Reclaim removed number long time ago

My number is removed 5 years ago, but nobody is using it. Is there any way Google voice can help me to reclaim it?

Hello john lou, thanks for your question and welcome to the free volunteer-staffed consumer version Google Voice forum.

Is there any way Google voice can help me to reclaim it?

You don't need any help to reselect your former number if it is currently available.

Log into Google Voice using a computer and if it prompts you to select a number, or you navigate to the select a Google number page, search for your former number and select it if it shows as being available.

I have same issue as john. When I call the old number it gives 3 busy signals then hangs up.
The link about Free Carrier lookup is broken

I, too, have the same issue. My previous Google Voice number is not in service (the call won't complete when I dial the number), but it doesn't show up as available. I'd like to reclaim it.
