I recently purchased the HTC One and switched to At&t and I'm having problems getting Google Voice to work correctly. The voice mail part seems to work fine, but I'm missing the Text ability.

I primarily use Voice for the text abilities via the web. I cant stand typing texts on my phone so I use the web interface to respond to texts during the day at work. Now that I've switched to At&t and tried to setup Voice again, the text ability is missing from the web site (https://www.google.com/voice). All it says there now is 'Voice" in the upper left of the screen, where it used to also say Text and I was able to type in text messages.

Anyone run into this issue or have insight into what I've done wrong?


Update -
Nevermind, apparently I've been using Google Voice for so long that my number expired? Who knows. I created a new number and Text is working like it used to.

Haha I was gonna say! I use Google Voice every day and i have no issues with it so far. Glad you figured it out! Why pay for texts and it can be free.
