A lot of organizations now block VOIP numbers thanks to stringent KYC laws.
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.
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.
