Topic Wiki

Google Voice may save a number as a home number, and in that mode it will not allow you to forward messages. In order to change that there's an option in legacy site.

Yes. It has its own dedicated email, and I have no idea what it is.
When you try to log on to gmail, click forgot username, hopefully you set up a recovery address that you use...

I can't try to log on if I have no idea what the email address is.

GIYF :-) (In this case, more ways than one!)
https://support.google.com/voice/answer/115100?hl=en
Thanx for the link. 

Elikay posted that link a few days ago. 

It does not help for my issue. 

It sends an email to the linked address. 

It won't help me be I don't know what that address is!

Sorry.  The description of the support page said, 'your email address will be displayed.'  Did I read wrong?

It asks me to enter either a recovery phone number,  or the recovery email.  I don't think I ever set that up.  And if I did,  I don't know what it is. 

I appreciate yor efforts here.

I really don't know what to do.

No!
That is one of the reasons why I need  to access the inked email address.

ETA:  I know my pin,  but after entering the pin,  I get a message that I'm not calling from one of the forwarding numbers and therfore can't access the account.
