How to set up a google voice account

by PVA AGENT PVA Agent




Google Voice is a Google’s voice over IP (VoIP) system that has served as a convenient way in order to add a second phone number to your mobile device. Though Google Voice serves as a Code or second personal number, this provider also works with your existing mobile or landline setup. Additionally, it permits users to forward calls they receive over the internet to your device. To stay connected, you don’t have to hand over your mobile number to every app, mailing list, social network, or new person. All you need to do is create Google Voice and enjoy its features.
