Here are some helpful instructions for setting up Google Voice for Simultaneous Ringing of Jolly Roger robots. If anything goes wrong with the verification with Google (steps 7 and 8 below), you can simply repeat these instructions and try again. It’s all automatic.
Assuming you have already signed up for Google Voice, here are the step-by-step instructions:
- If you do not receive a message within a couple of minutes then the cellphone you are using is NOT one of the three phone numbers associated with your account: if this is the case, then send an email to Support to add your cellphone number to your subscription. You need your mobile number to be verified before we can use it to setup your Google Voice account.
- If you get a message "Sorry but you must upgrade your subscription to receive a dedicated Google Voice number." then you do not have a compatible prerequisite subscription. To acquire a dedicated number for Google Voice you need to purchase one of these combinations of subscriptions (be sure to include your mobile number as one of the three numbers of your subscription):
- SKU 008 - One Year 'Deep Six', with Google Voice ($8.88)
- SKU 002 - One Year 'Deep Six'' ($6.00) plus SKU 009 -"Upgrade for Google Voice" ($2.88)
