GV cancelled my account and I used the number the last day, Anything to do ?

[trackVW]

My Google Voice was going to stop March 14th , so I used it to call 5 people and send 5 texts , all went thru ,

But 6 hours later I got an Email that it was cancelled for non-use.

Is there anything I can do ?

Thanks for your help

Wow! That's pretty stupid of GV!

Did the email you received say anything about being able to reclaim your GV # within 45 days after it gets deactivated?

If not, here's the link:
https://support.google.com/voice/ans...-was-reclaimed
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.
On your computer, go to voice.google.com.
Sign in to your Google Account.
Accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
Search by city or area code for your number.
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.

BOZ thanks for the info ,

my email from GV did not say anything about reclaiming the number ,

I will try that and let you know .

Once you have ported the number out you can bring it back in to GV again, costs $25 iirc

I always respond to those number expiring messages within a day or two of receipt.. so far so good (knock on wood).

That was too easy

PS: why did I not get a link for that directly from Google ?
Without your help I would not have found it !
