Paypal Sends TEXT to GoogleVoice Number ?
 

Hello Everyone !
Nowadays , Paypal has been limiting the accounts less compared than before !
They have started a new verification system via sending text to the number on file to make sure you are the owner of the account.
I had entered a googlevoice number in my paypal account !
When I was trying to send the payment from my paypal , a new window popped up saying "We will send text to the number xxxxxxx (no. on file ) ".
I clicked "OK" , and new dialog box appeared which said " We have sent you a code , please enter it below ".

But I never recieved the text . I tried requesting the code again n again for like 3 times , but was unable to get the text code from paypal on my googlevoice number.
But normally , when i try to send a text to my googlevoice number , it appears in text inbox !
Anyone can suggest virtual number which can recieve text msgs from paypal ?

Thanks

Apparently this is because Paypal send short codes sms and Google voice may or may not support it.
It would be nice if anyone could shed some light about it.

Length of the code doesnt matter !
I have tried sending a manual sms to the number , 4 digit code , 6 digit code.
all were recieved perfectly by the GV number.
Trouble is with recieving the code from Paypal !
