Google voice has been around for like 15 years. It's your perm number, that your direct calls to your real number as you like/don't like.

Personally I give out work number that is semi permanent and fam/friends get GV #. I use one message app for work # and one for GV. Allows me to pay attention/prioritize during work/personal time.

Been doing this for more than 12 years. 8 employers, no worries.

You must use your Google voice phone number often enough for them not to disable it. I had a Google voice number. Used it infrequently. They disabled it.
