It is unclear if this issue has been fixed in recent iOS 7.1 beta build. According to a well connected iOS Developer, Apple would release iOS 7.1 GM build in the coming weeks.

Google+ Hangouts for iOS gained Google Voice integration back on October 18, 2013 while its Android counterpart is still without this feature.
This sure infuriated some hardcore Android users; their comments unintentionally become comedy gold.
According to Nikhyl Singhal, a Google Employee:
- Finally, we want to make Google Voice as secure as possible. There are a few third-party applications that provide calling and SMS services by making unauthorized use of Google Voice. These apps violate our Terms of Service and pose a threat to your security, so we’re notifying these app developers that they must stop making unauthorized use of Google Voice to run their services and transition users by May 15, 2014.
Reading between the lines, there seems to be an inherent security issue in Android Platform and/or Google Voice. If not, Google would have already deployed Google Voice integration within Hangouts for Android.
I want Google Voice integration within Hangouts on my Nexus 4; and so does my colleague with his Nexus 5. I guess we all still have to wait.
As reported by many sites, Apple seeds iOS 7.1 beta 5 build 11D5145e to Developers on Tuesday, February 4, 2014.
Typically, iOS beta would be released after 6 or 7 builds on two-week release schedule. Anyone can make an educated guess that iOS 7.1 is likely to be released sometimes in March 2014.
