I probably connected the number before their anti-voip policy was enacted. This is true in a number of places. They have no policy against using a voip number; they just hope you won't register one.

I might try a couple of things:

1. Call Capital One customer service and yell at them.

2. Go visit them in person somewhere and yell at them. Bring a phone that rings when they dial the number.

3. Register a carrier number with them, and then, behind Capital One's back, port that number to your Google Voice account.

You can activate a card by just going to the URL printed on the sticker attached to the card. No need to use any phone number.

To the last point no you can’t.

I’m sure I could have figured it out eventually but once their proprietary id scanner rejected my passport I gave up and closed my account.
