Google Voice have had this limitation in place for as long as I can remember. It is definitely not a limitation of the GVJackApp itself.

Currently Google Voice only issues phone numbers to US based Gmail accounts that also have access to an existing US phone number to use for security and verification purposes at the time of sign up. For reference, the latter limitation is also detailed in the GVJackApp product description on the PCPhoneSoft home page.

I can definitely confirm that others that live outside the United States have found creatives ways around it so you may want to Google it.

I should be Incoming calls only. Google does not let account holders from outside the U.S. to make outgoing free calls .
the easiest way is to set up the account when you are in the U.S. and have a U.S. phone available for the verification call. Works fine.
