US prices per code as of 2026-10-18. Quotes are exact where marked; other cells paraphrase the help page.
Three of the six refuse VoIP numbers in writing (Microsoft, Discord, OpenAI), and Telegram accepts mobile numbers only. Google, Telegram, Discord and OpenAI also tie a number to a limited number of accounts or verifications, so a fresh number matters as much as its line type.
