It’s happened to me a few times with my Gvoice number. Which is really annoying because this is why I use it.

It usually gives no specific information about why it failed, but then I use my main mobile number and it works fine.

It used to happen for me on Telegram (I think it's been fixed within the last year though), and recently a startup (Mealplan) blocked it because it's a "voip" number. I even tried emailing and explaining, but they just said they don't support it.
