Does it have to be google voice? There are other free options
It takes only five steps to get a Google Voice number while you do not live in USA:
Congratulations, now you have Google Voice and you don't have to live in USA.
Are you asking just because you don't have a US number to verify the signup? Sign up for a VoIP service that has a DID (a real phone number) and use that when signing up?
or make friends with people in the USA and ask them to do it.
Hushed sells lifetime numbers on stacksocial for under $20 from time to time. It comes with 6000 SMS and 1000 minutes of call.
They will usually recognize VOIP numbers so it's not that easy. In addition they can often tell (much better than others) when you're using VPN/proxies/datacenter IPs. They're Google.
Although it's still possible it can be a very frustrating process
I see numbers for sale under $10
In that case... Buy a US prepaid SIM card (whichever carrier is cheapest), get someone to send it to you, and use international roaming. Sometimes you can find them online for international shipping (for people preparing to travel to the USA).
Where? monthly price?
Check out the for sale section at blackhatworld
It would be more convenient if there was a low cost service for receiving SMS
you can get one for $5-6
Order sim from here(free to anywhere) https://mysimportal.com/order/wystc
Put in some spare unlocked cellphone
Activate sim (it's valid for 12h to recieve sms for free)
Connect to USA VPN, make a google account on VPN and sign up for google voice via VPN
Now you can also transfer the number to your regular google account from the new USA account
Free? Sounds too good to be true
Google Voice number is not "for life".
If you idle a number for 3 months (no outbound call), it gets recycled.
Moreover, Google LLC can deadpool at any time, possibly before your death.
Internet advertising is a bubble.
When this bubble bursts, there would be no more Google, and Google Voice goes with it.
This isn't a matter of "if", but a matter of "when".
My primary phone number (you can see it on https://yoursunny.com/m/ ) is Google Voice, but I make it clear to my contacts that they should check my webpage to determine my then-current phone number.
When Google deadpools, I only need to update my webpage.
To activate the sim you have to pay $35 per month tho
I will port my number out to magicJack if it deadpools
How can you port a number from a deadpooled company when the deadpooled company has to confirm the porting?
File a complaint with the FCC
Can I port my IP address from a deadpooled VPS provider to a new provider, then?
A guaranteed high speed solution that will be handled flawlessly /s
No activate free just you can only recieve sms for 12h as I said. I didnt pay anything and got google voice
I didnt even have to give a credot card number or anything
I think it's against ToS to use GV outside of USA and canada.
If you G banned your gmail, then bye bye your GV number.
I don't see this clause in Google Voices terms.
If you find it, please point it out.
