| Switching Primary and Secondary Numbers | wwwjscom | 7/30/12 12:34 PM | Hi I own two google voice numbers on one account. So, I have a primary and secondary number. Is it possible to have the two swapped? I wasn't aware that my secondary number wouldn't be able to be used for placing calls or text messages. Thank you |
| Re: Switching Primary and Secondary Numbers | burntoc | 8/5/12 8:38 PM | I would like to know this, too. I paid Google for a 949 number and then ported in a 562 cell I wanted to pay to be a permanent secondary, but instead GV made it my primary and that is not what I want. I want the 949 primary and to pay for the 562 t |
| Re: Switching Primary and Secondary Numbers | wwwjscom | 8/5/12 9:01 PM | I haven't received any response from Google (I contacted then in multiple ways). If you have any luck please let me know, and I'll reciprocate of course. Thanks |
| Re: Switching Primary and Secondary Numbers | burntoc | 8/6/12 4:13 PM | I bit the bullet and paid the $20 to make the number permanent. After doing that, I was able to go under Settings and designate the other number as Primary. YMMV, because GV support was WORTHLESS and didn't respond, but wanted to let you know. Hop |
| Re: Switching Primary and Secondary Numbers | wwwjscom | 8/6/12 4:31 PM | I had no idea that was possible. Thanks!! And agreed about the support being worthless. |
| Re: Switching Primary and Secondary Numbers | Network25 | 9/17/12 4:04 PM | @burntoc or @wwwjscom Could either of you provide a screenshot of what this "Primary Swap" feature/choice/button looks like? I'm considering going down the same path and I'd like to see how its supposed to work. Thanks. Network25 |
| Re: Switching Primary and Secondary Numbers | utna23 | 9/18/12 3:15 PM | I too wish to see this. I have a primary/original number (not secondary ) that I wish to keep as well. And do I have to get another random number just to be able to make my original number permanent.? |
