Google voice questions

Post by Xmann »

I'm considering adding a Google voice number to my wife's phone for a side business opportunity in order to save having to buy another phone.

I'm looking at the instructions and what not, so I guess my question is, Is it really that simple? I download the app and follow set up instructions and boom, it's done?

Anything else I should consider? This would just be for forwarding calls to her cell that come for the business.

Yeah, pretty much. It will also voice-to-text any voicemail you get and use the app to dial-out and it'll not even show your original phone's caller ID. Even SMS goes into a separate inbox.

The only catch is some places that uses phone number to verify will not accept Google Voice numbers, but you probably won't run into those.

i will disagree and say that it _is_ likely - i have run into more than a few sites that would not accept the usage of my GVoice number for verifications.

Well, Xmann did say it's for a secondary number.
