Problems with Google Voice setup (Maybe not appropriate here)
EllenL:
Snarky isn't required.
No one said it should be a free phone service, but expecting people to have multiple landline or mobile phone numbers to sacrifice on attempts that may or may not work and will then make that number impossible to use for any other account is problematic. In my lifetime I have only ever had three: one at my apartment in university, one in my apartment at graduate school, and one I have had in my home town for 20 years. That last number was recently ported to a VOIP. I also have one mobile number, and some other VOIP numbers.
I have nothing else to offer.
We did check and the number we first used was NOT a VOIP. As far as anyone knows, it has never been used as a GV - it has belonged to my brother for over 5 years at his office.
Not telling people the issue is extremely disrespectful of our time and our place as clients. If you are all so tired of answering the same questions a million times a day -- because I see how often it happens to people -- that you cannot do it without a touch of disgust, maybe consider that the responsibility for your weariness is the faulty system and not the client trying to problem solve. Had I been given an informative error message, I would have corrected the problem myself and NEVER been seeking any kind of assistance. Their "no service" approach is costing them a ridiculous amount of work hours to NOT answer people's questions.

Actually, I have to say that you're the one who is being obnoxiously entitled. I don't work for Google. I'm simply offering the most comprehensive explanation of THEIR rules. If you don't like their rules, then GTFO.
