minus-squaresmeargle@lemmy.smeargle.fanslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·4 months 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-up3·4 months 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-up1·4 months agoInteresting, I thought it was the same everywhere. Where I live, sites can easily tell when my number is a VoIP or not.
minus-squarechristophskilinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 months agoHow do you tell the difference? is it a specific range of numbers?
minus-squaresmeargle@lemmy.smeargle.fanslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 months agoI’m not sure how it works, but if you look up VoIP/burner identification, there are a lot of services that offer it.
