How to Register Your VOIP Landline # to Google Voice & Your Mobile Phone

Before I say how I did what the title says, I need  make a few things clear about it so I don't have to during the simple instructions:

#1 The following information accomplished the 2 distinct goals I had, which was, a) to link landline & mobile & answer either on either. and b) to answer my cell phone in my home from my vintage phones connected to my landline which are a North Electric manufactured mint green, Touchtone, model 60A Ericofon and a black Automatic Electric Type 80.
#2 Google says we cannot port a landline (VOIP or  Voice over internet protocol, is considered a land line) to Voice.The instructions here are not to port a number, but to register it in Voice, enabling Voice to ring both your mobile and landline whenever somebody calls either and to use your landline from your mobile.
#3Porting a # to Voice removes it from the other line, which was not my goal when doing this
#4 The main enabler for using my landline and mobile simjultaneously is that my MJ VIOP landline has a free mobile  app, letting me use my MJ landline on my mobile phone.
#5 I'm assuming that since MJ is hardly an innovator in the VOIP field and doesn't even really make it's own devices, rather just relabels them, that what I've done with my MJ service can be done with just about any VOIP service with a complimentary cell phone app included in the landline service.
#6 I have never found ANY information on the internet that instructs how to register a landline, or a VOIP line to Voice like this, so I am posting how I did it here.
#7 but of course, all I can speak to directly is how I've done this (with caveats posted after instructions) with my MJ service. And I figured out  this simple thing  and am publishing it here for the first time, which means that if, from the date of this post, the reader sees it elsewhere, it is plagiarized from me.
#8 My home phones listed above were all ready installed on my MJ landline service, accepting incoming and outgoing calls and ringing. My AE 80 rotary is connected to an inline DTMF converter (pulse to tone converter) to be able to dial calls, but it rings and answers calls without the converter.

Well I think I've actually almost completely described the title of this post above, but here are the simple steps:

Google Voice,. when you install it, as users know, it prompts you to link your cell phone to your new Voice # when you start it for the first time. You don't have to do this and I didn't, to use your new Voice #. I did, however do it later, which allows your  Voice # to take over all calls.
With that in mind, note that Voice has a pretty straightforward attractive interface on your mobile phone and you can still use your phone's dialer interface and it will ask you which # to dial from.

So now to link your landline, You need a mobile app from the provider that allows you to dial from and to your landline # from the app. For Magic Jack service landlines, its called MagicApp. you just install it & enter your MJ# & it's ready to go.

Then you go to Voice settings and add your landline #. Put the number in the space provided and check the box that says it's the number of your mobile device in your hand. You'll then  get a text confirmation # to copy & past in the provided confirmation box. Paste it and you've just ported your landline to Voice!

Settings in MJ account are: accepting inbound and outbound service on MJ land line under "caller features" the "advanced" dropdown link. on same page, accepting only inbound service on the android app. on another page, for forwarding calls, both stay off and are set to "off" by default.

Google Voice settings: all that is needed is achieved in the instructions above. And when someone calls your Voice # both your land line and your cell phone will receive the call and ring.

Conclusion:  I've gotten 50% success with MJ and cell service #s, with both lines ringing only when the land line # is called and only my cell ringing when it is called, however, this is 100% effective using my Voice # with both lines receiving the call.

Tweeks, Caveats & unintended results: In my MJ settings, this caused a few surmountable issues. But first let me explain that there are several places in the settings where one can add their mobile # and one place I added mine to seemed to cause all the issues.

The issues are/were: when dialed from my mobile, my landline immediately went into voicemail settings without ringing.This bothered me because I like to be able to make regular calls to my home phone from my mobile.  I didn't know if this issue was because the lines essentially were all one and the same now or I needed to  tweak the settings. Although I did realize that all the issues were in the Magic Jack settings and I started experimenting with them. Another issue was the double answering system messages and prompts coming over the call.

So to be able to once again call my home phones, I found that I must  turn off the two "call forwarding" settings in Magic Jack that I had assigned my mobile # to. (the account settings won't allow it's own phone# in the settings).

Then I checked to see if I accomplished my goal the best I can with this method to see if  it works as intended:  installing TalkTone on my cell phone, getting yet another free # and calling my land line # and hearing it ring to both my cell and home line and being able to answer either.

consensual mind control

MOST PEOPLE HAVE YOUR HEADS UP YOUR ARSES (FB). Explained: You let politicians, the media, organizations,peers, & celebrities think for you most of you being completely without introspection & cognitive discipline. as a result you routinely let Politicians, peers & various media shape your thoughts, ideas & opinions & manipulate your choices of everything by appealing to your biases fears & prejudices. & true to form, you're not even paying attention when they start by always telling you how wonderful you are, followed by pointing to something external usually another group of people (fear mongering) as being the source of your problems or something you should desire. So the real problem with the world IS YOU looking to others for reassurance that You're wonderful & what you should worry about rather than demanding accurate truthful information that you could use to form your VERY OWN (imagine that!) opinions & decisions instead of accepting them of others on FB, the Internet and TV. It's history repeated over & over in county after country. In fact It's exactly ******'s plot: first he told the Germans how wonderful they were, that they were the master race& then called for the imprisonment & extermination of other races & ethnic minorities as "The Final Solution."
But back to my first statement about arses: The Big Arse nearly all of you have your head up is the social media, FB, (Twitter, Pinterest and the rest) going "Hey look at me, what's trending, "follow this","like that," "You're wonderful just the way you are." "look at me daddy, look at what I'm doing" ,FOLLOWER FEST."
Just now

OMG IMVU censored H itle r and Probably would N az i too. Exactly what this post is about about, CONSENSUAL MIND CONTROL. I bet NOBODY reads this post or even cares because it doesn't have any "Likes" on FB

This was a draft and I am adding this final thought, that I have long held, before publishing it: try as I might to educate other grownups about their ignorant insistence that there are two sides to every issue and the other side are all evil liars with the truth that both sides are lying for the purposes of obtaining power through the control of  the thoughts of many like them, that the source of all power in all human endeavors is in membership, I can never get through to them while I watch them osmosis like absorb every bit of false, hateful, fear-mongering tripe spewed by their side and parroted as if it is their very own thoughts.

 I even have this vision of everyone walking around with a toilet lid on the top of their skulls there just for any control freak, including conspiracy mongers, race baiters, political hopefuls and commentators and pundits of all types to lift up, sit their arses down on and crap into their heads just about anything no matter how bizarre, improbable or contrary to actual fact, AS LONG AS IT HAPPENS TO CORRESPOND WITH  WITH THEIR DEARLY HELD personal "truths" AKA secret fears and prejudices, while I don't have a tinker's chance in hell of sitting my butt down on that seat and pooping one single word of truth into their bathroom plumbing fixture heads.

Their totally denied, deeply  buried  fears that spawn all sorts of unreasoned morally & intellectually bankrupt prejudiced feelings, beliefs & thoughts about everything from politics to race and sexual orientation all the while, if they are male, claiming "I ain't sceered 'o nuttin'" precludes even the possibility of absorbing anything resembling the truth, let alone going to the polls and changing the political landscape by casting  an informed, fearless vote for the truly worthy candidate (IF such an animal even exists & actually is running) who brings up very important topics instead of the myriad of distractions like the "ground 0 mosque" &  lame attacks and excuses to  bombing another middle east country for profit.

Review of unbranded $20 Samsung Galaxy S4 "Bluetooth Keyboard with Detachable Case" from Sprint

A city girl born & raised, I awoke at 5 a.m. on my uncle's  farm to the audible torture of a domesticated avian creature, undoubtedly dispensing revenge as compensation for his ultimate destination, screaming as only he can  every 30 seconds until actual daybreak in cock speak: "WARNING, the decent rising hour  of (sophisticated, charming, beautiful, intelligent human beings) is imminent at T minus 4 hours 30 minutes & counting" or maybe "Silly, stupid city girl YOU picked a BAAAD idea for a vacation, haha!"

Thus I arise on the first day of my "vacation" at 5 a.m. & suddenly I'm enjoying it again having smelled  the aroma of several of the feathered alarm clock's would-be offspring along with tidbits of nephews & nieces of some grunting, slopping wallowing creatures in  pens somewhere nearby, cooking in my aunt's frying pans.

 The oft repeated admonishments about revenge not being sweet are flat wrong!

So here I am at 6 am out in the barnyard feeding food to the food of the food's Gods, (me, giggles) & what do I see but the Uncle Piggy and he has big ol' luscious boobies like I'd  like expect on poor, distraught Aunt Piggy! And I'm like OMG WTF are they for? I'm talking about the teats on the boar hog, not those of his wifey, which we all know are are food dispensers  for the food of the Gods of  pigs. (OH MY GOD! I'm like, a..,a Pig God !).

And suddenly it hit me what they are for: I can use  them as Buetooth keypads for my Samsung S4 Galaxy because looking at them, bereft of nourishment for little piggies aspiring to make their debut on my breakfast plate, they seem to possess the exact same useful on my phone as they have on Uncle Piggy's chest, Unlike the "Sliding Bluetooth Keyboard with Detachable Case (compatible with Samsung Galaxy S4)" I recently bought.

Because I doubt if Uncle Piggy's boobs will undock, necessitating manually reentering codes to enable it again, every time I step out of range of  WiFi or remove it from the cradle. Yes I am certain that Uncle Piggy's blue teeth and boobie pad will work much better than the tiny keys on this  keyboard because his boobs are actually larger, not smaller than the keys on my phone to begin with!
