Republic a "virtual number"

[joell.2r1v2c]

Hi this is the second time this has happened with Republic. My standard Republic number is classified as “virtual” and I can not authenticate with say the IRS or a CC company. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks

There was an earlier thread on IRS verification here:

IRS Verification Fails

Hi, just needed to reverify my IRS account. One of the steps is to send a text to your cell phone. When I tried to my Republic phone, I kept on getting the error below and the IRS says it needs to use regular mail to finish the verification! Thanks. [irs]

There is further information on authenticating with payment systems available at:

Thanks didn’t search IRS

I will note the IRS only takes postpaid numbers from the major carriers and no MVNOs numbers or prepaid providers will work with them

I use my moto for access to the US Gov verified global travel system for text passcodes without doing anything unusual - worked fine first time and since.
