I use venmo to pay and receive payments with GV as my only phone number. I have a data only plan. I don't remember when I signed up, but it's possible I was initially authenticated when I had a real phone number.I think gv works for most everything except a very few outliers... Venmo is the one that comes to mindA problem with Google Voice is that in some cases the the voip phone number isn't recognized as a valid number for user authentication with some websites and apps. Some places want a phone number from an established wireless carrier likely under the assumption that a number that has payment associated with it is less likely to be used by a scammer. If you won't ever need to use it for authentication purposes Google Voice is great.
