You can also move your Google Voice number to another Google Account.

• Only your Google Voice number transfers to the new account.
• Your call history and voicemails don’t transfer to the new account.
• You can only transfer your number once every 4 months.

• A second Google Voice number to a Google Account that already has a Google Voice number.
• A Google Voice number to a Google Account that hasn't accepted the Google Terms of Service.

• Use the Google Account with your original Google Voice number.
• Only include the last 4 digits of your Google Voice number.

• If you already have a Google Voice number(s) and want to accept the number transfer, delete all the current Google Voice numbers. Then, in the "Transfer your number to another Voice account" section in "Account Settings," click Accept.
• If you don’t have a Google Voice account, register for a Google Voice account and skip the step "Select a Google Voice number."
• If you have multiple number transfer requests, you can accept only one number transfer. Other requests to transfer a number are declined.
