Is it possible to port landline # to google voice?

[go2vegas]

I am trying to help my 84 year old father. His monthly bills are adding up.

He splits his time between Indiana during the summer and Texas in the winter. And pays for the Indiana number all year long. I have been trying for years to get him just to drop the land line and use his cell number.

Can I set him up with a google voice account port his landline number to it and then have that ring his cell number? The landline number is currently through at&t uverse.

I am hoping if this could be done. Then he could just cancel the phone service through uverse.

Thanks

Just Google your question to find the answer. It basically involves buying a prepaid mobile phone from AT&T or T-Mobile, port your home number to it, the port the number to Google Voice. I haven't done it, but I have been tempted.
