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?

Affect? Probably. Eliminate all together? Not at all. Some companies will care. Some companies won't even notice.
