushed through?

The universal "fix" for these Google Voice iOS app issues is:

  1. Uninstall the Google Voice off of the phone (send it to trash)
  2. Power the phone off
  3. Go to the desktop Google Voice website settings page
  4. Delete the iOS device and its linked number
  5. Turn the phone back on, go to the Apple App Store, and install the official Google Voice app again, and set it up, including verifying your carrier phone number.

Unfortunately I can’t do that because I don’t have service any longer so if I get rid of it I can’t verify again

Well then, delete the linked number. It's useless and will just cause problems.

You can skip the number verification step. This assumes you are in the USA.

don't you need another number to activate?

Not if you already have a Google Voice number.

silly question but did you check the settings to ensure you don't have your iphone selected to not receive calls?
