I’m really hoping this isn’t the start of a trend. No, Google Voice is not a carrier, but it stands as a middleman between your carrier and your phones, and people aren’t going to put up with the service for long if reliability becomes an issue. As Michael wrote back when the service was still GrandCentral, if you want to be a phone company, you can’t go dead.
We’re hearing that this not affecting everyone, but it’s unclear how many people are affected — judging by how many are tweeting about this, it isn’t just a minor blip.
Google has given us this statement;
“We’re aware of an issue that’s affecting some percentage of Google Voice users and we’re working hard to resolve it.”
