Facebook accepts it as my actual number - as do all my friends who call or test me. I can take it anywhere I want that has Internet access via an Ethernet port - even by using a BT HotSpot on my phone when travelling. My so-called landline is a GV number running on an ObiHai ObiTalk 200 - aka VoIP that I use over my fiber connection. It's the number I give out to people in REAL LIFE to call me - not my cell. I use my GV number because it does not change - even if my regular landline, VoIP and cell number *do*. I do have to agree with the general sentiments provided in this thread. I'd tell you to fire whatever Old you have making this call and fix your service so I can pay you money instead of it going to M$, but I may already be gone for good just out of spite that I'm now stuck paying for Slack. On this issue alone I have flipped from merrily setting up a server with dreams and a cc in hand, finally having a good excuse to support a service I love at $100/yr and likely beyond the life of this project, to swearing to never give this trash a dime. Our outreach to younger generations will now suffer for the decisions we will have to make around this. You have wasted my time by advertising support for 2FA, a major selling point of being able to use Discord, and making me jump through hoops installing 3rd party apps. However, I am now finding out as an intermittent G Fi customer who has not had conventional phone service for literally years (although I would honestly prefer we use our new burner numbers to 2FA for this project) that I am completely unable to secure my server the way we require. As I've said before: security is a primary concern, but mandatory 2FA for elevated roles for our less-secure communications is sufficient. We chose to use Discord over Boomer Discord (Slack) because it much better suits our needs, it's not a nightmare for me to admin, and between this and a GDrive I can actually enforce prevention of people sending around sketchy. As a result many of us are now communicating via Signal on new, dedicated GVoice numbers, however we also have a need for a general org channel that Signal cannot support. I am working on a project that strongly prefers our membership not use existing personal email addresses or phone numbers, but rather create unique ones for security purposes - a phone number that is unknown to be associated with a person is much less likely to be spoofed by a bad actor or some bored skiddie. I call this out in writing in order to obligate a response on the topic - schools searching for Discord 508 compliance may soon find this defect in search results.Įdit: Saved the thread in case my comment about 508 compliance is deleted. Impeding phones of any kind (not even speaking to VoIP, but it may count) may have section 508 concerns, which may mean that any publicly funded school diligencing discord for 508 compliance may be obligated not to use the platform because their implementation of phone verification may impair people with disabilities from verifying their identity (because their phone provider isn't supported, or because they use VoIP because VoIP affords them computer use capabilities that phone lines don't). We'll have to migrate to Matrix or equivalent if this isn't resolved because my direct cell provider is being confused for VoIP. I have a Google Fi ( ) number and I'm apparently impacted by this defect because Google doesn't differentiate between Fi and Voice.Īt this point, this is a breaking defect as I'm now locked out of discords I mod.
