Two ways to get your Google Voice (personal) number to your agent. Forwarding keeps Google Voice (personal) as your phone company and sends calls over. Moving the number (porting) makes Answering Agent your phone company for that number.

​
Forward calls

1

Open voice.google.com and click Settings

Top right.
2

Add Maggie’s number as a linked number

Account, then Linked numbers, then New linked number.
3

Verify it

Google calls the number with a code. Enter it and click Verify.
4

Turn forwarding on for that number

Calls, then Call forwarding. Turn off the others you do not want ringing.
5

Call your business number from another phone

We are listening for it.
6

Call your business number from another phone

Answering Agent listens for the call. When your agent picks up, the phone numbers step in your dashboard turns green.
Google Voice (personal) does not publish a dial code for forwarding. Use the steps above.

​
Good to know

  • Destinations must be verified linked numbers, up to 6.
  • Google states forwarding to an automated system is unsupported on personal Voice; if verification fails, move the number instead.

​
Move your number

Start the move from Dashboard, then Phone numbers, then Add a number, and choose Move my number. Upload your latest bill and we read the details for you. Have these ready:
Do not cancel your service with Google Voice (personal) until the move is complete. A cancelled number can be lost.

​
Watch out for

  • Do not delete the Google Voice number once the port starts.
  • Some services do not accept numbers that originated at Google Voice.
