“We have reviewed your request and cannot reinstate your Google Voice service.”
Danny Guo had the same Google Voice number for 15 years. He sent a picture, got suspended for a “perceived violation,” and the appeal came back with a form letter and no explanation. The support agent fixated on the wrong problem. He saved the number only because a Verizon port still went through, which is a better appeal process than anything Google offered. Your phone number is your login to everything, and Google treats it as revocable for any reason.
