Begin to set up the voice account following the prompts. You will have a choice to use  the existing phone number you own with your current voice carrier, OR, you can use a new number that will be provided by Google Voice. 
If you choose to obtain a new number from Google Voice, you will be asked to enter your current number. Google will then provide you with a code number and will note that they will be calling your phone number once you click “connect.” 
When you connect, Google will ring your CURRENT cell phone/landline and will ask you to enter the code number provided. They automated voice will prompt you to create a voice message. Once this is done, you will see a note on the screen that says, “Google Voice Number Verified.”
