1 - Pick a Google account you own that doesn't have a GV number linked to it (or create a new Google acct)
2 - Go to voice.google.com and log in to that Google acct. I prefer an Incognito window here to make sure I'm only engaging with the preferred account.
3 - Select a GV number... I used my home area code and perused the list of available numbers, settling on one that looked good.
4 - Select it, verify it by using a mobile or landline. (see note on this below)
5 - Really important.... set up a PIN!!! Settings > Voicemail > Enable Call to Listen > Enter a PIN
6 - Unlock the GV number so it can be ported: Settings > Account > GV Number > click UNLOCK
7 - Pay Google three bucks
8 - Wait for confirmation that the number is unlocked
Then at Mint:
- Phone # is the GV number
- Account # is also the GV number
- PIN is the PIN you set up in Step 5 above.
- If after entering your billing ZIP code you encounter an error, you can try using 94043 which has worked for others.
The important note from Step 4.... the phone you use to verify here (via text message if you're using a mobile or via a phone call if using a landline) will be DISCONNECTED from any other GV number you may be using and will be linked to the GV number you're creating here. When you finish up all of this and have successfully ported in to Mint, you'll want to go back to whatever prior GV number you have an re-link that mobile/landline back where it belongs.
Link to the phone spec from google and scroll down to the pixel 7 and pixel 7pro:

You can probably find it and unlocked refurb with 90% battery health for the same price, but you'll still have to find a carrier to put a SIM card in and pay it each month.
