How to Delete Google Voice Account in Minutes

Google Voice is a smart calling internet-based service that combines your cellular services and allows you to forward calls to multiple devices. However, time may come when you no longer need it and want to delete the Google Voice account.

Deleting a Google Voice account is a sophisticated process because there is no direct button where you can simply press "DELETE ACCOUNT." That means you may be able to delete everything in the account but still not get rid of the account completely. The only option close to deleting the account is to disable the Google Voice account and delete the Google number.

While someone may go through the hassle and get it done in the end, the trouble is too much to take yourself through it. It gets worse when you can't remember the password, and you have to start by recovering it. DoNotPay helps users like you delete such an account, whether you remember the password or not.

Reasons to Delete Your Google Voice Account

A Google Voice account merges all your phone contacts and allows you to communicate from wherever you are over the internet. It's a great tool when you are always traveling or making international business calls as it saves you the expenses involved.

However, you may want to delete it because:

• You no longer need it
• Your account is compromised, and you are at risk of losing your important data to cyber attackers.
• You can't access the account for various reasons.

6. You can leave it here if you feel you might need to use the account again in the future. But if not, proceed to delete the Google Number.
