It is possible to get a real cell number from a big name carrier and then port the number to VoIP company to use VoIP service with an original cell number.

In a lot of places, cell carriers enforce KYC too though.

If you get a cell number with a SIM, then port that number to a VoIP, how does KYC matter since you are going.to have to give that number to people with your name, so businesses or offices can call you through VoIP service?

Maybe, but if anything bad happens to originate from that number, the port history is still visible and now they have a suspect.

Stick with only having a landline until you can get over yourself and your self aggrandizment.
