Default Tracfone not receiving Paypal Text??

Hi all,

Setting up my first Stealth. Following all the steps and just tried to confirm my phone# on Paypal. I activated my tracfone, then went to the site and registered my stealth street address and zip code on the phone. I tested the phone myself by sending texts to it no problem.

Just tried to get verification code sent by Paypal and not getting it. I only tried once and am posting here before trying again.

Anyone know why the text may not be going through?

Well SS, we must be missing something, because I have not seen anyone mention trouble with verifying Paypal with tracfone. Will keep researching and hopefully someone here may have an idea. Will post it here if I find out anything helpful.

tracfone still works. Sometimes you have to try different phone models.

Literally just set up 2 accounts and received SMS from PP. Using the LG440G and Samsung S150g. For a while I did not get the SMS's from PP but that has been a while since that happened last. Hope this helps.

funny thing is I made a paypal account a week ago and used the LG440G and it worked. Did the same thing today with a new account and got another LG and this time I couldn't get sms messages from it. So I looked around google and found that other members here are also having problems:(

I opened a couple of accounts back in March with Google Voice and worked fine. I can't seem to be able to do this anymore. Anyone has the same problem? The texts don't come through to Google Voice

Paypal wouldn't be able to see the name on your Tracfone account.

I'm also having issues verifying via text with PP using a Tracfone Samsung S150g on two of my Accounts.

Per PP,
"Your mobile number was added, but there was a problem sending the code to confirm it. Make sure your number is correct and try sending the code again."

Zip codes, names, etc... all match.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

Sometimes you just have to wait, or keep trying other numbers it will eventually go thru.

Do your tracfones have blue or a black writing on the white SIM card? Most of the time the black writing SIM cards will receive the texts while the blue colored ones will not. Also, tracfones will not receive short codes (also known as premium sms messages). In certain areas of signing up and confirming things throughout PP they will try and send the shortcode texts, which a tracfone will not receive (and for that matter GV does not receive shortcode texts as well).
