No. You port your real number to google voice and then purchase any mvno deal there is at any time, get a new fake number from them when activating and set google voice to forward your calls to that number. You use your regular dialer or goigle voice dialer on your phone. Done and you never have to deal with porting nonsense again and can take advantage of mvno deals at any time.
This is not true - it's better than before but I've came across several institutions where it didn't work because they don't accept voip numbers.
It's not a stop gap, I have used GV as my main number for more than ten years now. I don't need to worry about or deal with the customer service about port-in or port-out my number while taking full advantage of whatever introductory promotional rates various wireless providers have been offering. I just got a new number everytime and forward the calls to my main number to whatever new numbers I got. Have disposable numbers from time to time can also come in handy when you don't have to give someone or some place your permanent main number.

Quote from cybercho :
I encounter issues getting codes sent by certain services to my google voice number, enough where I would never make GV my main number. Wish that wasn't the case. For those who's number originated from the big three carriers or an MVNO, this number will not be flagged as a VOIP number so it may not be an issue for those who've reported great success.
i dont think it matters where your number originated from if you ported from a major carrier or not - its not that simple. I ported from a major carrier and all the systems I have issue with for 2FA immediately recognize my number as now a voip number.

Why is this so hard to understand. With this deal, and any other using an MVNO, you will have a "real" MVNO number that you can use for 2FA in the few instances where GV is not accepted. You don't care about that number. When you change MVNO's for the next cheap plan, you will have a new MVNO number that you don't care about, other than to use for the very few 2FA places that won't allow GV. And your GV number stays stable on GV all the while, never needing to port it around.

Cane be converted to eSIM? How long can I keep it before the activation?

When activating select the eSIM option. Enter the activation code from your physical SIM card. Done. Discard the physical SIM card they send you.

GV works with PayPal, and the other financial institutions I use: Schwab, Chase, Capital One, AMEX, Bank of America

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
It's different depending on how the number is flagged.
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..

as a safety precaution some institutions make it hard for your to change your verified number - it gets really cumbersome.

Bummer, YMMV then. I'm thankful GV works for me as I've gotten to experience all of the benefits mentioned in this thread, including being able to rotate SIMs at a whim to get the best deals. And having a temporary "real" phone number with the SIM carrier is nice to use as a temporary burner, for signing up for free trials of things again and again, etc

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

Does anyone know for sure how long you can keep this before bundle gets expired? I just got my 6-month bundle and I would be activating it later this month. If I buy this now, can I activate in November 2024?

Hard luck brother! I too have been using GV since the GrandCentral days. There was this app called Talkatone that let you use GV number for phone and messaging services. Anyway, I too have noticed that some system flag my GV number as VOIP, especially Cash app and First Tech bank. It seems to be working fine with Amex, Citi, Discover and tax services like TurboTax. I guess this is super YMMV.
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

This sounds like a logistical nightmare to me.
Not even a little bit. My "real" number has been with GV for well over a decade, perhaps since it was GrandCentral. I've had 3(?) mobile numbers since then, which I use for the purpose of cell service. It takes only seconds to get my GV number to forward to a new mobile number, but I've only had to do that a couple of times.

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?

100% agreed, but some places (my local credit union, for example) still don't offer any other 2FA option.

Because as others have stated, VOIP numbers are not universally accepted for setting up 2FA; and more importantly, I'm not cool with giving Google access to all of my personal messages and voicemails.
