The problem here is that all of the registration information that is listed for a number (OCN, LATA, etc) allows them to track back what TYPE of number it is based on what ILEC/CLEC it's registered with and how it's registered.

This means when I put my google voice number into some things, they can come back and yell that it's not a mobile phone, or that it's a virtual number, or whatever and disallow it.
