How to Cancel Google Voice 2025 (simple steps)
Google Voice is a service that helps you communicate with friends and loved ones. It allows you to share your phone number across multiple devices. With Google Voice, you can screen calls, block numbers, and transcribe voicemails. If you want to cancel your Google Voice account, this post will guide you through the process.
Common Reasons for Cancelling Google Voice
Lacks a Personal Touch: Many users frown on the fact that Google Voice lacks sales-specific dialling features like One-Tap Voicemail or Conversation Script. Calls lack consistency and automation, which limits ability to grow
Absence of CRM Integration: This implies the user will continue the monotonous task of manually logging calls and updates, which is less productive.
Little to no Automation: You get a record of all your calls and texts with Google Voice, but you can’t automate follow-ups, create call sequences, or set workflows. Everything you do has to be initiated manually, which can potentially slow your momentum and clog your pipeline.
No Call Recording or Transcription for Live Calls: Google Voice will transcribe your incoming voicemails, but it doesn’t offer automatic call recordings or AI-generated call summaries. That makes it harder to train reps, track what was said, and identify key sales moments.
How to Delete Your Google Voice Account
You can either turn off Google Voice or unsubscribe. Google Voice can’t be deleted if you use it collaboratively with Sprint or if you have a transfer number. Your data will not be deleted if you delete your Google Voice number, and the messages will be stuck in your inbox.
- Head on to the Google Voice website,
- Sign In
- Click on the menu option
- Pick settings
- Disable voice note
What Happens to My Google Voice Account?
After deletion, you usually have ninety days to retrieve your number; otherwise, it will be someone else’s. You have to ensure you don’t need the number anymore.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Does Google Voice Work?
For those new to this, Google Voice allows users to make and receive calls and texts without a phone or landline connection. When you call your Google Voice number, your voice is turned into a digital signal that flows over the internet, allowing you to make calls immediately from a computer, mobile phone, internet browser, or the Google Voice app.
Do I have to pay to use Google Voice?
Not really. Google Voice’s services are free for personal use. You can create an account, acquire a number, and use it to call almost any number in the United States and Canada. However, if you want to use this account to call numbers outside of these countries, you will have to pay a per-minute charge, which varies depending on the country.
Also, if you want to use it for business, you have to pay for Google Workspace and select a paid Google Voice business plan.
