Google Voice Business or alternative for Wholesaling?

Question

Hey BP, I need your help! So I recently compiled several motivated seller lists and began to call them. I was using Google Voice in order have a local number as well as a separate number that would be strictly for business . The other day I got through about 100 calls, when out of the blue Google Voice would no longer complete my calls. I then logged in on my laptop to find out my account had been suspended. They did not state the exact reason for this but I assume it is because I am making a large volume of calls per day and Google may have flagged me as spam. So, my question is, does anyone know if this problem can be avoided if I upgrade to a Google Voice Business account? Or is there another service that is relatively inexpensive that would be more ideal for me to utilize? Thanks in advance!

I’ll have to look into adding another local number. They reinstated my google voice number a couple hours ago so we’ll see how long it lasts.

As for having a local number, even when I reach out to contractors and other tradesmen, they have been hesitant to work with me due to my number showing up as out of state. I just figured it might help me out a bit to at least have a number with an Ohio area code. But I’m sure you’re correct either way. This is a tough business local number or not.

Some phones allow for duel (sometimes digital) SIM cards. If your phone allows for this, you could speak with your provider about getting a "local" number to wherever you're looking to call into.

My question is, why do you need a local number? Most people ignore phone calls from even local numbers due to the high spam rate. You could use almost any number and likely get the same number of voicemails you do now.
