How to get a new GV phone number...?
rggg:
I've done it before and even saved the instructions I got from this forum, but now cannot find the page in GV that does it...! Here's the instructions:
<<Go to your Google Voice settings page and click on Change/Port and then the button "I want a new number".>>
Now I go to a GV settings page and don't find either of those buttons... I find my existing number and next to it 2 buttons, one labelled DELETE and one labelled TRANSFER. Don't think I'm in the right place...
Thanks..!

You need to revert to "Legacy Google Voice." It is under "Settings" as you click the three vertical dots to pull out the left menu window. Once in Legacy, the original options should be there under Settings/Phones.

Nope, never can I get a page which shows my phone number and "Change/Port". Can only bring up the one with my number beside "DELETE" and "TRANSFER" buttons. I think I have brought up both the New GV and the Legacy GV pages, but not sure which is which because Google does not label them AT ALL as far as I can see...!
The only set of three vertical dots that I see on the upper right gets me to settings, but it is a settings window on the RIGHT side, and when I click "settings" there, it brings up settings for Chrome, not GV...
I have yet to see any way to get a new number.
Also, I am not really sure I am am even getting my GV Account page up, since I don't really know what it should look like. Can anyone show me a URL that would bring up my GV Account page...?
Thanks...!

Are you saying you don't see "Change/Port" right next to your Google Voice number?

Perhaps some pictures may help. The first is the 3 vertical dots that is on the left side of the new Google Voice screen. The second is windows that come out of the left side when you click on the 3 vertical dots. It has the option to revert to the Legacy Google Voice screen on the bottom of that window (or use Taoman's link). The third picture is the old Google Voice screen. To get to the Phones tab, you need to click the gear icon on the upper right hand side of the old Google Voice screen, then click on Settings, then Phones.
