Understanding the difference between VoIP and Non-VoIP numbers is crucial for anyone using virtual numbers for verification.
What is a VoIP Number?
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) numbers are generated through software and don't require physical SIM cards. They're cheap to produce and often used by businesses for call centers.
Why Services Block VoIP Numbers
Because VoIP numbers are easy to mass-produce, they're frequently used by spammers and scammers. Major platforms like Google, Facebook, and WhatsApp have built sophisticated systems to detect and block these numbers.
The Non-VoIP Advantage
Non-VoIP numbers are tied to real physical SIM cards. They pass all carrier verification checks and are indistinguishable from regular user numbers.
At BloomSMS, we exclusively provide Non-VoIP numbers to ensure the highest success rates for our users.
