Paypal: "We couldn't verify this phone number"

[damionjm]

okay well i have created a stealth paypal, added everything from bank acc to debit cc. I have money in bank account but this is my third pp.

Am using the account where i signed up from however thats not the address on file or near it as its like my address in georgia and am in new york for instance...same distance though.

When i called them they say i shoudl try back in 2-3 hours. When i try it keeps asking to call me ,ive only changed the number once. the first one i removed and ive had the account for like 2 weeks. got limitation yesterday and sorted it out same day...they asked me for photo id and to confirm address and cc statement.

I got limited about 20 minutes after adding a bancore visa. Lucky me i sweet talk the agent and didnt end up sending id documents and sent a legitimate statement which matched the address but was just not for my visa. THe person didnt even checked . Limitation lifted without id.

Now when i try to do back this transaction for 2k they want to call. I try for 20usd same thing. I am asking if there is any service where i can use which will by pass or give me a number so i can pass their phone verification.

Textfree now aint working. So when i click to pay an invoice, they ask to call but when i click call it says it cant verify my number. I add another and its asking to select the address where it matches.

I have no problem doing the deposits if I could even get to that point with paypal. I have added bank accounts to other paypal accounts without this problem of them even asking for a phone number.

[danshan]

yes many people have had this problem with a landline and here all people will tell you is

1. I dont have this problem it must be how you created the account
2 use google voice, text +89676 use this app that app but none that I have tried work

I call gas stations to confirm my landline problems with paypal

I have a theory...I think the problem might be when registering the Paypal and Using a "Free" phone forwarding number. I use Vumber and I've never had this problem.

you mean vnumber? I've tried that, same thing

Yes i have quite a few of them

Op something just doesn't add up here, actually nothing adds up here, have you tried a burner? This bit reminds me a lot of the clock people. No way you can't verify by phone everyone else can.

[danshan]

Please introduce me to everyone because I cant

[newjerseymax]

Used all methods mentioned and no problem. Cant explain why not working...

when i used vumber - the call came through and asks me if to press 1 to accept - by then the verification numbers are read. how do you get the 5 digits? is there a way w/vumber to bypass accepting the calls with a 1.the recording is already over by the time i answer the vumber call. thx.

[danshan]

you got farther than most with Vumber and that is why I have never believed anyone that said they used vumber for this process

[stealthychew]

^ i had on the "announce call" - so the call was not automatically routed (which is why I pressed "1" to accept the call). i changed it to - do not notify - so it would be direct call - but you're saying that Vumber will not work? i was going to use it, but i should probably use google voice, correct?

[danshan]

they both suck for this process, the phone verification process does not work unless you have a real registered landline. VOIP and cellphones do not work period! Someone tells me they use them all the time I say hell no!

[danshan]

I mean think about it pp is trying to confirm a location and how can you confirm a location with an internet phone number of any kind or a cellphone.

if your girlfriend wants to confirm your home the cell phone or magicjack wont work, she has to call the house number and you have to answer it and let her talk to the roommate so she believes you LOL

i had phone verification work on the cheapest trac phone 2x with paypal. i am in US.

at first, i had a stealth number - so when it asked for phone verification - i had to change my number - and for the first 24 hours - it only tried to dial the old number. the next day, it dialed the new number trac phone and it worked. this was in May 2013.

your trac phone area code should match the city where you say your address is.

[danshan]

phone verification and confirm location might be two different things I am not 100 sure of that.

why should your tracfone area code matter?

what sense does that make to confirm location?

[stealthychew]

^ i'm no expert, obviously. i just think that it might be suspect if you say you live in 90210 and your telephone is 212, not 213. i don't recall if the request was verify or confirm. i'll let you know as soon as i open a new one. i've only had one stealth closed and that closed the legit working account cause i sent money from it. otherwise, i've never had a suspended EB. then again, i don't sell much.

Lot of posts to argue otherwise...I just used a voip last night for a new PP US account - no issues
