And vs Parallelism

I have a question on And vs Parallelism

The word AND creates a compound sentence, hence we require a plural verb with And.

Now my question is whether the following sentences are correct or not

The VOIP numbers are configured for Sanjiv, Ravi , and Vinod

The VOIP number is configured for Sanjiv, Ravi , and Vinod

Another doubt : When we use AND as a parallel marker , then all the sentences using AND will have plural verbs only

Both the sentences are correct, bcs are/is refer to numbers/number not the names.
