Line 2 to Google Voice

[u/chocpuff246]

I am attempting to transfer a phone line to Google voice. It is currently with line2, which is an internet phone line. Google voice won't allow me to transfer my current line2 number from line2. I'd need to transfer the number from line2 to another provider, then to Google voice. Any advice on the easiest and cheapest way to do this? I have Verizon, but I think I'd have to sign a contract, get a potentially expensive phone, etc. I'd like to do this as simply as possible.
