I've gotten prepaid sims for things but obviously that's not really a feasible method for your main life phone.

In Japan, a lot of things don't take calls from VoiP (+81-050-xxxx-xxxx) numbers. Certain businesses and such won't accept them as contact info, either, as I discovered trying to rent my first apartment by myself.
