VoIP when I tried it around 2 years ago, so pretty much useless.
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.
How do you tell the difference? is it a specific range of numbers?
I'm not sure how it works, but if you look up VoIP/burner identification, there are a lot of services that offer it.
Ah I see, yes that would be possible as a telco provider but not as a layperson
