I have a google number. What app do I use and can I use this in Canada for free? I tried google hangouts but looks like they charge ? Also loaded google voice but can’t access the verification code they want to send.
Thanks
Thanks

lol what in the US the prepaid is almost always cheaper than postpaid. Plus without a US credit history, they'll ask you to put down a deposit when they check your credit.Killahbyte wrote: ↑Feb 12th, 2019 1:35 pmYa thats what i was talking about the prepaid is always more. Its the month to month plans i want to get on but they always require US ID.

Use the Google Voice app. The is wifi/data calling built into it now. No forwarding number or hangouts required. You need to download it from the US play store.trellaine201 wrote: ↑Feb 12th, 2019 1:49 pmI have a google number. What app do I use and can I use this in Canada for free?

So google voice app is different USA/Canada? Because I downloaded it from Canada and it wants a verification code.

Last time I checked it was not available in the Canadian store. You downloaded a different app if from the Canadian store.trellaine201 wrote: ↑Feb 12th, 2019 3:19 pmSo google voice app is different USA/Canada? Because I downloaded it from Canada and it wants a verification code.
Edit, here is a link to the app in the us store, but you might not be able to access it,

I did 
and kept asking for verification code. Maybe there different. I’ll try switching to USA store and download the app. See if it makes a difference.

Maybe it's in the Cdn store, but I don't see why it would be if it not available for Canadians.

Yeah I’m really confused now. I have downloaded from both countries.
It seems to want to link to some numbers .
Anyways thing I’ve given up for now. Maybe revisit this tomorrow.
Thanks for your help though

Do you mean it wants you to input a US number for verification? Yeah there's no way around that, you'll have to get an Amerifriend to help you, or do it the next time you're in the US and have access to a US phone.trellaine201 wrote: ↑Feb 12th, 2019 3:26 pmI did

Aww yeah I think it does want that as you mention. I think maybe this needs to be setup while in America.
Then maybe it will work here.
Thanks again.
