How to Use Google Voice

Google Voice is a free service from Google that provides you with an additional phone number. You can use Google Voice for personal or business use.
One of the benefits of Google Voice is the option of selecting a number. You can search by your area and select the area code for your phone number that matches your cellphone area code.
You can sign up for Google Voice and claim your phone number on the web, Android app, or iOS app for iPhones.

Thanks for this informative video. I'm looking for a way to receive text messages from my US cell phone number when I am traveling internationally. I have a Galaxy S23 with eSIM and Verizon service with Google Messages for text messages from that cell number. This time I bought a Colombia SIM card, which was amazingly cheap, about $8 for 20 days talk and data. Previously when traveling, I didn't buy a local SIM and just used wifi-calling and texting with my US number (obviously couldn't make local calls nor use the phone when I was away from wifi). With the wifi calling, I was able to receive voice calls and text messages from the US. This time, with my US eSIM turned off, I couldn't receive calls nor texts from the US, even when I turned off the local SIM. Why not? How would this be different from having my phone on airplane mode (which I assume basically turns off your SIM)? I use WhatsApp for texting but not all my US friends do so (and some apps want to send a text message to verify it's you) and I want to be able to see text messages from home when needed. Would Google Voice solve this issue if I forwarded my US phone number to Google Voice??? THANKS

Thanks for this great video. I am aware the video is old, but I would like to know how Google Voice handles service compatibilities with different network types. For example, how would my Google Personal Voice service handle calls to and from other networks including landline & mobile as well as Voice over IP (VoIP) services such as WhatsApp and similar applications? I am particularly interested in how the communication data is carried and paid for. You have mentioned using a different carrier, but that was not very clear to me, so if you can explain a bit more. Thanks.

How do I make calls from my Google number

[@justingarcia6615]

When you receive a call does it come from the app or the phone (in case of mobile) can you tell when it is from your cell or the app?

[@BneiAnusim]

On the settings, there is an option where you add your phone number so when someone calls the google number, google sends the call to your phone. You just add your google number to your contact and name it Google, or something else for you to know someone is calling you with the google number.

[@seiph80]

In my case, in the settings, under Making and receiving calls, I have the option "Prefer Wi-Fi and mobile data" selected, so when someone calls my Google number, the actual Google Voice app pops up and I know how to answer appropriately. If you select the option "Use carrier only" it will come to your regular device's phone app, so in essence if you use that option you won't know if they're calling your personal number or Google number.
