Porting your Number from Google Voice

Have a number already that you'd like to use as your Sideline number? To help you out, we put together a guide for everything you'll need to successfully port your number from Google Voice.

What's Sideline? Sideline is a Google Voice alternative that adds a 2nd number to your current phone for just $9.99/month.

Once you have created your Sideline account, chosen a temporary Sideline number, and unlocked your Google Voice number, go to Number Porting in the Sideline Settings.

There is a one time $3 fee (charged Google Voice) to transfer your number away from Google voice.

To unlock your number:

1. Go to www.google.com/voice/unlock, and sign into your Google account
2. Click Unlock my number
   • If you have more than one number, select the number you want to port from the dropdown menu, then click Unlock my number
3. Click Continue to confirm
4. Sign into Google Wallet to complete your transfer our process 

Here's everything you'll need: 

Account Number

• Use your 10-digit Google Voice number as your account number.

PIN

• Your PIN is what you use to access your Google Voice voicemail from a different phone.
• If you don't have a PIN set up, you should create one before requesting a port into Sideline.
