      i appreciate your attempt to help, but i really meant the word quagmired.

      porting the google number requires a phone plan w carrier; but i only use prepaid accounts between multiple carriers that change roughly every 6 to 12 months or so, depending on the price and whether or not they’ll support the unlock phones that i buy online. also: my current carrier will not accept a google voice number per their technical support people.

      and those companies rely on some sort of multi factor authentication and my experiences with forwarding teaches me that the forwarding doesn’t always go through in a timely enough manner.

        Why not just switch to another VoIP provider like jmp.chat then?

        I guess. I’ve never had any issue personally
