Recent quirks with Google Voice
kgjulie:
I have been having GV call drops like crazy today -- all at 1 or 2 minutes. I had a 29 minute conference call this morning, then a 14 minute call approximately half an hour later. Since then, every call (8-9 total) has been cut off -- a few I could still hear the other party but they could not hear me and hung up.
I unplugged everything and plugged it back in and it did not help.
My cell phone is also acting weird (unrelated to GV), and I can't rely on it for backup. I am in the middle of buying a house (closing is Friday) and moving, dealing with tons of calls and even faxes -- it's not a good time for my phone to crap out!!
Please GV, have mercy on me!! :o

Just to clarify, saying "I could still hear the other party but they could not hear me" means that the call was not cut or dropped. A call being cut or dropped indicates that your call is no longer connected to anyone else. That you can hear the other party indicates your call is still connected though something is not working with the call. Saying the call was dropped gives people a wrong impression of what actually is happening.
Have you been going into the google voice dashboard, finding your call in the list and flagging it as a problem call? When that happens do you check voip performance for your internet at that time? i.e. could your internet performance be fluctuating?
mo832:
Just to be clear, in my case the calls ARE actually dropped. And they are always dropped at a round number, usually 30 minutes. Maybe 20% of those dropped calls are at 2 minutes. But it is always a fixed number. Never 2:38, or 7:12 or 19:15, more like 30:04, 30:02, 30:05, 2:02, etc.
Sure, it may be multiple sources, but it is definitely a discrete action that is cutting off the calls. Sometimes it may be the same person, but not always. And when it is always 2 minutes, that goes beyond equipment issues. When the other person has no similar issues with anyone else, I tend to believe it is not the other party's issue. When it is repeated 30 minute calls, there is something causing it.
The only similar issue I am AWARE of as being a hard rule, is the GV 3 hour per call limit, which happens every time, and it is already known. Whatever system makes that happen, I would bet is making this happen by mistake. But if Google isn't working on it, it won't change.
Codesmith:
I have no clue if this is related but when I started spoofing a GV number as my outgoing caller ID number I ran into lots of problems calling GV numbers.
The problems seems to go away when I quit spoofing.
Johnny:
I have GV forward calls to my cell phone and as of an hour or so ago, it hasn't been forwarding calls to my cell phone for some reason.
The calls are showing up in my GV account, but my cell isn't getting these calls.
I double checked to make sure everything was still set up properly and it is. I've had calls forwarded to my cell phone for years with no problems.
I also have noticed dropped calls in the past few weeks, and I can't remember that happening much at all the last few years.
Looks like something is definitely happening with GV, and it might not be good.
