How reliable is this? Is it VoIP based or actual phone numbers that will be accepted everywhere?

Why does it being voip make it useless?

I don't think I managed to find one site that would accept a VoIP number. Google, Discord, Twitter, Azure, OpenAI, etc, all want real numbers.

Hmm I'm not sure I understand what you're saying, here in the UK there is no way to tell whether a number is a VoIP number or a physical land-line. Is that not the case where you are?

Interesting, I thought it was the same everywhere. Where I live, sites can easily tell when my number is a VoIP or not.
