You have two options when selecting a Google Voice number: number porting your existing number or selecting a new Google number.
Number porting is a feature in which your existing mobile number will become your Google Voice number. It allows you to take advantage of the full set of the Google Voice features like, one number to ring all of your phones, online voicemail, and more. Number porting also costs a one-time fee of $20, payable via Google Checkout. Note that you will still need carrier service (Sprint, T-Mobile, Cricket, etc.) to receive calls on your mobile phone.
Remember, if you do not want to port your existing number, you can always choose a free Google Number upon set up of Google Voice, or if you’ve already created an account, by clicking on your Phones tab of your Settings, and selecting the link to Get a Google Number.
