    Hey guys! Welcome to Everything is Boffo!!! 🥳
    In this video, we delve into our experience with a suspended Google Voice account and how we resolved the issue. We encountered frustration and confusion along the way, but with perseverance, we managed to get Google's attention (maybe get a little bit of closure) and obtain a fix.
    First, we share the challenges we faced with our suspended Google Voice account and how we reached out to Google for assistance. We discuss the strategies we employed to ensure our complaints were heard, and ultimately, how we received a response from Google.
    Next, we delve into the steps we took to resolve the suspension. We provide a comprehensive guide on what worked for us, offering valuable insights and tips for those who may find themselves in a similar situation.
    During our discussion, we discuss the option of a Skype number as an alternative to Google Voice. We compare the features and benefits of the Orange (Mundo 10) plan and Lobster Mobile's Small plan, providing an in-depth analysis to help you make an informed decision.
    As for our current status, we share an update on how things are going after resolving the Google Voice suspension. We discuss the changes we made, the improvements we've noticed, and any ongoing challenges we encountered.

    Hello Paul and Bea - I continue to enjoy all of your TH-cam posts as it has all been fun and educational. I am working on my non-lucrative VISA and hoping that I am finally able to move to Madrid by October this year. Your most recent post was truly very helpful - I had plans of porting my phone number to Google voice but am having second thoughts now; I will be looking into both Skype and Lobster - thanks again. Jing

    Yikes, this is such a nightmare, sorry you’re still without your number! I ported my NY number to Google voice last September and have been fairly happy. I’ve only had 2 situations where I haven’t been able to use my Google voice number for authentications but luckily have been able to use email or have a family member in the US let me borrow their number to set up an account (the latter is not ideal though). I’ve thought about purchasing a cheap plan through Tello or Mint and porting my Google voice number back so that it’s a real cell number again. I would be so ruined without this number, which is attached to every account I have (and it’s a number I’ve had for 20 years)! Hmm, what to do…

    Great video. Very informative. That 12.99 Euros/month with Lobster sounds like a great plan. How clear is the reception on calls you make from Spain to the US? Apparently the Lobster network in Spain is Movistar owned by Telefonica which is the largest network in Spain! Can you pay them monthly with online banking or only by credit card?

    • @EverythingIsBoffo
      @EverythingIsBoffo  18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes I love using it to call the US, there's no delays or lag during the call, and I don't have to ration the minutes. It's as if I was using a US sim. The payments are taken out automatically from my credit card but you also have the option to pause the payment or not have it on autopay. Don't forget to use our link. And I think they can mail the sim to the US/UK! www.lobster.es/referral/?referralCode=LoveBoffo

      Lobster will only give you a Spanish number. So you need to port to Google Voice, or Numberbarn, or Tossable Digits.

      @@EverythingIsBoffo Yep! I had a nightmare situation with Google and I couldn’t access my decades long email for a couple of months. I had to contact TH-cam because , of course, our gmails are connected with that and many other accounts. You can imagine the nightmare. There was a glitch and Gmail wouldn’t help, although they knew that the glitch was causing problems for many subscribers. Then one day, voila! So, while I may look like a new subscriber to you, I’m actually a double subscriber. 😉
