This article explains how to get a phone number from Google. You can use your Google Voice number 1-888-570-1595 or or 1-888-707-4111 on Android, iOS, or in a web browser.
How do I get a phone number from Google?
Before you create a Google number (888-570-1595), you must already have a Google account and a number with a traditional phone service (either a landline or a mobile operator). To sign up for Google Voice and get your free phone number:
Go to the Google Voice page. Select For personal use and choose Android, iOS, or Web. No matter which option you select, you can use the number from any of your devices after you set it up.
Sign in to your Google account if prompted and agree to the terms of service.
Start typing an area code or city in the search bar, then choose Select next to the number you want from the list.
Select Verify, enter the phone number you want to link, then select Send Code.
Google will send you a text message with a code. Enter the code, then select Verify again.
Select Finish. You can now make calls and send text messages with your Google Voice number.
How does a Google phone number work?
Go to the Google Voice page whenever you want to call from your web browser or use the Google Voice app. When someone calls your Google number, the call is forwarded to your linked phone number. However, the caller will not see your phone number, so you effectively have two numbers for one phone.
Similarly, you can have your Google Voice number ring on multiple phones, so you have several options for handling communications. In addition to free nationwide calls and texts, Google Voice supports group messaging, voicemail transcription, and more.
