- artificialLimbs 6y agoTheir numbers aren't always accepted with various entities. I just tried to register with irs.gov, for example, unsuccessfully.
- hansvm 6y agoThere are whole blocks of legitimate carriers that aren't accepted with various entities. Last time I tried to make a Facebook account I went so far as to buy a phone and a cell plan to try to get a number that would validate in their system, but they wouldn't budge.
- zucked 6y agoYup - the numbers Google Voice has are tagged as 'VoIP numbers' in some dataset somewhere and are blacklisted by a fair number of services and blocked from 2FA or Sign-up. This has also happened to me when using MVNO carriers (Cricket, for example).
- kwanbix 6y agoI tried to use mine, and it is not recognized as a cellphone number, I imagine as a landline one.
- Broken_Hippo 6y agoIsn't Google Voice only in the US, though?

- robertlagrant 6y agoHow do you log into Google Voice?
- jasonv 6y agohttps://voice.google.com/ https://voice.google.com/ It can be set up to forward inbound texts to another number, or you can see them via the app. I haven't had the "blocked" issues others have, and.. in the case of the IRS, I do have someone who files my paperwork for me.
