usually they check for VOIP numbers and give you an error. Has to be legit.

Never had that problem with the Google voice service

Yeah yeah it's google, but it gives numbers that work

Google voice is hit or miss. It's worked for a lot of smaller sites for me, but the bigger / more corporate it is, the less likely it seems to work.

Last time I checked, Google Voice is only available for US residents. Not sure if there's alternative.
