I have a flip phone that I prefer to keep it always off with the battery removed - due to privacy reasons. I also have a text-only VOIP number (couldn’t find a service that accepted Monero and had calling functionality) and an email.

I’ve been looking for jobs and I’ve put my VOIP number (mentioning that it’s text-only) and my email on my resume. However, I didn’t put my flip phone’s phone number on it. So, I’ve just been wondering, is this really going to affect my chances of getting an job?

    Yes. Plenty of jobs won’t hire you if you don’t have a car (or a license). If they see they cannot contact you normally, what do you think? Recruiting usually likes to talk on the phone to see if A. You don’t sound/seem like a loon. B. You can be contactable by work during business hours. Also, if there are additional hurdles to contact you and/or verify your resume, they will likely just move onto the next applicant.
