Thank u.
Is voip number same as other phone numbers,if the person turn off the phone, if i call him i will still hear one ring?or no ring?
(Because i m trying to find a friend, he left hospital last week but no longer able to contact.)
It has more to do with the current settings for the number than what an owner is doing with their phone (or other HW tied to the number). Obviously, if the hardware the number is tied to isn't on, they're not going to know they are receiving a call. But - they can have it on DND and you'll go directly go to voicemail without hearing a ring regardless if the phone is on.
There might be some non-technical reasons why you can't reach him. Perhaps they've received a ton of calls and just haven't gotten back to everyone?

That really depends on the service. With Google Voice, you can link both mobile and landline numbers.
Many VoIP services support softphones too. So any device with a browser or have an app that supports it can use the service (laptop, desktop, smartphones, tablets, etc.).
You need a $50 adapter to use it with regular old land line phones.
No, you don't need an adapter.
I've had Google Voice for many years with my land line and it's free.
Other phone numbers can also be added and/or removed in the Google Voice settings.

Apples and oranges here.
You can "link" your google voice number to any existing service so that anyone calling your GV number will ring to said existing service (landline, VoIP, Cellular, etc.)
The adapter (ATA) is needed if you just want to use your Google number with your land line equipment/wiring without another service. The ATA essentially acts as a gateway/converter between the VoIP/SIP service and the older POTS equipment.
