How ours are different

Why our US numbers work for Google Voice when VoIP numbers don't

Google Voice needs a real US mobile number to link your account, and rejects VoIP or app-generated ones. The numbers here are real-SIM, so Google treats them like an ordinary phone.

A VoIP or app number

Google rejects VoIP and app-generated numbers when you link a number to Google Voice, so the code never lands.

The real-SIM number here

These run on real US-carrier SIMs, so Google treats them like an ordinary phone and the code arrives.

Beyond whether the code arrives, the options differ on price and commitment:

Google Voice numbers compared: free, VoIP and a private 20-minute number

Commitment None Usually a month minimum None, just 20 minutes

Same number, other apps

What else people verify with a US number

People use a US +1 number to receive the sign-up code on apps that check the number's country. These are the common ones.

When a temporary number won't keep your Google Voice

A temporary number is for the one-time verification. You don't keep it afterwards, like any temporary number. Turn on two-step verification on the Google account with an authenticator app, so losing the number never locks you out. If Google later asks you to re-confirm the linked number, use a number you keep, such as a monthly rental.

FAQ

Google Voice in the USA: common questions

Can I get a temporary US phone number for Google Voice?
Yes. Choose a +1 number below, use it to receive the Google Voice code, and it expires after the window closes. You never buy a SIM and never hand over your own number.

Can I use Google Voice without my own number?
You enter a temporary +1 number here, receive Google's code in your browser, and finish setup without giving Google your own number.

What if the Google Voice SMS code doesn't arrive?
First check that Google Voice actually sent the SMS and that you typed the number with no space after +1. A real-SIM number usually takes the code on the first try; if it doesn't, swap it for a fresh one in one click. And if no code arrives within the 20-minute window, the money returns to your balance.

What if the number is already registered on Google Voice?
There's no way to check that before a number is issued. It's like a SIM you buy from a mobile operator, which can also turn out to be reused. If the one you get is already taken, swap it for a fresh one in one click, or let it expire and the money returns to your balance.

Will a US number work for WhatsApp, PayPal and other apps?
A real-SIM number receives the sign-up SMS the same way an ordinary phone does. Some apps re-check the number at every login rather than only at sign-up; for those a temporary number isn't the right fit, and a monthly rental that keeps the same number is.

Do I need to be in the USA to use the number?
No. You pick the US +1 number and read the code here, wherever you are. You don't need to be in the country.

Is using a virtual number for Google Voice legal in the USA?
Receiving your own verification code on a number you rent is a normal sign-up step. What matters to Google Voice is whether it is a real SIM, because VoIP numbers get rejected and ours don't.

Will I lose my Google Voice account when the number expires?
If Google later asks you to re-confirm the linked number, you need a number you keep. A monthly rental fits that, a temporary number doesn't.

How do I pay?
You pay at the checkout after you pick a number. Crypto adds no fee, while cards and the other methods add a few percent, so the top-up method changes the final price.
