You can transfer a phone number from that sort of account to a Gmail account. I just tried it and it seems to work. Go into settings then transfer. It takes you to the legacy page to do the transfer, oddly.

Does this actually work?

The help site (https://support.google.com/voice/answer/1065667?visit_id=637...) states that:

> A Voice for Google Workspace account number to any other type of Google Account, including personal accounts and accounts using a different Google Workspace domain.

I am confused if my Legacy G Suite account is considered a Google Workspace account of if it's something different.

Yes it works, I moved a GV number from my Legacy G Suite account to a Gmail account.

Awesome. Thank you for the confirmation.

Sucks that it won't transfer the history but I am glad that I can at least keep the number and move it over.
