VoIP vs non-VoIP numbers

What the difference is, why some apps reject VoIP numbers, and which kind we sell.

What’s the difference?

A non-VoIP number belongs to a real SIM card on a mobile network, the same kind of number in your own phone.

A VoIP number is created by an internet phone service. It works for calls and texts over the internet, but it isn’t tied to a SIM card.

Why it matters for verification

Many apps, including WhatsApp, Telegram, banks and Google, check what kind of number you’ve given them. Because VoIP numbers are cheap to make in bulk, apps often reject them or treat them as suspicious.

What we sell

  • Verification numbers come from real SIM cards. They’re the type most apps accept.
  • Phone lines (coming soon) are VoIP lines for calling and texting. They’re great for business calls but are not meant for app verification.

Nothing is guaranteed

Even with real SIM numbers, an app can still refuse a number, for example if it has seen it before. That’s why we show live success rates and never charge for a code that doesn’t arrive.
