Normally I would explain to them that VoIP.ms is a third-party service I don't control, and that they should create their own account and pay for their own DIDs, but I've heard so many horror stories about Google -- trying to explain the context would make things worse.

So I'm going to create a second VoIP.ms account to give to them. Not going to put any DIDs in the account unless they complain, since I'd rather not blow $20 on an account I will never use.

EDIT: I did end up adding a DID to the account.

Each time I submit the app for approval, I am told either that I have not provided test VoIP.ms credentials (I have, and at my own expense) or that the app does not display notifications correctly on Android Auto (it does, based on my own testing).

If Google wants developers to create apps for the Android Auto platform, it needs to do better than this. I'm out.

They've sent me an email confirming that they want two sets of credentials.

I've submitted a support ticket to VoIP.ms asking them if they would be willing to provide two sets of test credentials.

VoIP.ms has indicated they are willing to provide test credentials.
