The post's own point is that these identities print their contact details into the banner artwork.

Line type

Line typeVoIP
CarrierSKYPE P2P
Rate centreST PETERSBURG, FL

phonevalidator.com labels the line LANDLINE while naming SKYPE P2P as the carrier in the same row. The carrier is an interconnected VoIP provider, which is what the classification here follows.

Looked up 2026-09-13 at localcallingguide.com and phonevalidator.com. This is a lookup of the line itself. A VoIP line is not evidence on its own.
