Google Voice Problem

Ok Google Voice rocks - except now it is not working. I set my call options (I have a sprint hero) to always "ask" if i wated to call with Google voice. It worked. Now it doesn't.

I have uninstalled, rebooted phone, and re-installed. Still not working.

Anyone have a similar issue? Help please
