Out of no where I was able to “repurchase” the number the Google Voice lost. Then all of a sudden on August 17th I went through my normal routine of searching on a semi hourly basis the Google Voice data base of numbers. So a couple of days went by, still no answer from any one at Google. Not only is the number not associated with your Google Voice account, but also, it is not associated with any Google Voice account. My number was associated with Google once again, previous to this a Google support forum volunteer claimed Google no longer had my number: I would check daily if Google Voice allowed me to re-add my number they lost and then all of a sudden it appears in their database. I was getting ready to give up, I tried every method I could to see what the status of the issue was, the support forum, Reddit, Twitter, everything I could think of.Īt the end of it all there was a glimmer of light. I was really thankful and excited that this would help resolve the issue in a timely manner.Ībout a week passed with out any updates, I emailed every one I knew and had them call me at a new temp number until this issue got resolved. It just so happens I was in luck, a Google employee saw it and sent the problem into the Google Voice bug system. I put together a post titled “So out of the blue Google voice lost my phone number today”, I had a glimmer of hope that some one would see it, and offer some advice. I have seen Google employees respond to questions in there on a few ocasions, I figured it’s worth a shot. Before I did that, I remembered the popular social site has a subreddit, r/Google. I assumed that getting my number back would be a lengthy process and was getting ready to just abandon the phone number altogether.
#RECOVER GOOGLE VOICE LOGIN HOW TO#
How to get a hold of Google Voice Support Serious issues such as lost numbers would have to be escalated to a Google employee, however there was no guarantee or way to verify anything. It appears that the Google voice support forum is manned by volunteers who have limited administrative abilities. I assumed they would resolve this issue within a couple of hours or maybe a day at worst.Īfter submitting the trouble ticket I looked around for other tickets with the same issue, I found a couple and realized that it could potentially be months before Google addressed the issue. I accepted that in order to resolve this issue I would have to resort to their support forum, my hope was that Google checked their support forums often. Reporting My Lost Number To The Google Voice Support Forum
No direct way to get a hold of Google Voice Support. The only way to report an issue with Google voice was to use their support forum. After looking around for close to half an hour I realized there wasn’t any way to directly get a hold of Google. I went searching through the Google voice support page to try to find an email address or phone number where I could get a hold of a Google voice rep. It took a few minutes for the initial shock to ware off, I reassured myself that it must be a simple mix-up and a quick phone call to Google Support would straighten everything out. How To Let Google Know They Lost My Number
This sign is printed on our front door with the same number: Well it happened, and just as I had about ten thousand business cards delivered with that number on them: Any time I read about some ones Google account being closed, or losing their Google docs data I dismissed it as something that could never happen. But I was so dreamy eyed about Google that I didn’t take the proper precautions. I read the warnings about not putting all of your eggs in one basket. This is what I was now seeing in my Google Voice panel: The main number would give callers a dead signal, and was no longer being shown within my Google Voice account. My ported number was then randomly changed to (619) 356-1170 on August 12th. I ported my main business line (414) 202-6605 over from Sprint to Google Voice on May 21st. However logging in around 5pm the number had suddenly vanished and changed to another number without any notice. I was able to log into Google Voice and check my messages at around 1pm that day. Google Voice lost my number August 12th, 2012, at around 5pm central time. My Story of When Google Voice Lost My Number
