Anybody have any experience porting a verizon landline to google voice, and what would be the steps that I need to take? Thanks

That's kinda hard you would need to talk to verizon . The hard part is porting your'e # over.

May be too late for this but here goes anyway...I had this same problem, ATT landline, GV would NOT port it over, only if it was with cell phone service provider. I found and old cell phone in my drawer, went to MetroPCS (or any No-Contract) service provider, ported my ATT landline phone (yes I had to pay for 1 month service with cell phone svc provider!) Once my home phone was ported, I was able to immediately port it from MetroPCS to GoogleVoice. Absolutely worth it, as I've had my home tel nbr for years and the kids had it memorized etc.

You can transfer to pay per use wireless provider like pageplus, buy $10 credit. It will take couple of days to transfer to pageplus. From pageplus you can easily transfer to google voice.

The phone itself registers several SIP accounts and one analogue line. You would need an Obi adapter (FXS port) to use Google Voice. I've heard rumours that that service, on the adapter, may be ending at some point.

Yes you can. I had the same situation. You can actually call Verizon to change phones.

ACTUALLY, NO! You could use VoIP instead of a landline. Get an OBI box, compatible with Google Voice (create an account and get a phone number in your area code) and connect to your phone and then to your router. Turns a landline phone into a VoIP phone and uses your ethernet router to place calls. No landline required.

You can definitely port numbers to VoIP services that support porting. Services such as Callcentric, Voip.ms and FutureNine all support porting landline and mobile numbers to their services.Today, Google Voice will only port mobile numbers to their service. Therefore, you will need to port your Vonage number to a mobile service and then port it to GV.See the user forum at the Obihai web site for more details on porting.

No. You can transfer your contacts from Google email, but not Voice. You can forward your Voice number calls to the Ooma number and handset if desired.

This adapter let your home phone network to connect to the external telephone network via the broadband connection. So, if you already have regular phone (any type including cordless), then you can use those phones to make calls as you would normally do. If your home phone network is currently connected to a land-line phone network (such as AT&T;/Verizon/etc) then you will have to disconnect it first before connecting to this adapter. On the other hand, if you already have VOIP phone connection (such as the one provided by you cable company or Vonage and others) then you can replace them with google voice. Beware of the fact that google voice does not provide 911 support. This adapter let your home phone network to connect to the external telephone network via the broadband connection.

I did not run into any restrictions. However, I have heard that Nettalk will soon no longer work with Google Voice.

Well with the news out today that Verizon won't allow the Google Wallet NFC system, it's pretty much a given that you should avoid the Verizon version and buy an unlocked gsm one. Verizon fails again...

I actually haven't done this, but I don't know any reason why it wouldn't work. I had landline telephone service (POTS-Plain Old Telephone Service) from the local telephone company (Verizon in my case). I brought a new cell phone and went through the process of rolling over the my landline telephone number to the new cell phone, a process that can take a few days. Once the new cell phone became active with my old number, the landline connection, naturally, went dead because there was no longer a phone number associated with that connection. I then went outside to the telephone network connection box on the side of the house and disconnected my home telephone wiring from the telephone network (an important step!), depending on your home's wiring you may also need to connect wires coming from the house to keep all the RJ-11 ports connected. I then connected the Xlink to the home telephone wiring (just plugged it into one of the RJ-11 ports in the house) and the Xlink now "charges" all the RJ-11 ports around the house (only 3 in my case). With the cell phone connected to the Xlink via Bluetooth any phone (and every phone) that would of worked with my landline service will ring when the cell phone receives an incoming call and can pick up the call. I have noticed that the phones do not start ringing until after the second ring (that is, the caller will hear a ring before your phones actually start ringing), but everything otherwise works just like I was still connected to POTS. It's just a lot less expensive in my case (I'm using prepaid cell phone service for this). Where I believe some people have problems with this is in their home telephone wiring and I would suggest you get someone to help you figure out your wiring if you don't understand basic telephone wiring.

Gvmate uses Google Voice. I checked the Google Voice to see if it could be done. It can be done. See here: https://support.google.com/voice/answer/1065667?hl=en It does cost US$20 it appears. I have not done it. It just appears that it can be done. It could get interesting if Google Voice changes their terms of service sometime in the future. (Right now the service is FREE inside the US.) HTH.

You simply port your number over to it or they will give you a new number when sign up for google voice and then they can call you. You can also use the Obi on lots of other Voip services as well.

Yes, you can port your existing number to PhonePower. I did the same when I switched to PhonePower. They will guide you through the phone number porting process.

I have set up VoIP phone access with it with NO problem! (it's now a phablet?!). Home # via GV > OBi100/Vestalink, then N7 via the Cloud Softphone app, (linked with Vestalink), and as a backup/alternate, I also have GV available on it, (via G+/Hangouts app). I am really happy about that and BTW, they both work *really* great on the N7!-A
