There are a lot of simple steps that will help you enable Google Voice from anywhere outside the USA. We activated Google Voice from India but the same procedure should work with other countries as well.
Step 1: Get a US Phone Number. This process should not take more than five minutes.
Step 2: Download and install Hotspot Shield (make sure you decline the optional toolbar). This is required because you can’t sign-in to Google Voice from a non-US I.P. address.
[*] Hotspot Shield may insert audio ads in websites which are annoying but the reason I recommend it is because the software requires no configuration and you can easily disable it with a simple right click.
Step 3: Start Hotspot Shield, if it’s not already running on your system, and then visit IP2Location to confirm that your location is listed as “United States.” If not, disconnect your current Hotspot Shield session and reconnect to get yourself a new IP Address.
Step 4: Launch the Express Talk softphone software (you may have previously downloaded this software for activating your local US phone number).
Step 5: Open voice.google.com in your web browser and sign-in with your Google account. If you get an error message saying – “Google Voice is not available in your country” – clear your browser cookies and try again.
