Transfer your Google Voice number

You can also move your Google Voice number to another Google Account. 

• Only your Google Voice number transfers to the new account. 
• Your call history and voicemails don’t transfer to the new account.
• You can only transfer your number once every 4 months.

You can’t transfer:

• As Google Voice is intended for use in the US, number transfer requests must be done while in the US.
• A second Google Voice number to a Google Account that already has a Google Voice number.
• A Google Voice number to a Google Account that hasn't accepted the Google Terms of Service.
• A Google Voice number if you've recently deleted a number and got a new number.
  • Tip: Before you can transfer a number, you must wait 90 days.
• A Google Voice number that’s:
  • Unlocked
  • Reserved for a voice partner application
• To another Google Voice account that already accepted 3 transfer requests within a 12-month period.
• From a Google Voice account that:
  • Has recently deleted a Google Voice phone number.
  • Already has a pending number transfer request.
  • Has sent out one successful request within a 4-month period.
  • Has held the transferring number for less than 3 months.
• Your account information, including your:

   • You can check the number transfer progress in the "Transfer your number to another Voice account" section.
   • Before the transfer finishes, to cancel the number transfer request, you can click Cancel the request.
6. After the transfer finishes, in the new Google Voice account, add the new number.

If you already tried to transfer your number, but your number doesn’t work, create a post on the Google Voice Help Forum. When you post:
