many banks, financial institutions, government offices require an actual phone number ( not VoIP # ) to get verification for OTP's or 2 step verifications
I was wondering about that too. We have a US VoIP phone number that we've had for 15 years on Skype that will be disabled too. So now no phone number nor ability to call/text non-Skype numbers nor call landlines 😥 People could call us locally and leave a voice message.
