Many services will reject a VOIP number anyway. I know from experience. Its also been a lot harder to get one recently without already having a phone number.
Yes, came to say the same. It's very easy to get a voip number in most countries. But many places that want to use it for ID purposes (finance etc including paypal) will know the voip allocations and block them.
