Needing a 979 google voice number, but not available.

What is the best alternative program if needing a 979 number that will port phone calls and messaging to main mobile phone when called or texted on the 979 number?

Sort low to high. $5 for a 979 number. Then port that in to google.

Thank you. With number barn, it looks like I can text and call using the app through my normal cell phone correct?

I would think so. I havnt done it personally though. Once you own a number though, porting it should be easy.

You can do with twilio, along with a few billion other things

I use numberbarn. It works pretty well. It's certainly worth the price.

I changed my number, and any texts to my old number go to email. If someone calls it, they get told to call my work number.

How does numberbarn work? They have a number I'd like. Do I have to subscribe to get it? It has a price next to it and then there's a pricing for subscriptions, but I'm unclear how they work.
