IMHO, Google Voice is the best way to make AND receive calls to ANY phone number in the USA and also receive ALL short and long-code One Time Passwords (OTP's) which nearly all finanical institutes, websites, government agencies and companies are using. This was filmed back in October on my last day in the US and the quality sucks, but I still wanted to post it up.

Glad you put this out there. Hopefully, it helps quiet some of the conversation and arguments. Setting up Google Voice before I left the US has worked out well for me.
You are 100% correct, and I am glad I watched this video. I put the app on my phone before I left Michigan, and now I am here in the Philippines for a half year,...what do you know, I couldn't use my debit, credit cards even though I talked with the banks before I left. Well, thank God for you and Google Voice, I was able to call them and fix the problem. Thank You!
Glad it was helpful!
Do you want to buy gv
Thank you!! Heading to Japan this summer for 3 and wanted to keep my number.
Thank you so much!
I ported my long time US cellular number to google voice before arriving in Chiang Mai last year. Mostly use it to talk with family members and use it occasionally when I need to make calls back to the US for business purposes. I also use a VPN for watching Netflix and Pluto TV
Do you want to buy gv
i want google voice account sell
Whats app?... Ok yes, to call anyplace.
I am still in the US, but wife and I are in the Philippines next month for about a year,..you say what's App works good? I thank You ahead of time for your answer! (I can bring my phone from the US and use it elsewhere with this device?)
WhatsApp cannot call any US phone number or receive bank/paypal/etc short and long OTP codes.
Good to have multiple ways imo!
Thanks for the update yet thanks for the transcript on UA-cam so that we can double check what we think we heard. Then keep us posted on whether your setup is working as intended in your dream place! See y’a
I use skype at 6 Dollars a month. I can Call any country in the world. And i don;t need a vpn, i have been doing this for 7 years.
I see lots of comments about "Thanks, I wanted to keep my current phone number". That is not what he described. He showed you how to setup a number to make free calls to the USA. He did not show you how to keep your same USA based phone number in Google Voice while living overseas.
Exactly
Wifi calling, google voice & regular american number anywhere you have access to WiFi.
You're Philippines phone number should work like that in america too if you have load.
With SMART, you have to activate a code on your phone before you depart in order to use it overseas. Then when ya get back, you have to enter another text code to get it working here again. It's pretty easy, though - just got to remember to do it!
I purchased a USB security key for my laptop and got around the need for that one time security code to send money from BOA to the Philippines.
have you tried Tello?
So Google voice doesn't require an active phone carrier EXCEPT during setup?
And do you give your GV number to all institutions you deal with (banks, etc)?
I hope I asked that appropriately and it was a dumb question.
I've watched many of these videos, but I haven't heard someone say that plainly and to the point.
i've been on google voice since 2006?. It's imperfect even in the US, especially when it comes to voicemail as some carriers don't cooperate with all the protocols, but it's great. The selfish part of me wishes there were LESS videos like this so that google doesn't even feel prompted to make more restrictions and rock the boat for us that have been quietly enjoying the status quo, but oh well. skype is ok, but i dislike their billing/payment system,
Yeah, I totally hear you, but for US (and Canadian, methinks) expats, communication to the home country can literally be life or death. Plus, I got tired of hearing some expats say all you need is Skype or Whatsapp or Viber. If GV shuts down, it's gonna suck big time.
@@PhilippineDreams Do you want to buy google Voice
I've used gvoice for years here in the US, but I am heading to the Philippines at the end of March for a couple of weeks to explore relocation options. I was thinking of buying an inexpensive phone and chromebook, since I don't want to bring my work laptop or my work phone. Can you set up a VPN on your phone ? Is there something you'd recommend? Would I get a Philippines sim card to put in the phone when I arrived? Thanks for your guys videos, I appreciate your take on things.
I use a VPN on my phone for bank and financial stuff but you don't need a VPN for Google Voice. Philz is also requiring everyone to register their SIMs by submitting ID's but I don't know how that will affect people coming in to visit.
You should always be using a VPN on your phone.. because you never know who maybe trying to access your data.. here is one big thing that people wont tell you that VPN’s will hang up on you and hold you at a stand still .. so every now then turn them off and then back on…
Google voice with ObiHi
Thank you, Ned. I have been trying to find a way to get Google Voice working again ever since my old phone got stolen. Having a friend back home get the code and then turning off the call forwarding should do the trick. If I am wrong, please let me know.
That should do it.
Google voice available and TextNow available
The advice given, in my case did not work. Im in Philippines, had a friend buy me a ATT phone in usa. OTP password worked. Phone is registered w G voice. What failed was when using the VPN for US. The system would not give a Gvoice number. It must know that this IP is VPN. Maybe a lessor know VPN? But just did not work as anticipated.
Can you use the number you are planning to port as the verification phone number?
Do you want to buy gv
That is exactly how I set up my GV number 8 years ago. Me on VPN and my dad in the US on Yahoo chat ready to get the call and give me the code.
I still have my United States Phone, AT&T and pay $30.00 a month & use wifi calling. I also use Google Phone & $5.00 a month for Viber to call back to the United States.
Great info po...anyone know if it works for Australia?
Don't think so.
Currently now I'm in the United States. Just like you, I wanted to keep my ties with my current phone to the United States. All for the same. I use an unlocked phone carrier is T-Mobile. Do I still need to maintain my my service with my current carrier in order to have service with Google Voice? I'm planning to be in the Philippines in November of 2023. I don't want to keep paying for service with T-Mobile if using Google Voice will be sufficient. In addition I'm planning to get a dual SIM phone so that I can have a Philippines phone number
U dont need to keep ur T Mobile plan. Google Voice is tied to your Google account. Only need WIFI/data.
Wifi calling without Google voice too, american phone number and a cheap service from at&t or your choice of a phone provider.
your internet connection is unstable. google voice has to place this call through your carrier network and use your voice number roaming charges may apply
how do i fix this popup in the mobile app? i'm using expressvpn and am staying in thailand for a year
using a vpn server based in seattle usa trying to call out from thailand and am scared to overcharge my brother's tmobile account in the US because I used his phone and OTP to make google voice work here
Ned I like using fb messenger for a video call
Me too.
If you have your american phone service of a cheap plan because american data just isn't going to work.
But keep your american number and use wifi calling perfectly to talk to friends and family in america.
Why not just use Discord or Snapchat?
Ummm..... can you make calls to ANY US phone number in the USA (business, toll-free, cell phone, landline) AND receive ALL short and long-code One Time Passwords with Discord or Snapchat? (Apologies for the rhetorical nature of my reply.)
@@PhilippineDreams Sorry for asking an honest question because I truly dont know about this stuff and I am trying to learn so when I find and start dating a Filipino woman I will be prepared. Have a nice day.
SKYPE...
Skype cannot receive all long and short OTP codes.
But what if I don't WANT to call the US or talk to anyone here?? What if instead I want to live in paradise and forget this hellhole exists?? Can you make a video on how to do that? :)
Wow... You sound like a very typical expat.
@@flawaii-pines6858 Wow, you believe I give a fuck what you think LOL.
@@Mutiny960 You obviously dont care what anyone thinks including the family you dumped back in America. Im sure your kids are glad your are gone. I meet guys like you in PI and I stay very far away. You are a great role model for me on how to never behave, thanks!
@@flawaii-pines6858 Nice retard assumptions dumbass. I currently still live in the US :P No kids, 32 years old. Now go take your stupidity somewhere people will actually see it. /MUTED HAHA
@@Mutiny960 America wont miss you at all. Good luck on those disability appointments! Yes made another assumption because this is exactly how you sound. LOL!
