Google Voice is a platform that provides phone numbers and calling services, allowing users to obtain a virtual phone number for making and answering calls, sending text messages, and more.

How to obtain a number on Google Voice

1. Login or register a Google account: If you do not already have a Google account, you need to first register one. If you already have a Google account, simply log in.

2. Visit Google Voice: Visit the official website of Google Voice in the browser: voice.google.com.

6. Verify SMS or phone: Google Voice will send a SMS containing a verification code to the existing phone number you provide, or make an automatic voice call to play the verification code. Enter the verification code to complete the verification.

7. Set up voice email and greetings: Once your number is successfully verified, you can choose to set up a voice email welcome message to play when answering calls.
