  You can port your number from Voice to Fi, you just can't use both on the same account.

    Exactly. But, as I understand it, you can't port your Fi number back to Voice if you decide you don't want Fi.

      You can. It's incredibly easy, too: https://support.google.com/fi/answer/6079398?hl=en https://support.google.com/fi/answer/6079398?hl=en

        From the page you reference, it says that it may not be possible to port a number back to GV. Eg: "Can't transfer Google Voice number If you don’t see the option to transfer your number to Google Voice, it’s likely because Google Voice no longer supports this number or numbers in this area. Google Voice’s number availability changes regularly, so even if your number was previously on Google Voice, it can’t always be transferred back. If you’d like to keep this number, we recommend transferring it to another carrier that supports it." This is what keeps my from signing up.

    >you just can't use both on the same account. But that was the whole reason I wanted a voice number. I had my regular number I only gave to my close friends and family and would give my voice number to anyone who asked. After I got Fi I could no longer make or receive calls on my voice number.

    And if you do, you no longer get text-to-email or voice-message-to-email features.
