Transferring your phone number to Google Voice is an easy way to keep the number you already use while gaining the freedom to call and text from any device. Whether you're moving away from your current carrier or consolidating multiple lines, Google Voice turns your number into a flexible, cloud-based line that travels with you everywhere.
When your number lives inside Google Voice, your calls, texts, and voicemails are centralized in one simple inbox. You can forward calls to multiple phones, block spam, read automatic voicemail transcripts, and even link your number to Gmail or Google Workspace. It's ideal if you want a single, portable number that works online and across all your devices—without being tied to a SIM card or contract.
Your phone number must be active with your current carrier and from a U.S. mobile provider.
You'll need your account number and port-out PIN from your current carrier.
You must use a personal Google account — business or school accounts can't port numbers.
Google charges a one-time $20 fee to transfer your number. Payment is made through your Google account.
Google charges a one-time $20 port-in fee when you transfer your number to Google Voice. You can pay directly through your Google account using a credit or debit card. After this, there are no recurring fees unless you use Google Voice for business through Workspace.
Go to voice.google.com and sign in with your personal Google account.
Look for the option to port an existing number instead of getting a new Google Voice number.
Google will verify that your number can be transferred to their service.
Enter your account number, port-out PIN, and billing ZIP code, then pay the transfer fee.
Most transfers finish within 24 hours for mobile numbers. Once complete, your calls and messages will automatically route through Google Voice, and your old carrier account will close after the port finalizes.
Before starting, disable call forwarding or multi-line sharing on your current plan. This prevents errors and ensures your port completes without interruption.
Transfer your number to Google Voice today and enjoy the freedom of a cloud-based phone service that works everywhere.
