How to Port Out of Google Voice to Another Carrier
Porting your number out of Google Voice is straightforward once you unlock it for transfer. Whether you're switching to a mobile carrier or moving to a business line, Google Voice makes it simple to take your number with you.
Steps to Port Out
Sign in to Google Voice
Go to voice.google.com and sign in with your Google account.
Access Transfer Settings
Go to Settings → Account → Transfer your number.
Unlock Your Number
Click Unlock next to your number (a $3 fee applies).
Get Your Account Details
Copy your account number (your Google Voice number) and PIN (last four digits of your account number unless changed).
Initiate the Port
Provide these details to your new carrier to initiate the port.
⏱️ Timeline
Transfers usually complete within 24–48 hours for mobile carriers. During the process, your Google Voice service will continue to work until the transfer finishes.
💡 Pro Tip
If your number was originally a Google Workspace (business) number, it must first be moved to a personal Google account before porting out.
