Yes on some of the survey sites I have seen that they need to match your area code with your address to verify. I have found that if I use my real area code with my online number then that usually works. best of all it is not signing up with fake information because you still get the phone numbers on your online voice service.
I do not sign up with any offers with fake information. This is why I look for offers that I can signup with using my online phone service number. I am right now looking for some more free online numbers that you can use that may work better. I love being able to check my online messages from my computer.
I hope this helps if not just hit me back and ill try and help some more. If i find a better online phone i will post it here.
Good luck everyone!
