I'm a computer person, but not familiar with VOIP and especially not GV. My goal is to have the GV phone number to make and receive calls and NOT tie it to any other phone number. I don't have a land line at all and I don't want to use my pay-per-minute cell phone number for the VOIP calls.
I thought VOIP took the place of any other phone lines, either cell or land line. While signing up for GV, it asks for what I think is the phone number than people will call to get me on my VOIP phone. I think it is saying that I am required to have the VOIP phone forwarded from some other number, either an active cell or active land line. I tried to enter the number I chose in GV, but it insists that I use a cell or land line number.
That seems to stop the goal of cutting out the cell and the land line. As you can see, I'm totally lost. Tried to search for similar posts here, but I don't even know what to search for. Tried reading some posts, but none seem to want to cancel all their cell and land line and only use GV. Watched several tutorals also, but they didn't address this.
Help, please.
