Use several t-mobile prepaid SIM cards with one phone?

[greenjellies]

In order to activate several accounts, is it possible to activate a whole bunch of t-mobile prepaid sim cards (pay as you go plan) on one cell phone and then switch out the sim cards whenever i need a particular phone number that paypal/ebay needs to call?

You could do that but not really recommended. Only reason why is that PayPal likes to randomly give you a call and if you don't answer they will limit you so you will have to give them a call. Either way you could give it a try. Like everyone else says here nothing is done 100%. Whats good for the goose isn't always good for the gander.

Yeah there is no reason that wouldn't work. I have 5 different AT&T numbers and just swap the SIM cards in my phone when I want to use that line

^^^Sounds kinda like a good idea but there can be problems. You would need to think and prepare carefully if you pick this method. You have to be certain of your entire account creation.

Paypal may call at any random time: no answer they might limit the account. Say they decide to send mail have you access to your address?

It has been noted that some users have created their own problems by mixing the stealth account info Makes phones calls tricky then. Users here have reported making errors with the sim cards....
just a few possible glitches & that might mean limitations

ONE prepaid phone PER account. You want to make big and easy money like the drug dealers then you got to roll like one

I ALWAYS carry all my 5 phones(Tracfone) with me at ALL times. WHEREVER I go.
No need for swaping sim cards.

1 phone for each account is the key.

Time is money and this is a fast and easy money making business you gotta appreciate and take it serious.

hello every body ,
I am new to all this, i am starting from scratch,, i have read a bit and i would like to open a stealth account (paypal + ebay).i have only one current account and want to sell on ebay i want to use vcc + pay as u go phone and would like some advise to avoid mistakes that might cause suspension
1) is there a way to buy vcc without a credit card, i only have one current account]]?
2) should i get a 2nd vcc from the 1 st one as an extra safety to use it to verify with paypal
3)can i open few accounts with (paypal+ebay) this way and do business having only one current account(same card number+same address+same name)! without being linked
i would like to go slowly until i get evey thing right
thanks a lot in advance

I have stickers on my phones to match the account name.
Looks silly but if they call I will know who the heck I am at the moment.

I use MagicJack, Buy one for $40.00 good for 1 year, and $20.00 every year after that. once I set it up I activate Call Fowarding to My cell Phone and unplug the magic jack from my computer and all calls made to that number get fowarded to my cell wether my computer is on or off. If I need to make a call or fax from that number plug that Magicjack back in the computer and call or fax. If the Ebay account gets "Toasted" go to Magicjack and change the number (free) Done! It is Cheap, you only need to carry your Cell Phone and reusable. You could have 50 magic jack numbers all going to 1 cell Number at one time if you want==NO PROBLEM

Doesn't magic jack have issues with the tone? In other words, "press 1 if you're expecting this call"? I tried it once, and I couldn't get ebay to recognize the tone.

Never had a problem like that, Been using it a Long time Now and have made numerous calls to Ebay

Were you using the Softphone software or did you have an actual phone plugged into the MagicJack? I did have that happen to me only when I used the Softphone.

I never plug a Phone in. I Just plug in the Magicjack when I buy it, Set it up on their site, When I am done Unplug the Magic jack Write some info on it ( Ebay Id, Number ect, ect,) and toss it in a drawer with the others, thats it.

How can they limit you if they call randomly... people work, go to school etc. Now if you are already having issues w pp or ebay Id say stick that sim card in and carry it... One blackberry unlocked and several simcards is cool..however i agree u gotta keep up w each sim card number n thats tricky..Official genius, do they just call you random? damn..

[First Edition]

Lets say... you have 10 cell phones you list every week. This is probably someone with a full time business selling phones.... answering a call shouldn't be a big deal. Answering the phone doesn't guarantee you won't get limited, but not answering will 99% guarantee a limitation.

isn't it just 1 number per magic jack? if you were to get 5 0 numbers, don't you need 50 magicjacks?

one thing for people that get calls from ebay/paypal and you don't have your information ready, whenever they call, just tell them so and so is not available and to leave a message...i would think that satisfy ebay/paypal.

This is true, you can only use Magic Jack for only 1 number ar a time, but you can change that number 1 time for free, after that you have to pay for EACH Number change. It is still A LOT cheaper, and more relaiable than ANYTHING I have seen Out there.

As for the call Ebay/Paypal Must talk to you from YOUR Registered Phone Number, and they Will Not Phone verify you unless THEY CALL YOU, If they cannot reach you they Will Limit Your account, It happened to Me. When you give them the ol " Not Alailable" they will send you an E-Mail asking when you will 'Be Available" so they can call back, and if you are "Not Available" again they will limit your account.
