Why Western Union Restricts Virtual & VoIP Phone Numbers
Western Union is one of the world's largest remittance networks and operates under stringent global anti-fraud oversight. When setting up a digital profile or approving high-value remittances, Western Union verifies that the sender's phone number is a legitimate physical mobile line.
