A lot of services block known voip numbers. I remember my Google voice number not working on a lot of sites
I use Google voice for everything so I wonder which you’re thinking of
Lots is US banks reject VoIP numbers.
Discord rejects them as well but I doubt many here use it.
I don’t use it for those cases. Mostly use it when I don’t want a website to have my data. I use my real one for gov and banking
GV doesn't work anymore for many services, such as banks.
I can’t remember at this point, as google stealthily reclaimed my number at some point because the decided it wasn’t being used enough
Possibly the public ones, that don't require an account or payment.
