Lost Google Voice number. No warning email was sent to me

Hi Google Voice,
My number is no longer linked to one of my Google account.  When I signed in, I don't see my number, and Google asked me to sign up for new one.
Please help

Hello:
Welcome to the user-run Google Voice forum.
Point your computer, not phone, at your
https://voice.google.com page.

When are the most recent outgoing call, and outgoing message shown there?

June 26 is the last text sending out

Point your computer, not phone, at your

So 90 days from 30 June is ~30Sept.
You should be in the 45 Day recovery window.
So exactly what happened when you followed:
on your computer?

I followed the instructions:

Get your number back after it's removed
After your number is reclaimed, your messages are still in your Voice account, but you can't get calls or texts.
After the reclaim date, you have 45 days when you can get your Voice number back.
  1. On your computer, go to voice.google.com.
  2. Sign in to your Google Account.
  3. Accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
  4. Search by city or area code for your number.
  5. Next to your number, click Select. Follow the instructions.
If you don't see your number in the search results, make sure you're signed in to the Google Account where it was linked before.


I used the computer to sign on the account that I lost the Google Voice
1. Done.  I see the message at the bottom "To call and text, get a Google Voice number .... Get a number
2. Done. I click on "Get a number"
3. Don't see the "Terms of Service and Privacy Policy"
4. When I search my number, I don't see it
5. Need to complete #4 before I can work on #5.

Again, I signed on the Google Account that the GV was associated with.
If you need to know which account that I lost the GV, I can provide it here.

We don't ever ask for a public posting of a full 10D number, only the Last4 digits, i.e. L4

We need some specifics to escalate this issue.
 
Are you posting here from the account your number was under? [Y/N]
(You can confirm that by pointing your computer to https://voice.google.com/ & looking
for logs of your past calls, etc.)
 
The Last Four digits [L4] of your Google Voice number?

Last outbound voice call:
Voice: Fri, Jun 30, 2023, 8:25 AM
Destination's L4?

Last SMS: Jun 26, 4:08 PM 
Its L4?

And last, a statement from you:
I authorize Google to examine my account on this issue.

Oct 5, 2023
- Are you posting here from the account your number was under? [Y/N] N.  For some reason, that account is not allowed to post.

- L4: 4567

- Last outbound voice call:
Voice: Fri, Jun 30, 2023, 8:25 AM
Destination's L4? Not sure what this means.

- Last SMS: Jun 26, 4:08 PM 
Its L4? Yes.

You MUST post here from the account associated with the GV #; that is the sole way of validating that it is your number.
Oct 9, 2023
Not sure what you mean by "supervisor" as AFAIK Google accounts have one login and one password.

Do you mean an account for a minor child?

What exactly happens when you try to post here from that account?

- The account belongs to a minor child
- When I try to post here (Google Voice Help - Community), I see "Sorry, this page can't be found" message.  Please see screenshot.


- By the way, this thread is "soft locked".

You raise an interesting dilemma; I'm not sure how to proceed but will ask.
Oct 11, 2023
I'll try to move it out of Family Link.  I'll keep you posted in a few days.
Oct 13, 2023
I just removed the account off Family Link, and the account can be self-managed, no age restriction (over 18).  However, when I followed the steps to reclaim the number, the number doesn't show up.

Since "This question is soft locked and only Product Experts and the original poster can reply.", should I start a new question from that account, and link this thread to it, so we don't have to start over the conversation?

Hi AG Pham,
 
I've removed the Soft Lock, so you don't need to start a new thread.
Oct 27, 2023
Hi experts,
I would like to follow-up the GV number reclaim. How is it going?
Thanks,

AG.

I have the same problem. I have auto pay for storage 1t and a voice number. But all has disappeared and I need the stuff in storage and the gv number.

Hi Experts,

Is there any update on my case?

Thanks,

AG.

AG Pham, can I assume the AG.Pham account is also you?
 
I asked a couple weeks ago, and was told this was still being worked on.  I asked again, and will let you know any updates, when I have one.
