I've heard that vnumber might eventually realize you're using these to verify eBay and/or Amazon accounts, but I haven't personally had this happen. And I agree, vnumber is awesome!
jbuntz, aren't you worried that Amazon may try to call you on that number? If you change it every 24 hours, I'm sure you're looking at an instant limitation the second they can't reach you.

peoples' number change all the time, if you get a limitation, then i think if you would update the number, it would be fine..
i don't expect amazon to call frequently like paypal/ebay does.
Why would they? When you sell a lot, they want to make sure you're not a crook, you have a business plan, it's usually just a courtesy call. I don't know what happens when I don't pick up. I always have about a grand go through in week, and then I get a phone call. Usually just a "hey what's up" courtesy call. But I'm sure it's to prevent fraud.
I created a new acct. and after about three hours my phone rang & it was from amazon but I didn't answer. Then a few minutes later my account was blocked....WTF!!!
I think Amazon will only call within the first couple of hours of a new acct.

Not really, even if they did I woudn't answer, I only answer calls that I'm expecting or on my contact list. I doubt if they would suspend your account because you decided to change your number.

Virgin won't suspend your account, I mean don't you think Amazon will limit your account if they call a disconnected number?
how you know what i was selling
i have never received a phone call from amazon before.
what do they ask you?
ah yes, I have no idea what you're selling. However, aren't most things considered high risk nowadays?
It's usually a fairly casual call. They ask me if I have enough inventory, and I buy these from a supplier, sometimes they call on new accounts just to see how it's going. It's an odd call, I'm not going to lie. It's way different than the paypal phone calls.
