Would appreciate a reply from Apple regarding whether this is a problem that they are aware of
Since upgrading phone to iOS 18, I have had difficulty with some websites
identifying it as a VOIP phone when I have AT&T cellular service.
The number was originally a VOIP numbers, but was ported over 10 years
ago. Why is the issue showing up now and how do I fix it? Appreciate any
help - am pulling my hair out.

Most communications are VoIP in recent years, including typical iPhone voice communications.
That’s what VoLTE is, for instance. Voice over LTE, which is Voice over IP Multimedia.
As for why VoIP is showing as VoIP and not being properly faked as something else, that is a question for your carrier.
That would not have anything at all to do with the phone itself. The issue is with the database those web sites are using to identify your carrier.
Contact AT&T.
AT&T updated their modem firmware. It could have a bug. Let the AT&T support team know and they might have an over the air update they can push out.
