Virtual Numbers / VoIP ok?
 

I researched this but the posts are a bit older and couldn't find a definitive answer.

I guess google voice is heavily abused so that isn't safe to use in case it's already linked with a banned account, right?

What about other VoIP services? Like 1-800 #s and such. Would that be OK for Amazon verification + for customer support? Or will Amazon have an issue?

Thanks

Gazinbali, there's a lot of pages that advertise receive sms online "free". But are you saying you use one of these services to verify your account and leave it up there on your account profile? I'm not sure what you are trying to say about it.

Still looking for a definitive answer on VoIP services, even paid ones. I guess google is heavily abused so maybe that's where the risk is. But other paid services I think a lot of businesses buy 1-800 VoIP numbers. Shouldn't that be fine? It's about the same price as a tracphone per month, so I think a VoIP service would be more convenient since you could manage it online. Or even eventually go to a customer help type service number that we can rent. Would those work if we scale our business? What happens when Amazon calls and it gets to a customer service rep?
