Are you living in Canada and want to use Google Voice? Unfortunately, Google Voice isn’t available in Canada. But don’t worry, with this step-by-step guide, you can use Google Voice in Canada.
First, you will need a VPN. You can use any VPN you want, but the tutorial recommends Hotspot Shield or Hide My IP (Hidemyass). Twilio, a cloud communications service, will give you a US number that you can forward to your phone. You will also need a Gmail account and the Google Voice app.
After downloading these programs, you may still not have the option to get a Google Voice number due to your Canada-based IP address. To fix this, you will need to use a VPN to obtain an American-based IP address. Once you have that, go to Twilio and create a free account.
Refresh your Google Voice page, and you should now have the option to get a free Google number. However, please note that Google Voice is only available in the US, and you will need to verify a US phone account to get the Google Voice number.
To get a free Google Voice number, you will need to forward your Twilio number to your phone. You can do this by configuring and linking the numbers in your Twilio dashboard. After linking the numbers, you can call your Google Voice number and choose an area code.
With these steps, you can now get a free Google Voice number in Canada. You can change your IP address back to Canada or use this newfound ability to watch Netflix.
