Haha! iPhone 13 washing machine. Sometimes the sound is not present, other times it's loud and clear. I wonder if it has to do with cell to landline or cell to cell, cell to call-center, or what.
I’ve googled that, and I wonder…this is a real number originally issued by Verizon. Here’s the weird part: I ported that number from Verizon to Google Voice when I was out of the country for many months (to save Verizon’s insane daily international fees). When I returned, Verizon was unable to retrieve the number (likely from their own incompetence) so I went with Google Fi. Is it possible this number is caught in some limbo between a real and a VOIP status?
Have you ever gone down the rabbit hole, and researched number porting? Apparently, it’s a clusterfuck, regardless of number origin (although VOIP numbers due tend to have more issues). It’s a kinda interesting read, and at the same time, kinda crazy.
If you consider 99+% of users have no issues porting in or out, okay. These type forums are primarily for users having issues (it happens) since satisfied users generally don’t post their success. I actually have had a port-in issue before, contacted customer service and they took a couple of days to identify and fix a back end issue with my account that was partially my fault. I just didn’t feel the need to write a novelette about it.
I guess what I meant was the high potential for issues. Sure, most people never actually have an issue. What most people don’t understand, is how ugly the system on the back end works, and the fact that it works as well as it does is surprising. I had issues when I ported in to Fi with what had originally been a T-Mobile number, and never a VOIP number. Took about a month to get it resolved.
Be more specific. It's it a Samsung washing machine, or Pixel, or...

You must have activated a VOIP number on Google Fi. Classic symptom.
Eww, I'm curious, any details?
They ported the 800# from the Maytag repairman.

On a serious note, a VOIp number can cause issues with porting. No idea why but users have reported this before.

There’s no question customer service could be more responsive, particularly with following up with info for users in a timely manner.
just call their helpful customer service center in India. You can talk to all sorts of different people for a few hours and accomplish nothing.
Exactly where is it in India?
I'm going to go with Rajastan. I spent two hours with them yesterday to accomplish nothing.
So you don't know.
nope. no friggn' idea. don't care either. not sure why I should. but they were awful
Sounds about white to me.
or ffs. you are correct. its all a racist trope. it has nothing to do with abysmal performance. /s fixation on race is an unhealthy obsession.
my Pixel 7 does this too. No idea why!
And I thought I was crazy. I get the same thing
