Enhance Your Privacy with a Virtual Phone Number for Google Voice
Google Voice provides a secondary phone number for calling, text messaging, and voicemail. Ironically, to sign up for a Google Voice number, you first need to link and verify an existing phone number. Using a temporary phone number for this initial verification is an advanced privacy tactic to create a more anonymous secondary line.
Create a Truly Separate Communication Line
The goal of getting a Google Voice number is often to separate communications. By using a disposable phone number for the initial verification, you avoid linking your primary, real-life number to your new Google Voice account from the outset. This creates a stronger layer of separation, ensuring your new number is not easily traceable back to your original one, which is ideal for business, online selling, or private communications.
Maximize Your Anonymity
For users who require a high degree of privacy, this method is essential. You use one temporary number to acquire another, more permanent virtual number. This layering technique obscures the origin of your Google Voice number, providing a much higher level of anonymity than using your everyday cell phone number for verification. It’s a key step for creating a private digital persona.
A Secure Foundation for a Versatile Tool
Using a virtual number to set up Google Voice ensures the foundation of your new communication channel is secure and private. It prevents your primary number from being stored in Google's systems as the "forwarding" or "verified" number for that account. This gives you greater control over your data and allows you to use the powerful features of Google Voice with the confidence that you have prioritized your privacy from step one.
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can. SMSFAST allows you to rent multiple virtual numbers, meaning you can use a unique number for each GoogleVoice account.
First, double-check that you've copied the SMS code precisely as it appeared in your SMSFAST account and entered it correctly into GoogleVoice. Also, ensure the number you used is still active and within its valid time frame.
If the issue persists, the number might have been flagged by GoogleVoice. In such cases, we recommend simply renting a new temporary phone number and repeating the registration process.
There may be a slight delay in network delivery at times. Please give it a minute or two.
- Request resend: On the GoogleVoice interface, look for the option to resend the code. This often prompts a new SMS message to be sent to your number.
- Ensure you are actively viewing the SMSFAST interface for the specific virtual number you rented, as the SMS message will appear there.
