Title: Google Voice in the UK...
Post by: JayJ on February 12, 2013, 02:53:51 PM
As far as I was aware Google Voice wasn't available here in the UK but playing around on GP today I installed it today on my Nexus 7 and Nexus 4?
Once installed I tried to sign in but couldn't because I didn't have an account but was directed to www.google.co.uk/voice which I followed, signed in and activated Google voice.

Now this is were I'm stuck, this is obviously new to me but how do I get a number? Can I get a number?

I have Voice settings page open on my PC, I can add credit, look up calling rate, see my call history et cetera but what else do I do??

I'm lost...

Thanks, Jay.

Thanks Barry, I'll check it out but if Google Voice is US only why did the app direct me to www.google.co.uk/voice and let me sign up??

Since the OP I've tried signing in on my N4 and the tries to verify my mobile number and fails...

Might contact Google direct.
