Changing phone numbers when limited
 

I have an account that has just been limited and found that I can still change phone numbers. Now, if I change it, and then add the orignal number to my new stealth account (since I only have access to one phone number and am too stingy to buy a prepaid thingy) would this be allright?

Does paypal record the phone numbers do you think? I know it is very hard to keep track of, so probbably not, but wondered if they would catch on if I put in my main phone number then if it gets limited, changed it, and then put it into a new account.

Thanks.

No, it wouldn't be alright. Why would you got to all the trouble of setting up a new stealth operation just to see it collapse for the sake of a phone number?

How much is your new account worth? Certainly the cost of a prepaid thingy I would suggest.

But it's up to you

Pp keeps tracking of all types of written info. Phone number included. H*ll, when you call pp, the automated system will say if the number is not registered to your account, "Would you like to add this number?". Not a good thing.

You could not doe this, as mentioned, PayPal never forget!!!

What I mean is, I have one phone number that I haven't used for paypal. Let's say I put it into a stealth account and if it gets limited, instead of buying a prepaid thingy I change the number on the limited paypal, and then insert my main phone number into the new one.

Now, are you saying that paypal tracks every phone number you ever put in?

^ Yes, they record all your info and it stays on their 'database' of account information.
