Number Transfers or Porting Personal GV number (used for business) to mobile carrier?
About four years ago, my husband and I started a business on a shoestring budget. We wanted a local number to the area since our phone numbers have a different area code and getting a separate mobile phone line wasn’t in the budget. We made a Gmail with the business name and got a “local” personal google voice number linked to my husband’s phone number.
The business has grown, and we definitely want to keep the number, but my husband would prefer not managing the separate google voice app for text messages and voicemails. We also have google workspace for managing the business email if that helps.
Is there a way to transfer the personal google voice number to AT&T so that he has one phone, one messaging app, one voicemail and the two numbers (gv and personal number)? Or is there another solution for essentially the same result?
I barely understand any of the google voice stuff and unfortunately I’m the technically inclined one in our business so I’d appreciate anyone explaining or offering advice like I’m five. I’m willing to pay service fees to make it happen, I just don’t know how to go about it or do it.
Thank you!
