en I have an old "Google Voice" phone number and also get the "you must use it or lose it" messages, BUT I installed this extension because I recently got GoogleFi (Fiber) connection for internet and also added for a measely $10 more per month their phone option. This DOES work on my company issued computer (on Windows 11) but does NOT work on my personal computer (which I also use for other business purposes). I'm about to install Windows 11 on this computer so that I'll have a fully functioning click-to-dial on this computer and for my personal and non-employer related businesses. Do I LIKE that I have to go to Windows 11? NO - but being forced to adapt to it because my new employer issued computer replacing one with Wndows 10 I have come to actually LOVE some of the Windows 11 features. Haven't tried to install a printer - I had Windows 11 "forced upgrade" a while back on another computer and never COULD get it to connect with a printer - but I've heard that this isn't as big of a deal as it was, plus what are we talking for a home ink jet printer? For under $100 I can buy a pretty nice, current one and forget this four year old (or more!) antique. My verdict - I THINK it's gonna work great! Don't know yet, as on my employer issued computer I'm having some issues with headset versus speaker, but then I have a LOT of problems with that because I use Ring Central, Teams, Zoom, Webex, LinkedIn, Google Meet, and other facilities and constantly have to reset (and/or reBOOT) the computer to adjust to all of the changes. SOME day maybe we'll have a universal plug and play for this stuff - but not yet. The issues around this with Zoom/Teams along remind me of the old days when Novell (original networking system, created out of Utah by a bunch of Mormons) and Microsoft (the second comer to the networking field, created by hippies and stoners out of the California/Pacific Northwest patch) would CONSTANTLY write code to DELIBERATELY make their competitor's systems incompatible and/or crash.

en Unfortunately -- and this is not the fault of the extension but Google Voice itself -- no matter how it is accessed, it is not working half the time I attempt to use it. But that does not stop Google from emailing me every 2 months that my GV number is about to expire if I don't use it more. SMH.

WHERE IS CLICK TO CALL? This is a useless extension, what does it do but open a new tab? Click to call feature does not work, they say "Register" when I click on that button nothing happens. Who designed this and decided that this was a useful extension? IT DOES NOTHING

What is this worthless trash? I click the toolbar button and it just opens Google Voice in a new tab? Why wouldn't I just use a bookmark?

I'm signed into multiple Google accounts in Chrome and I don't want the Google Voice extension using the default one (which is what it does). But, there's not option to switch accounts within the extension.

this extension is useless. It just re-directs to Google voice. I want to call while staying on the same URL

What does this extension do??? I still have to open the Google Voice website to use the features of Google Voice. No calls ring in my browser unless Google Voice is an open tab, which defeats the whole point of the extension. This is pretty much the most useless extension in the store.
