minus-squaresmeargle@lemmy.smeargle.fanslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoI 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.
minus-squarechristophskilinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoHmm 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?
minus-squaresmeargle@lemmy.smeargle.fanslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoInteresting, I thought it was the same everywhere. Where I live, sites can easily tell when my number is a VoIP or not.
