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

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?

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
