This evening Google announced that users who signed up for Google Voice “lite” (keep your existing number) can now upgrade to the full service… a Google Voice number of their choosing. I strongly recommended picking a number upon signup because you can always forward your unanswered calls to your Google Voice voicemail and receive transcriptions, thus simulating the “lite” service. If you missed my advice or did not follow it, you’re now in luck.
To upgrade, click “Settings” and then click “Get a Google Number.” You can choose not to switch to the new number by setting Google Voice to Do Not Disturb and forward your unanswered calls to the new Google Voice number (Verizon customers diall *73+Google Voice Number and to unforward just dial *73).
You can pick your area code and search the portfolio of numbers for one that you prefer. Pick a winner!
