Why GitHub Restricts Virtual & VoIP Phone Numbers
GitHub mandates two-factor authentication (2FA) for all contributing developers to safeguard the global software supply chain. GitHub checks incoming phone numbers to filter out untrusted VoIP ranges that could be compromised in account takeover campaigns. USAVerify Pro supplies pristine physical wireless SIM lines that pass GitHub's security audits without triggering risk flags.
