Google Voice 2025: How to Register and Keep Your Account Active

Google Voice is a very convenient tool for those with business needs. However, in recent years, the registration requirements have gradually tightened, especially in terms of network environment and account review. Many people find that they are unable to register or that their registration expires quickly. This article will help you find the reasons for registration failure and tips for maintaining your account after registration!

I. Google Voice Registration Process

1. Preparation before registering Google Voice

• US IP environment: This must be guaranteed. Given the current difficulty in registering Google Voice, if you do not use a high-purity native US residential IP, you will basically have no chance of successfully registering. The proxy I used for my personal registration was IPFoxy, which has high purity and simulates the network environment used by real people, so there will be no problem in subsequent account use.

  

• Google Account: A new Google account or one that has not been linked to Google Voice is required. The account must be in normal status and have no risk control records. It is recommended that the account be registered for more than one week.

• US phone number: Registration requires binding a US local number that can receive a verification code (it is recommended to use a real number that can be unbound once). Please note that virtual numbers cannot be registered

2. Registration Process

• After visiting the GV official website, click to log in, enter the Google account and password you prepared in advance, and then you can start selecting a number. It is recommended to choose a number from a mainstream operator.

• Next is to verify your mobile phone number. If you are using a temporary number for the code receiving platform, it is recommended to remove it after successful registration to avoid other problems later.

• After successfully binding your mobile number, the Google Voice number can be used on the web or mobile app.

There may be various problems during the registration process. I have summarized them in the following table. If you encounter any problems, you can analyze and solve them according to the specific situation:

II. Tips for maintaining a Google Voice account

Aside from the strict environment requirements, it seems that registering for Google Voice is not very difficult. However, don't be careless after successfully registering. If used improperly, it can easily lead to the recycling of your Google Voice number. Therefore, remember to follow the following steps to manage your number after registration:

1. Active accounts

• Google Voice officially stipulates that if a number is not used to make calls or receive messages within three months, it will be recycled. Therefore, after obtaining the number, remember to make calls or send text messages every three months. You can call some free numbers in the United States, such as the customer service numbers of major brands, but remember to dial

• At present, many people keep their accounts active by calling or sending text messages to each other. In addition to purchasing or registering multiple accounts, you can also find a partner to call online. However, it is recommended to pay attention to safety.

2. Avoid high-frequency operations

• Although the account needs to be active, it should not be operated too frequently. It is sufficient to dial the account every 2-3 days in the early stage of registration. Frequent dialing after registration can easily trigger account risk control.

• Avoid high-risk behaviors such as spam text messages and bulk registrations, and make at least one inbound or outbound call per week

3. Keep your account environment secure

• 2FA (two-factor authentication) linked to a Google account, used occasionally at different times to simulate real user habits

• Do not switch regions or devices frequently, and do not associate with a banned Google account. It is recommended that the account login IP address should be consistent with the one used during registration.

  

III. Summary

When using a Google Voice account, even if you have successfully registered, you must be especially careful in how you use it and avoid crossing the red line of the rules. I hope this article can help you solve the problems of registering and maintaining a Google Voice account!
