Google voice vs Text free
 

Text free works to get messages from Paypal whats the difference in using that free app then using google voice ?

From Textfree's website

Why do we expire numbers?

Our system automatically recycles phone numbers to new users after 30 days of inactivity. If you have minutes attached to your number, they'll disappear too.

depends I guess

Some people have been saying Google Voice gets you limited instantly lately.

Don't know myself, though.

Re: Google voice vs Text free
 

With any free service you use you run the risk of using a recycled number.
There is a very easy way to find out if a number has been previously used with ebay though. Make sure any number used has NOT been previously used on ebay and youll be fine with either google voice or texfree - both of which I use when creating my accounts - all the way from 5/500 to 5,000/500,000.

I already tried asking PayPal and Ebay....they hung up on me!

Re: Google voice vs Text free
 

Seems kinda obvious what they are implying to do... which, actually...damn good idea tbh. I've never worried about recycled numbers on TextFree/Text Plus/etc but in the future I'll test it out like that just to be sure.

Its quite simple.
I have no intention of posting it in the open though.

Hey, can you please let me know so I can assure the number I get is good to use on paypal and ebay. would be much appreciated, thanks

Re: Google voice vs Text free
 

Google voice: Its yours forever. For free.
Textnow: You need to constantly use it, to keep the number.

Interesting thing is, Paypal detects that it is a Google voice number. And I guarantee you, they will add some minus points to the score of the account. Nevertheless, it shouldnt be a problem

If you want to check if the number has been used on Paypal just try to login with it, you might get responds like "You haven’t confirmed your mobile yet. Use your email for now." if it hasnt been used.
