Why bad move? Mint is not good?
Some call back or security texting like to a bank dont work with GV
When activating select the eSIM option. Enter the activation code from your physical SIM card. Done. Discard the physical SIM card they send you.

I've been using GV since before Google bought it (it was called Grand Central back then). 2FA was a problem for a while, but it's close to 99% functional now in my experience. There is only one place I can think of where it has to call me instead of text me a code
In my case, Paypal doesn't work at all, CHAT GPT doesn't work, Citi doesn't recognize the number and have to call in everytime. Fidelity cards doesn't work. Zelle doesn't work. Ally doesn't work. IRS doesn't work. Social security registration doesn't take the number. The list goes on and on.
Some of these places will accept your number. But then they just will NOT send you the authentication or 2FA texts. This could result in credit card transactions getting rejected - if for ex you use this for a credit card. Or if you are required 2FA to sign in, you won't be able to.
Interestingly I have a GV number since Grand Central days as well. I think all depends on how the number is flagged in the system. Some people have been lucky enough and their number is not flagged as VOIP.
I had even tried porting my Real number to GV and paid the $20. This was from AT&T to GV. However the 2FA success rate was even worse than the number that was ALWAYS in GV (which is the Grand central number I've had since the beginning).
So it doesn't matter if you port your number from a big 3 carrier to GV - it will be flagged as VOIP regardless eventually. And yes, that doesn't happen right away. For the first few months, I was fine, but then my number was flagged as VOIP and started having problems.
So I had to port my number back from GV - phone carrier. I love the idea of having my permanent number as a GV number. That way it works all over the world without needing roaming. However, I've never been able to successfully execute this without major inconveniences with institutions that need a real phone number..

My GV number *is* identified as VOIP btw
I guess I'd tell people to give GV a try to see if it works for them before they port their number to GV

I have been using GV exactly like others have, find the best mobile plan deal and then rinse and repeat. Lately I have been bugged by Oneplus's broken integration with GV call redirecting so native phone dialer does not work with GV. I am kind of forced to use GV app for calling which becomes challenging while using in Android Auto. I hope switching to Samsung or pixel phone fix this issue
EDIT: reading some other replies, sounds like experiences are mixed. I've had only one 2FA process straight up fail to send to my GV number; I'm sure there's been one or two over the years that did the same, but I can't remember them. Every one of my regular 2FA processes that use mobile work.
I used it with Fi at some point in the past, too, and I wonder if that's the difference. Fi would have to ensure their numbers are flagged as mobile in order for their service to work flawlessly, so maybe at some point my GV number was flagged as mobile and the designation stuck after I left Fi?
