Phones with Multiples Ebay/PayPal pairs
 

So...if I want to have 10 eBay/PayPal pairs,

I should have 10 different phone numbers, one for each eBay/Paypal pair?

I have no problem getting multiple bank accounts, but it's having different phone numbers available that is making me shake my head

Yes you will need a new phone number for each pair. Someone from the US will be along shortly I'm sure with more specific advice.

So far the two best options I've found are:

#1 the cheapest Tracphone you can find ($9 or less) using the $20 airtime cards to keep them activated for 90 days at a time. (I've read you can skip a month before adding another $20 card without losing the number which would make 120 days 30 of which you would have no service but can not verify this myself). Tracphone has the LG optimus free on their website right now, you have to buy a $15 smartphone card though and spend more than $19 to get free shipping.http://www.tracfone-orders.com/bpdir...ialOffers=true

#2 is getting the cheapest GSM unlocked phone that will work with T-mobile pre-paid and buying a sim starter kit off the T-mobile website. They have a special right now for $3.99 Prepaid SIM Card Starter Kit | 3 in 1 Phone SIM Card Kit | T-Mobile. I was looking last night. Then you can reload the sim for $3 and it will give you 30mins of talk or texts and 30 days of service.Pay As You Go Phone Plans | Best Daily Prepaid Phone Plans | T-Mobile


FYI: When buying from the Tracfone website you can use stealth info for shipping and billing address. They only go by the actual credit card number, exp, and vvc. Possibly the zip from billing address also, but not 100% sure on that. *obviously this only works if you have access to the address.

Thanks - I have a tracphone right now, but how does one juggle all 10 accounts Do you have to buy different air time cards for all of them?

No you can not switch sims with tracphone. So if your running 10 stealth accounts, you will need 10 phones when using tracphone. It is not mandatory to keep the phone active if you plan on running turn and burn accounts. But if you plan on keeping the stealth account for longer than a year you probably want to keep the phone active. Other wise you could call up and change the number and create another stealth account with the same phone/new number.

not quite sure about t-mobile phones. The thread I read last night where I got most of this T-Mobile info made me believe you needed multiple phones as well but it was a few years old. I've read other more recent threads where people say they have one phone with multiple sims. Not sure though if they were talking about T-mobile pre-paid with unlocked GSM phones.

Hopefully some one with pre-pay T-mobile experience can answer this.

Another thing to keep in mind is whether or not you plan on using a bank account that you can withdraw to. If not you may want to get a smartphone to use for that stealth account so you can download the PP app so you can spend PP money at stores that accept PP. You will have to have the PP app to get the temp code.

Someone else just said they can only see the phone number in another post. I was wondering the same thing.
