Create new google voice account
Here's a step-by-step guide to creating a new Google Voice account:
Prerequisites:
- You need a Google account (if you don't have one, create a new one).
- You need a valid phone number (mobile or landline).
Step 1: Go to the Google Voice website
Open a web browser and go to voice.google.com.
Step 2: Sign in with your Google account
Click on the "Sign in" button in the top right corner of the page. Enter your Google account credentials (email and password) to sign in.
Step 3: Verify your phone number
Google Voice will ask you to verify your phone number. You can either:
a. Enter your phone number and receive a verification code via SMS or voice call. b. Use a Google Voice app on your mobile device to receive a verification code.
Step 4: Choose your Google Voice number
Once your phone number is verified, you'll be asked to choose a Google Voice number. You can either:
a. Choose a new number from Google Voice's pool of available numbers. b. Port an existing phone number to Google Voice (if available in your area).
Step 5: Set up your Google Voice account
Fill out the required information, including:
- Your name and email address.
- A password for your Google Voice account.
- Your time zone.
Step 6: Set up your voicemail
You can set up your voicemail by recording a greeting and setting up your voicemail PIN.
Step 7: Start using Google Voice
You can now start using Google Voice to make calls, send texts, and receive voicemails. You can also use the Google Voice app on your mobile device or computer to manage your account.
Tips and Variations:
- You can use Google Voice to make international calls at a lower rate than your regular phone plan.
- You can also use Google Voice to send and receive texts, as well as make video calls.
- If you're porting an existing phone number to Google Voice, you may need to wait for the porting process to complete before you can start using your new Google Voice number.
That's it! You should now have a new Google Voice account set up and ready to use.
