Yes!

If you have a personal Google Voice account:

  • Unlock your Google Voice number(s) by visiting Google Voice.

  • At the top right, click Settings

  • Go to the “Account” section.

  • Under the Google Voice number you wish to port out, click Unlock.

  • Email [email protected] or text (415) 849-4349 with a screenshot that shows the status of the number as “Unlocked”

If you are using Google Voice as a part of a Google Workspace,

Step 1: Get a PIN or code for your port-out request

  1. Your current account might not have permission to do these steps. To continue, make sure you're signed in to an administrator account. Learn more

  2. In the Admin console, go to Menu > Apps> Google Workspace > Google Voice.

  3. Click Number porting.

  4. On the Number porting page, click Port-out info.
    In the Port-out info window, you get the code to validate requests.

  5. Share this code with our team at [email protected] or text (415-849-4349).

  6. Click Close.

We'll confirm with you once we've received this & let you know when we've started the process! Porting can take our provider about 2 weeks to complete.

Please note that porting any number will result in the loss of voice functionality on that number, as Textline does not have voice capabilities. However, you can always set up call forwarding to the voice line of your choice!
