Hi, this is a new question.

At Google Voice when getting the new GV number they ask: "To complete setup and start using Google Voice, you need to verify your existing phone number" and after clicking "verify", they ask "Enter a number to link, Inbound calls to your Google Voice number will be forwarded to this number".

My question is: among the many numbers I have, which one do I input?
 a working cell number I'm currently using? (it's also connected to google voice via hangouts on another google account) I do have a separte gv number, but on a different google mail account.
the old landline number that is now ported and working successfully on T-mobile? etc.?

Thank you!





Hi, and welcome to OBi-land!

I am guessing that your goal is to port the former landline/now T-Mobile number to Google Voice?  If so, and the Google account into which you want to port your number currently has no Google Voice number.  Is that correct?  If so, the 2018 Google Voice number porting workflow requires that you first obtain one of Google Voice's free phone numbers (it doesn't matter where in the USA that number is located).  After doing that, using the new Google Voice website:  https://voice.google.com, then you can go into the old, "Legacy" Google voice website, and you'll see a link to port in your T-Mobile number.  When asked to link and verify a phone number, submit that T-Mobile number.  You cannot use the linked number on your other Google Voice account to do this.

Okay, we're part-way there :-)

So, which number to I input when they ask "To complete setup and start using Google Voice, you need to verify your existing phone number"  >Enter a number link?

Thank you.

Thank you.


I.E., are they asking for the old landline number now on T-mobile?

I answered that question above.  Yes, enter the now-T-Mobile number.
