Porting Landline to Google Voice Made Easy

Google Voice won't let you port your landline number directly, but there's a simple

workaround. First, port your number to a prepaid mobile carrier like T-Mobile

or AT&T. Once it’s officially a mobile number, *then* you can port it to Google Voice.

It costs a $20 fee to Google, plus the prepaid SIM. It’s a two-step

process, but it's the only way to get that cool vanity number working on your

Google account.
