Help Google Voice update broken?

[johnb41]

I updated the Google Voice app the other day, and now the app is totally broken.

I open the app, and it asks to "set me up". I do the steps, I choose my email from a choice. So good so far. Then it says it has to "verify my phone number" by sending me a text. When it tries, I get this message:

"We have a problem. Your phone number could not be verified. Please try again."

Arg! I can't use GV at all now, and it's my main way of texting. Can anyone help? Thanks.

I think I figured it out. I have 2 GV accounts. One for "work" and one personal. I have always used the personal one for texting. But since it was not verifying me, I chose the other "business" GV account. It didn't ask to verify me, and set me right up. But I don't want to use that account. I went into my personal GV settings on the PC and "added a phone". It then verified me, and now I think I'm okay.
