The number is spoofed yes, but the SIM card still has to be real in order to connect.

Kinda irrelevant in this context though, since OOP (allegedly) listed the spoofed number on craigslist.

Oh definitely, but the person I originally replied to asked if they were servers, not real SIM cards.

They asked if the numbers were from servers. No, the numbers are fake. The calls may be backed by SIMs, and that is an interesting implementation detail, but doesn't change how to treat them (which is don't try to retaliate)
