I picked a free number, tested it, and it worked. So I paid to make the number mine. They let the sale go through - $15 from my Visa - then they shut down the number, for "a violation of terms & conditions"; but ***(1) I used the line the same way BEFORE I paid as after, and ***(2) I was using it how they they suggest (to open a private account on Whatsapp). They don't know why the system deleted the account, but they won't fix it or refund my card. Google won't issue a refund either.
