Re: PAYPAL request to verified phone number!!!
It lasts forever but it's seen from the PP system & reps that you use such service. Which in the long-term is not good and/or safe.
It was explained why 2 years ago. Also anyone can lookup their own number – you will see SOME of the things that the other side (eB/PP system using TeleSign & Syniverse) can see, like country, carrier, type, mobile country code. This gives you basic info.
So when you write some Google Voice, Burner App, any other iOS/Android App and/or internet service, you should be 100% sure that they do NOT gives you a real (physical) SIM-like phone number.
What's the best way? Of course a Pre-Paid SIM card with a real number and put the SIM into a real phone device (at best - into a non-smartphone, just a GSM - device, because they leak less sensitive metadata when eB/PP randomly pings).
