Google Voice (GV) is a service that provides a regular telephone number for others to call. Calls to the GV number are forwarded to other numbers of your own choosing, so that someone can call your GV number and ring all of your telephones (or any subset of them selected by you) at the same time. Thus, if you have (1) a cell phone, (2) a landline phone, and (3) a work phone, someone could call your GV number and all three of your numbers would ring at once. Whichever phone is picked up first gets connected to the caller of the GV number.There are other very useful features of GV, but the one of relevance here is that it confirms that the numbers you select to ring when someone calls your GV number are actually numbers under your control. Thus, GV uses a number such as this to call you whenever you add a number to the call forwarding list. A code appears on your computer screen and a robocall is immediately dispatched to the new phone number you added. You then have to punch the displayed code on your phone keypad after you pick up the phone. If you didn't do this, someone with GV could accidentally (or deliberately) add you to the call forwarding list and you would get a lot of very strange calls.Also, if you have a number on your list to which calls have not been forwarded for a long time, GV will send you a reminder that you have to reconfirm that number. Otherwise, since GV is free, someone could just abandon a GV account and, if the number on the call forwarding list was reassigned to you at some point, some or all of the calls received at the abandoned GV account would be forwarded to you and there would be no way to stop that from happening.From the description of some of the unwanted calls here, it appears that the numbers on the call forwarding numbers that people add to GV are sometimes mistyped. If so, it may be bothersome, but I wouldn't worry too much about it. People have been dialing wrong numbers ever since the first rotary dial phones became available. I'm sure everyone here has committed this sin at one time or another, themselves.

Got a call from this # friday 2/1/13 at 1:30 pm had a voicemail that was cut off just heard enter code now!
I have trouble believing this is Google as many have said. I am not trying to get a GV# and the number they called is my incoming Vonage number that I have not given to a soul for any reason in 10 years. It's the number I had back home from 1986 to 2006 as a home number, but never used in the normal course of the day for the last 10 years(other than incoming for family to call from back home after we moved). I never give it out, never put it on a sweepstakes form. Besides, Google in in CA, not DC.
