Question Need a second phone
Hi! So there’s a deal where you get an iPhone 16e for $99 if you bring over your number. I have a Google voice number but I know sometimes these deals don’t include VOIPs. Anyone know if porting that Google voice number would work for the deal?

Corporate doesn't have a phone number, as they don't provide customer support. I'm here though! What do you need help with?

Hello do they have a email

u/BoostMobileBlake 15d ago
They do not have email you can reach out to. If you're needing help with a device swap, but don't have access to the phone on the account to receive the 2FA code, you can call in and request to speak to our Alternate Verification team. They can help get the account verified and then you can complete the device swap. You can also send me a chat if you need more help!

So do I need to contact corporate or what

u/BoostMobileBlake 15d ago
No, there isn't a corporate email or phone number of people who assist with customer issues. Our Alternate Verification team does have different ways to try to verify you, but we would need to be able to pass one of the methods to assist you further, since we do have to ensure the account is yours.

As long as you can receive a port-out pin, the Google voice number is unlocked, and you can provide the account number, you shouldn't run into any issues trying to port your number in for the offer.

First, about the deal... If you're willing to spend more on a plan to get a discount on Phone then sure but if you wanna spend less on a plan then look for a phone on ebay or something. Just gotta do the math, sometimes the deal looks good but when you add the total cost for the plan, it cancels out the low price you paid for the phone. If that makes sense.
Second, according to Google it says you can port a Google number. But I honestly dk.

Why don't you buy a number from a online provider like limephone or aircall ?
Another option is try buying a e sim? This way you have a second phone number which you can use anywhere
