anyone know how I can obtain a UK number here in the USA.

I have seen some sites but they are too expensive. anything like google voice in the UK would be great

tht

would be great! How would they pay to provide it to you for free ?

Like Google voice USA, right.

The purpose of this would be what? This site does not allow iilegal activity

Not free, but Swytch works well. You can port a UK number or obtain a new one for £5 + VAT = £6 per month.

You can sign up to Sipgate (www.sipgate.co.uk) which is free but you need a UK address to receive a code by mail to activate the account - plus you need to use a UK VPN when signing up or you'll be given an 05 number rather than a "normal" UK landline prefix.

Not free ($6.50/month) but you can get a UK Skype number https://www.skype.com/en/features/online-number/

Thank you, it looks good but its a landline number, I need to receive texts also

Also, roaming in the US on a T-Mob PAYG SIM in a cheap dumb phone, texts are 8p each
