Did evoice work for anyone?

I know it used to work, but it's not working for me. Has it worked for anyone recently?

eVoice has turned into an awful company.
At first they began automatically closing your account down after a few hours if they detect a phone call from eBay/Paypal/amazon/anywhere where phone verification is commonly needed.
They also limited the number of accounts you can purchase with a credit card at the beginning of this year.

Once you've exceeded a number of purchases using one card, that card is banned and blacklisted in their system.

Even though their numbers works for me, but their customer service is not and is absolutely awful.

Hmm.. that's strange. Do you have any idea which call forwarding services work in Canada?

absolutely, there relay numbers given are causing flags online. I personaly open an Amazon Checkout to try out, after I signed up for the services on my CBA I saw my status go from 'active' to 'suspended' five minutes later. Everything was excellent even credit card info, but frankly the evoice number could been flagged by Amazon during registration or they are now catching on to this.

For amazon the best numbers that still work for me (not ebay) are skype online numbers. There really good numbers to use for your registration with Amazon but it does cost $10 or get a GoPhone or a Quad band phone (unlocked), and shuffle area codes and numbers to suburban zip codes. For some reason Amazon thinks as online numbers as landlines which I discovered when calling for my personal account to the buyer hotline; their cs was indicating I contacted her from a landline... which it was only skype online number with subscription.

Plus BiN4RY, would you nto agree that evoice numbers have been rehashed? I have had some appalling calls on some of the ev numbers....even couple of police inquiry types...

GreenBean · #6 10-22-2012

evoice had some sort of involvement with another service (J2).

We were not even using their FREE trials. Paid up front .

Shocking is the politest term I would use in open forum.

@rsot, similar to calls we used to get.

Nearly all forwarding services recycles their old numbers, but I have never came across one on eVoice when I used it which is years back. Things might be different now, I don't know.

Used an ev number recently and had some worrisome calls to the number

GreenBean · #9 10-23-2012

They must have known you though?

Heavy breathing,

pain in the tuss types

close friends?

Soz, rsot. Could not resist.

J/K aside, when we used evoice we had two different law enforcement agencies call & leave messages.

rsot · #10 10-23-2012

Same here GB - law enforcement types...

Good one GB :P but yes worrisome type of calls...
