How to Safely Get a Google Voice Number (and Why Buying Accounts Is Risky)

People often want an extra phone number fast. Maybe you want a second line for business, privacy, or to separate work from personal calls. That’s understandable — a second number can feel like a digital privacy superhero cape. But before you rush to “buy a Google Voice account,” let’s walk through the safe way to get what you need, why buying accounts is a bad idea, and what legal and practical alternatives exist. This guide is written for anyone — even an eighth grader — so the steps are clear and practical.

Buying an account sounds tempting because it looks fast and cheap. People usually want: a ready-made verified number, multiple numbers without setting up many accounts, or an account with history already attached. It seems like skipping hassle. But many shortcuts have hidden traps.

I will not provide a list of websites that sell Google Voice accounts. Here’s why. Selling or buying Google Voice accounts generally violates Google’s Terms of Service and often involves recycled or hijacked phone numbers. Those accounts are frequently tied to stolen emails, fake verifications, or methods that bypass normal security. Sharing a list of sellers would help people perform activities that are unsafe, breach service agreements, and may enable scams or identity misuse.

Instead of a list of sellers, below I offer safe, legal alternatives and step-by-step instructions so you can get a clean Google Voice number or an alternative virtual number without breaking rules.

Listing sellers would enable rule-breaking and potentially criminal activity. It also puts you at risk of fraud, poor service, lost money, or having the account revoked — sometimes after you’ve already used it. I want to help you achieve your goal (an extra number) without the danger.

Here are the most common problems people face when they buy accounts:
– Account suspension or loss: Google can detect suspicious transfers and suspend the account, leaving you without service and without recourse.
– Scams and fraud: Sellers vanish after payment or sell the same account to multiple people.
– Tied to stolen identities: Accounts can be linked to hacked emails or numbers, which can lead to legal trouble.
– Security vulnerability: A bought account might have weak recovery options that let others take it back easily.
– Violation of terms: Using these accounts can jeopardize other Google services you use.

Google Voice is covered by Google’s Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policies. Those policies require truthful account ownership and may forbid transferring or reselling accounts. Breaking these terms can lead to permanent bans. In some cases — for example where fraud or identity theft is involved — laws may be violated, so the risk is more than just losing an account.

Buying an account may look like a civil contract, but if the account was created with false information or taken from someone else, it can be a component of identity theft or fraud. Even if the seller claims the sale is “legal,” the buyer often ends up operating outside the service’s rules. That’s why we avoid it.

If you want the benefits of a second number, here are responsible options that actually work and keep you out of trouble:

Google Voice lets you set up a secondary number quickly if you follow the normal process. Here’s a simple how-to:

– A Google account you control (email and password).
– A working phone number to link for verification (this can be your existing mobile number).
– Access to the internet and, if on mobile, the Google Voice app.

If you don’t already have one, go to accounts.google.com and create a new account. Use your real details and set up recovery options (backup email and phone). This helps protect the account long term.

On voice.google.com (or the Google Voice mobile app):
1. Sign in with your Google account.
2. Click “For personal use” and follow the prompts.
3. Search available numbers by city or area code.
4. Select a number and follow the verification steps. Google will require linking to a real phone number to confirm you’re a real person.

Google will call or text a verification code to your existing phone. Enter the code to confirm. Once verified, the Google Voice number will route calls and messages according to your settings. This official path keeps your account compliant and secure.

Some people need many virtual numbers for business, testing, or legitimate marketing. If that’s you, use these legal pathways:

Companies like Twilio, Plivo, Nexmo (Vonage), and SignalWire sell programmable phone numbers and APIs legally. They are designed for developers and businesses to buy multiple numbers, send SMS, and manage voice flows. They require identity verification and are suitable for legitimate business uses.

If your company needs phone services at scale, consider Google Workspace (with partner solutions) or cloud telephony providers. These vendors can provide verified business phone systems and numbers and support compliance and billing.

Whether you use Google Voice or a virtual number provider, follow these best practices to stay safe:

Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on every account. Set up recovery emails and recovery phone numbers, and keep them current. Use an authenticator app if possible instead of SMS-only 2FA.

If you hire help (e.g., a freelancer) to set up numbers, use reputable marketplaces (Upwork, Fiverr) and check ratings. Never transfer account ownership casually. Ask for a contract and keep communications on official platforms.

Sometimes people still get offered accounts. If you must evaluate an offer (preferably you won’t), do these checks first:

– Has the seller provided proof of ownership and identity?
– Does the account appear linked to other services (banking, social media)?
– Are there promises the number will be permanent? (That’s suspicious.)
– Do they accept only anonymous crypto payments or ask to use code-sharing tools?

If any of these guesses come up, walk away. It’s not worth the risk.

Q1: Can I buy a Google Voice account and be safe?
A: No — buying a Google Voice account is risky and likely violates Google’s terms. Use the official setup instead.

Q2: Why does Google require a phone number to verify a Voice account?
A: Verification prevents abuse, spam, and automated creation of accounts. It keeps the service working for legitimate users.

Q3: I need many numbers for testing — what should I do?
A: Use legitimate providers like Twilio or a cloud telephony service that supports multiple numbers and provides APIs and compliance.

Q4: Are there legal penalties for buying accounts?
A: Buying accounts often violates a provider’s terms; in extreme cases involving stolen identity or fraud, legal penalties can apply.

Q5: Can I transfer a Google Voice number legally?
A: Google Voice number porting (moving to/from carriers) has rules. Transfers between accounts or people are not generally supported. Check Google’s official documentation before attempting any transfer.

Q6: What if a seller promises a lifetime number?
A: That’s a red flag. No seller can guarantee lifetime access if the account violates Google’s rules.

Q7: Can virtual phone services replace Google Voice?
A: Yes. Many services provide reliable SMS and voice features, and they’re built for business and development use.

Q8: I paid for an account and it was banned — can I get a refund?
A: Often not. Many sellers disappear and platforms don’t help when terms are broken. That’s another reason to avoid buying.

Q9: How do I report a scam where someone sold me an account?
A: Contact your payment provider (credit card or PayPal) to dispute, report to the platform where the sale occurred, and if identity theft occurred, contact local authorities.

Q10: Is there a safe cheap option for a second number?
A: Yes — Google Voice itself is free for many personal uses. Low-cost virtual number providers also exist (Twilio, OpenPhone, Grasshopper) depending on features you need.

Buying Google Voice accounts from third parties may look fast, but it risks your money, your privacy, and your online access. The safer route is the official Google Voice setup or legitimate virtual number providers for business needs. Those options keep you compliant, secure, and in control. If your goal is a trustworthy second number, follow the steps above to create one the right way — it’s not just safer, it’s smarter.

If you want, I can now: walk you through creating a Google account and picking a Google Voice number step-by-step, or compare features and costs of legitimate virtual-number providers like Twilio, Plivo, OpenPhone, and Grasshopper (I’ll outline them without linking to sellers) — tell me which alternative you prefer and I’ll give clear stepwise instructions.
