Best United States Phone Service for Verification
 

For folks with multiple accounts.

What is your favorite solution, what phone(s) are you using and what provider.

I was thinking of going with tracfone, but was curious if there was a better option.

Tracfone + Google Voice.

Winning combination :thumb:...for US accounts.

Re: Best United States Phone Service for Verification
 

I saw there is a $3 per month tmobile option. However they only list phones for $80 and up. My old samsung was not compatible (probably 5 years old). I need to find a list of compatible phones.

What happens if you get a recycled number from google voice...won't that get you banned?

Re: Best United States Phone Service for Verification
 

I don't think you understand the comment I made. You don't use the GV number to verify anything, the GV number is a replacement for the tracfone number for ebay, but it's a number you give PayPal as your real number.

FYI, Even landline, Cell numbers get recycled.

Re: Best United States Phone Service for Verification
 

It sounds like you are saying, you buy a tracfone. You use that to validate ebay/paypal, then you change the number on the account to a GV number. Then you use the freed up tracfone again for verification each time you open a new account, followed by replacing with GV.

Do I have that right?

Re: Best United States Phone Service for Verification
 

Pretty close, let me break it down.....
1. Activate Tracfone
2. Open Gmail and Google Voice using Tracfone number.
3. Open ebay account and verify it with Tracfone
4. Open Paypal and give PayPal GV Number as Primary Number
5. After 30 days (thats just me) switch Ebays phone number over to GV number.

6. Request a new Phone Number and repeat steps 2-5 (Tracfone lets you change a phone number 3 times + the original number you requested)

I use dingtone

Re: Best United States Phone Service for Verification
 

So tracphone is the best what is the price say at Walmart is it like $19.99 and comes with enough minutes etc for a month

Re: Best United States Phone Service for Verification
 

Is this suppose to be same as Verification of PayPal ?
If not, which step/procedure to verify paypal? Tracphone still? I read that GV is not accepted

Re: Best United States Phone Service for Verification
 

To verify Paypal?

Re: Best United States Phone Service for Verification
 

Doesn't tracfone expire in 3 months ?

I could be thinking of a different service.

Re: Best United States Phone Service for Verification
 

Tracfone expires in I think 90 days idk I just got one and went with the $9.99 a month plan

Re: Best United States Phone Service for Verification
 

It's been a while since I used tracfone and I still have those old phones pilled up.

I can reuse them and just buy a card each, can't I?

Re: Best United States Phone Service for Verification
 

I think so you can change the number 4 times too I haven’t changed mine yet might change it and make one more account here soon once I get another bank account

Re: Best United States Phone Service for Verification
 

I am not from US. But I need a real phone number to verify my ebay and pp. Could any one help me buy a tracephone and activate and receive code?
I will pay, of course

Re: Best United States Phone Service for Verification
 

Dingtone - looks cool! Looks like you can lock the number in for a year for $3.99. They give you 15 credits and you can get 200 credit for $3.99. Although you can watch some ads and get them for free.

This seems much cheaper than a tracphone. Have you had any issues with them?

Re: Best United States Phone Service for Verification
 

Hi, May I ask dingtone can receive ebay code for verification of seller account? And what cost of dingtone? Thanks

Re: Best United States Phone Service for Verification
 

Use Tracfone. Get double minutes. Then every 90 days buy 60 min card costs $19.99. You get 120 mins and your service is extended for another 3 months. Unused minutes roll over.

Re: Best United States Phone Service for Verification
 

Tracfone wont pass Paypal "quick security check" they will simply say its not in your name.. how do you get around that?

Re: Best United States Phone Service for Verification
 

I was afraid of this.

Seems like I can recall having issues using GV numbers with PP as well. They were able to detect it was a GV number, or forwarding service type number, at least that was the impression I got at the time. Please feel free to correct me if I am mistaken
