Google Voice Help Needed
"We noticed that you haven't used your Google Voice number in a while. Because phone numbers are a limited resource, it is our policy to reclaim unused numbers so they can be made available to new users.
If you'd like to keep your Google Voice number, you will need to make calls or send text messages by November 15, 2011 by logging in to your account or using one of our mobile apps.
If you have been reluctant to use your Google Voice number because you didn't want to change your phone number, you may be interested to know that we recently launched the ability to port your existing mobile phone number to Google Voice. This means that you can take advantage of all of Google Voice's features, like one number that rings all of your phones, free text messages, and voicemail transcription -- without having to get a new phone number.
Here's my problem when I go to my G account and go to voice I get a pop-up that ask if "I want a new number" or "I want to use my mobile number".
I don't want a new number since my google number is somewhat special, so my only choice would be use my mobile number.
Is the mobile number they are asking for my google number or my cell number?
When I use my cell number, I get another pop-up that asks:
Available options for using your existing mobile number:
Port your mobile number to Google Voice.
Porting means that you move your number from your carrier to Google Voice. You can then use the full set of Google Voice features without having to change your number.
Get Google Voicemail for your existing mobile number
Keep your existing number with your carrier and get the lite version of Google Voice which includes some of the most popular features like online voicemail and voicemail transcriptions.
If I use my google number I get this pop-up:
Get Google Voicemail for your existing mobile number
Keep your existing number with your carrier and get the lite version of Google Voice which includes some of the most popular features like online voicemail and voicemail transcriptions.
Porting your mobile number to Google Voice is unavailable
Your mobile number can not be ported at this time.- We currently don't support porting from your carrier. We apologize and are working on adding support for more carriers.
All I'm looking to do is just keep my G number.
I'm hoping that someone has gone through this and can give me some direction.
Thanks,
Brian
