New stealth mobile sim cards?
 

Seems that ebay are making verification harder from when I was active a few months back now, and they require a phone number for verification.

Now when it comes to buying pre-paid mobiles or sim cards are concerned, I'm at a loss.
How do I buy these and register them without using my own details.

Why would you need to register your info if they are prepaid?
I have a prepaid phone and they don't have any of my information on file.

what about a phone forwarding service? I'm sure they have them in AU.

I haven't purchased these before, do they come with a sim already installed?

All GSM prepaid phones come with a SIM card. Go to the store, buy in cash, activate and register nothing. If any ask you to register, you can put whatever bogus information you want. This is not hard...

Will the phone sim card even work for eb phone verification in aust? Don't think so!!!

Different country regulations.

Australian requirements are different from USA>:smash:

You're telling me EB can see the information you registered on a prepaid phone in OZ???

OP is questioning what to do at purchase. That's how I read it.

We cant buy prepaid in OZ without ID

Oh ok, now OP's question makes sense. Can't believe they really enforce something like that. What about buying online with VCC or the usual stealth prepaid cards?

You would still need to give them proof of ID, license or such.

Now if you can buy sim cards on online auction sites, how do you activate them.

Yep, same question but without buying the whole cow. :noidea:

Or can I use phone forwarding for this problem, something I have never used or know how to use.

I just checked gmail, it again is only available in the US.

I'm getting really p*ssed off.

I know there is away around this as I've watched certain sellers on eb, and they don't have a problem opening many accounts.


I literately have half a house load of legit stuff to sell, but no useful accounts. :tears:

A little help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, i use skype

Go to Coles buy 10 sim cards activate them online stlth details give that number only need compatible phone unlocked or whatever
Or sign up to faktortel

Don't think eb phone verification will work with mobile no, use phone forwarding services.

What phone forwarding services are available in Australia?

I read all the time that eb verification doesn't work with mobile phones, but all my EB accounts are pre-paid mobile phone activated. Maybe a while ago...

Eb now requires land lines. they did my verification and i gave my work one. They Do not check if land line is registered to you or not. Phone calls most of the time are automated. But if trouble hits the fan THEN u need to think quickly. BE positive and prepared. You get a call from CHINA. They DO NOT have too much information on PP infact NON with them. These people have limited access. I did act for a friend of mine a month ago and was successful. Infact, they just want to check YOU answer the PHONE that is ALL> If you are NOT there they make PHONE appointment and you just make sure you are there. I have SKYPE as well but on standby.

Hey m8 why dont ya google faktortel, fly number, sonetel there just a few that work in Aus that i know of could be more.

you can only use land line numbers, why you need sim for mobile?..

Doesn't make sense as to why, as most people these days have only have mobiles??
And in Australia, you have to register a mobile with real ID, so makes even less sense.

you can use prepaid mobiles for phone verification in aus - have done this 6 times and as of yesterday confirmed works.

Go to Coles, buy a Telstra pre-paid SIM card for $2, log stealth details online (i.e name, address etc). Telstra allows you to call forward your new mobile number (others do not). You do not need to show ID when buying this.
