Google Voice is a great service that lets you make and receive calls from anywhere in the world, but it can be a bit of a hassle to get rid of your number. Here are four ways to delete your Google Voice number.

  1. Sign In to Your Google Account If you signed up for Google Voice using your Gmail account, you can sign in to your account and delete your number from there. Just click on the “Voice” tab and select “Manage My Numbers.” From here, you can select the “Delete this number” button next to your current Google Voice number.
  2. Delete Your Number on the Website If you created your Google Voice number using the website, you can delete it by clicking on the “Voice” tab and selecting “My Numbers.” Next, select the “Delete this number” button next to your current Google Voice number.
  3. Remove Your Number from Your Phone’s Settings If you use a phone that doesn’t have Google Voice installed, you can remove it by going into its settings and looking for an option called “Google Services.” From here, you’ll need to disable all of Google’s services except for Gmail (if you use that). Once everything is disabled, just search for “Google Voice” and uncheck the box next to it. You’ll then need to restart your phone for the changes to take effect.

What to Know When Deleting a Google Voice Number

Once your number is deleted, you can’t receive calls or text messages on the number. You can still view your call and message history, though.

After deleting a number, if that was the only number in your account, you have up to 90 days to reclaim that number if you want. Then the number is gone forever.

Remember that you can’t delete your Google Voice number if you’re a Voice for Google Workspace user.
