Hi,

I would be very interested to hear whether anybody else has had any success with Paypal phone verification using a pay phone recently. Does mattcafc's technique work?

Also, if mattcafc could please confirm how recently he used this technique I would also be very grateful. Has it worked since March this year?

Thanks for reading...Can anyone help me please?

Thanks guys

Mattafc, You dont say???????? So a phonebook is not a database? You dont think that the phonebook is not online?

I give up with you lot i tell you.

I was registered with ebay but was suspended due to this new feedback rule...... no appeal process or explanation.

Anyway, I am able to register again however to get verification to sell again I need to get the code via a phone call etc.

So I cant register my existing phone number for obvious reasons

Does anyone have ideas or proven plans ?

Thanks

i myself have tried the telephonebox trick which i read on one of the threads
but am looking for a more reliable way
if anyone can help

[noel123ie]

why not use a friends/relatives address/phone no?

[ebay]

Has anybody got any suggestion besides the phonebox for the uk

ebayhateluv he is talking about the UK phone verification process, a whole different animal from the one in the U.S. Also, even in the U.S. lately if the PayPal phone # does not make sense to them or the account is created improperly, PP will immediately switch to an alternate, more secure for them form of verification. So beware.

Mate try not to be so narrow minded, as if you have all the answers, and READ my replies, take it in for a few seconds and then reply.

Yes I clearly said they can use the same information as stored in the phonebooks. HOWEVER, as I said the phonebook doesnt connect a NUMBER to a FIXED ADDRESS. Also a phonebook database, the one which is published nationally doesnt contain all numbers as you can choose to have your number removed from it.

He is saying they check the same data as seen in the nationally published phonebook. Which is 100% wrong for lots of reasons

Funny that when you enter an invalid phone number - it says something along the lines of "compared to publically available databases..."

What an arse you are. Oh - did I say that?

[mattcafc]

So how comes numbers work that are not publically available? Such as my private work number?

By private - its an unlisted number, not listed with direct enquires etc etc

Here's something that UK members might want to look into:

Get an additional number with a different ring tone
£1.75 per month

If you're tired of being your children's receptionist or fed up of answering other people's calls then Call Sign is just what you're looking for. You'll know who each call is for, or who is calling, because calls from certain numbers will have a different ring tone.

We'll give you an additional number for your phone, which will have a separate ringing tone when it is called. Who you give your Call Sign number to is up to you. It could be your children's friends, or an elderly relative, so you immediately know it's them when the phone rings. You can also use it to separate business and personal calls, or calls from fax machines.

If your BT phone line was connected after 01/08/07 this feature is currently unavailable on your line.

Get BT Calling Features including BT 1571, Call Waiting and more

Delta Computer Services - BT TwinTalk Call Sign switches

Here's another post about it (a little outdated): Second Phone Line? - Page 3 - UK Business Forums - the UK's most active help and advice forum for owners, managers and entrepreneurs of small businesses and startups.

I, personally, have no idea if it will work - Just saying it's an idea.

So does the telephone theory work for paypal or not? And if so i take it that the number has to be as close to the address you give as possible?
Are therestil no other ways around this???

Well my post was made a few days ago, so yes it works.

I have an address and post code on ebay that relates to the phone box location. Its not always anywhere near where I actually live and it works for me

Hi all
I just tried the phonebox method and for som reason when paypal called they asked me to input a 4 digit number which was given when you press continue for call me now or after 1 minute
I enterd the 4 digits from my n95 phone into the mic(bottom part of the payphone phone set,the part that you speak into) and it just wouldnt register it. So now they are going to send a letter.
Account is now messed up............
I had 3 attempts on the same call but it just wouldnt work....
Anyone know why?
Will i be able to use the same bank account for anpother account.
Its a real bummer because i did the entropay virtual card linking and bank linking. Went through all of this to find out it doesnt work.

PayPal payphone method does not work.
