After Uninstalling Google Voice, I cannot receive phone calls, busy signal I had Google Voice installed, but it was a very obtrusive and annoying application. For example it one day starts stealing text messages and requires me to press a 1 to receive the call, neither of these "features" can be disabled in the Google Voice settings on the phone.

Since the only feature I ever used with GV was voicemail transcription, the cons overweighed the pros, and I figured it's time to uninstall.

I uninstalled the app, went to the google voice webpage, and disabled google voice there. Now, I am unable to receive phone calls. The caller is greeted with a busy signal.

The google voice number was set to my actual phone number.
I was able to resolve the issue by calling Sprint and having them fix it on their end. Looks like GV doesn't properly give the phone number back when you remove the service from your phone on their website and dial *38.
