If porting your number isn’t working
If you have problems porting your number to Google Voice, use this information to help troubleshoot your particular issue.

If your number port doesn't go through, you get an email from Google that explains what to do.
"Carrier info doesn't match" notification
The account information you enter when you start your number port needs to be completely accurate.
If a number port doesn’t go through, it’s often because of incorrect account information. Your port won’t work with a misspelled name, an incorrect billing address, or an incorrect PIN, for example.
