Not working

No, GoogleVoice.NET is not the best open-source wrapper for Google Voice, and it is highly recommended that you do not use it for modern projects.

While it was once a notable solution for developers looking to integrate Google Voice into the .NET ecosystem, the project has been effectively obsolete for years. The Reality of GoogleVoice.NET

Outdated Architecture: GoogleVoice.NET was primarily hosted on platforms like ⁠SourceForge and saw its last meaningful updates around 2016.

Broken Authentication: The wrapper relied on scraping Google’s legacy web login and undocumented internal web APIs. Google long ago deprecated ClientLogin and changed its authentication flows to OAuth 2.0. This completely broke the codebase for GoogleVoice.NET.

No Maintenance: The repository is abandoned and does not support modern .NET (Core/5/6/7/8). Attempting to use it today will result in immediate authentication errors. The Core Problem with Google Voice Wrappers

Google Voice does not have a public, officially documented API for personal accounts. Because of this, any open-source wrapper (whether in .NET, Python, or Node.js) relies on reverse-engineering Google’s internal web traffic.

Every time Google updates its web interface or security protocols, these unofficial wrappers break. Almost all prominent personal Google Voice API projects—such as pygooglevoice in Python or node-google-voice—are currently broken or abandoned for this exact reason. What to Use Instead

Depending on your specific goals, you should pivot to one of these modern alternatives: 1. For Business & Official Google Integrations

If you need stable, programmatic access to Google Voice, you must use a paid Google Workspace enterprise account. Google provides official developer support through the ⁠Google APIs Client Library for .NET hosted on GitHub. This allows you to interact with Google Workspace SDKs reliably and securely via official OAuth 2.0 tokens. 2. For Desktop App Wrappers (UI Only)

If you aren’t looking for a code library but simply want a desktop client to use Google Voice outside of a standard browser tab, look at modern Electron-based shells. Projects like the ⁠Google Voice Desktop App wrap the official web interface into a clean, themeable desktop application. 3. For Custom VoIP Programming (The Best Alternative)

If you want to build custom SMS bots, automated call routing, or phone integrations in .NET, do not use Google Voice. Instead, use a developer-first telecom platform.

Twilio C#/.NET SDK: The industry standard for programmatically sending text messages and managing calls.

SignalWire .NET SDK: A highly cost-effective alternative to Twilio for building custom VoIP applications.

What specific feature (like automated SMS, call forwarding, or a custom UI) are you trying to build with Google Voice? If you share your end goal, I can recommend the exact library or tool to use.
