First, open the Google Voice website. Click the three lines in the top left corner and select “Settings”.
Under “Phones”, find the number you want to unlink and click “Delete”. Click “OK” in the pop-up window.
That’s it! The number will be unlinked from your Google Voice account.
What happens if I delete my Google Voice number?
If you delete your Google Voice number, then your voice and text messages will stop being forwarded to the number you designated for them. The voice and text messages that were already forwarded to that number will be stored online until you delete those messages from the web or download them as an .mp3 file.
In addition, if you change or disconnect your phone service provider, we’ll cancel your Google Voice account automatically because of “duplicate subscriber” issues.
How long can you keep a Google Voice number?
People who sign up for Google Voice are given a phone number that operates like a regular cell phone. However, the voice aspect is only one part of the service. People who sign up can also receive text messages, voicemails, and instant messages through this virtual line. The account also comes with a fair amount of storage space, where people can store their contacts, photos, and other information that they might want to keep handy while not on their computer.
Can you get a second Google Voice number?
Google Voice is a free service that gives you a number that you can use for calls to other lines, texts, voicemails and more. The upside of Google Voice is the ability to have one phone number for your whole life. The downside is the inability to port your number from one device (like a cell) without having to pay ETFs on the new line.
What can someone do with your Google Voice number?
There are a few ways that someone can use your Google Voice number. First, they can contact you if you have an active Google Messenger account and they need to reach an answer from you. If you don’t have an account, the chances of them contacting are slim due to the strict verification requirements for voice calls. If they do manage to get through to you, they will be able to read your texts and record messages if needed.
You can also block calls from anyone who is not on your Google Voice account. If someone is calling you on a non-Google voice number and does not have explicit permission to use this number, they will receive a busy signal.
If you have blocked the call, they may be able to leave instructions for callback (for example, in the case of a stalker).
