Just tried to create another google account and a new google voice number. Everything goes smoothly until the part where they ask to confirm and link my real phone number to the google voice number for call forwarding. For some reason, I get an error message that doesn't allow me to use the number. Do you think it is because my original google voice number is linked to my current cell phone number? Are you allowed to have several google voice numbers linked to the same cell phone number?

Thanks for the info! Question: can somebody login to your account if they are in possession of the phone number associated with it? Or do they also need the email address?
