The process is the same for all phone providers. Doesn't matter, they all take the same time. It is a govt mandate, after all.

I've always gotten a new number and just forwarded my 1-number to it. Honestly couldn't tell you what any of my VoIP phone numbers are. I don't know and never use those directly. I don't give those numbers out.

To me, phone numbers are like IPv6 IPs.  I know they exist, but don't really care specifically what they might be. ;)  Of course, I do know my 1-number that forwards all calls.  Suppose I could transfer that number to VoIP.ms, but haven't bothered.
