Google Voice provides a free US phone number that can be used to make free calls and send free text messages. Unfortunately, Google Voice is not available to people living outside of the US, but don’t worry because we’ll show you the steps to get a Google Voice number from outside the US.

   Get a Google Voice number outside the US

If you live outside the US, you can use Google Hangouts to call most US and Canadian phone numbers for free.
However, Google Hangouts does not provide toll-free phone numbers, nor does it allow you to send free text messages.
Therefore, many users want to sign up for Google Voice because it provides a second phone number and also allows free calls and texts.
While Google Voice is only available to people in the United States, people living outside the United States can also get a Google Voice number by using a US phone number and proxy service.
So the two steps required to get a Google Voice number from outside the US are as follows:
1. Get a Free US Phone Number
2. Use a proxy service to change the IP location to the United States

   Step 1: Get a Free US Phone Number

When you try to sign up for Google Voice, you’ll be asked to verify with a US phone number.
You can accomplish this using a number of free and paid apps that will provide you with a US phone number.
For more information on this, you can refer to this guide:  Obtaining a Mobile Number in Other Countries .

   Step 2: Change the location to United States using a proxy service

The second requirement to get a Google Voice number from outside the US is to use a proxy to change your location to the US.
This critical step is necessary because once Google detects your location (outside the US), it will prevent you from signing up by displaying a “Google Voice is currently unavailable in your country” message.
While there are many free and paid proxy services in the market, we are using a proxy to fulfill this requirement.
Agents are free up to 500 MB of data, which is enough to complete the Google Voice sign-up process.
