Hey! I tried signing up for Google Voice but it won’t accept my non-U.S. number for verification. I just need it to forward texts while I’m abroad. Anyone know where I can get a virtual phone number USA to use just for that initial verification step?

Yep, that’s a common issue. I’ve had luck with Grizzly SMS — they’re great for one-time verifications. You can get a virtual phone number USA for Google and use it to receive the SMS verification code right in your online account. No need to install anything or provide personal details. Just pick the country and service, and it’s done.
