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

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?

[-] smeargle@lemmy.smeargle.fans 1 points 5 months ago

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
