I've had my Google Voice number rejected at a lot of places that want an cell number for SMS -- I assume it's flagged as a VOIP number rather than a cell carrier number.
I recently ported that same number to GoogleFi and now it works everywhere.
Whatever the database is that they use, it's updated quickly, I tried using my new GoogleFi number at my bank the day after I ported it to Fi and it worked, while they still refuse to send an SMS code to my Google Voice numbers.
- csdvrx 5y agoThey probably use something like twilio API that can tell you which provider is behind a NANP phone number.
- landemva 5y agoYes. 'it's flagged as a VOIP number'. Last week I had a DHL delivery and they required account setup so I could validate my delivery address, or that was the excuse. Account setup required validation via email and SMS. SMS never arrives to VoIP phone.
