I need some help with GV, but I don't know if the problem is with my account or another GV account. Ok here's what is going on; my friend setup a GV number and account yesterday to use for our business and it goes straight to voicemail when *I* call it. One of our other friends called it sitting right next to us and his phone rings like normal. But I have been trying since last night and it has never rang once, it only says something like "the Google Voice subscriber is unavailable. He said this morning that no one at work is having any trouble with that number either, why is it just me?

We have the EXACT same settings on the app, the EXACT same settings on the web version, he can call my GV number and it rings just fine, I have called his GV number with my GV number AND my Verizon number. Nothing works and I have tried everything! Do Not Disturb is not checked, he has no special call settings for particular numbers, groups, days or times.

It's almost like it's blocking me automatically, but everyone else has no problem. I have had GV since it came out and have never had a problem before. Can anyone please help?

I noticed the EXACT same thing.

I lost my wallet at GreatClips after I got my hair cut (it was under a towel).
I drove home and looked high & low but couldn't find it.
So I figured I left it in my Semi-Truck and called them to tell them I had to drive 20 miles and would be back to pay.
They said they found it and tried to call.
When I got there they called my phone (GV #) and I got the same recording you did.

I haven't heard of this before until now, I thought it was because I'm using version 0.3.4

Google "Google Voice issues" and it'll direct you to their help forum.
