Maybe not the answer you're looking for, but I use VOIP numbers because I need a US number but I usually don't live in the US and don't have a US SIM card. Google Voice and Hushed are two options, you can find other services. I have found banks, credit card companies, and government agencies accept the VOIP number. I can't remember the last time I got called by any government agency, or the last time I had occasion to call one. A couple of services have refused to accept a VOIP number. Square Cash comes to mind, I just stopped using that. When traveling or living abroad I may get a local phone number, but since everyone I need to communicate with, including businesses, seem to use messaging apps like WhatsApp and Line I generally use those with wifi or a data-only SIM.
