just like to say, you need to be able to physically press '6' to listen to the automated message

so you cant just record the voicemail

Can't you make the voicemail recording of pressing each number with a small pause in between?

Safercalls
 

I must have posted my reply in the wrong category before, sorry about that. I was just trying to tell everyone my best experience so far is with a company called Safercalls.com, I'm from Milwaukee so I needed a temporary number from here. They were able to give me one that I could just login to my account safercalls and then set the options like what numbers I want blocked, what prefix I want to show on my phone when a call is coming in so I know it's from my Safercalls number.

THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE is that I can make my Safercalls number my callerID when calling paypal, so then it automatically pulls up my account because it is showing that I'm calling in (using my temporary phone number). Paypal is not the only company that checks your number when calling in, but I know my credit card company does, and many other subscription based services I have do too.

Another note: I emailed them asking if they phone numbers in Illinois where my sister lives, and they said they can get them all over the U.S. even though they only advertise California and WI right now....check them out

seriously try safercalls, I had the same issue
 

I would suggest the safercalls.com i was talking about, because I had the issue you did.

safercalls.com is 19.95 per month. A prepaid cell phone is cheaper if you don't use it much.

Phone Number Alternatives.
 

Has anyone experience with jconnect? (www.j2.com). There is a free service
that allows voicemail messages. Or is an area code meant to match a zip code?
(yeah, not in the US of A....only my spirit)

Toll Free and Local City Phone Numbers - Worldwide - 10$ a month
Disposable, Temporary Phone Numbers | Private, Anonymous Telephone Services - 10$ a month

both have been verified and work.

Modee, I think each custom voice message is linked to the phone number that you add to receive calls, when you chance the number your message will be deleted automatically.

Unless something has changed, I used trac fone and it did not work as of 2-08
I then switched the trac fone number and set up grand central and that did not work.
I still havent found a way to get PP verified phone call.

i got somewhat verified by paypal with grand central. the did verify my phone number, but since it did not match the area code that my confirmed assress was in they sent me a letter with a pin number within it. i would have to enter the pin number into my paypal account to get it reinstated. i told them the address was an old po box that i no longer have and i guess they waived the letter verification because i got my account back without having to do the pin verification.

Is it FREE servic for Grand Central? and I was wondering if it is ok for paypal verification to use my cell phone which i registered on Grand central and this number is on the blacklist on paypal or I have to put only landline on Grand Central when i register since i've known that paypal only verify with landline?? I'm abit confused...Please confirm if i only have to enter landline number for Grand central so i'll get another number then...Thank you!

grand central is free, and i used my cell phone through GC. liek i said it kind of worked for paypal. i still had to do the address verification because i used a cell phone.

With Tollfreeforwarding can you get multiple numbers for the $10 a month or is it $10 a month per number? I'm confused. I read the site but its still confusing me.

The way I read it is that it is $10.00 per number. Look at FAQ New Accounts
and there is an explanation.

I just have an alt line on my cell. It's pay as you go so if I don't use it I won't be charged. You can always change #s if you get suspended.

Look u can change ur number no problem.. The thing is when people change their number and address then list 100 Ipods...Get it

Your right Chris, i hope people are learning, you cannot go full blast on new accounts and expect them to last now. You gotta work them in slowly, lowball bid on stuff you dont want to win, watch some stuff, etc. look as though you really are interested in not abusing....lol

Mmm, can I use my sister's cell number?
we share the same address though

A question about GrandCentral:
Must I sign up with the same name/address as my eBay account? In another words, will eBay see my info?

the toll free forwarding.com doesnt work, well it works it gives you a new number that directs calls to your own number but when ebay rings you the machine asks you if you are expecting the call if so to press i.e 1 and when you press 1 it doesnt register so it doesnt give you the verification code, i even tried it on the phone box over the rd and that does the same. im going to try the other one.

I have hundreds of cell phones I bought for a buck or two a box and I know most people have several working cell phones that take a sim card just lying in a junk drawer when their service renewed and came with a new phone can anyone tell me if buying sim cards for them would work I know at one time you could buy sim cards on ebay charged with so many minutes cheep and a number does it matter where the number is from? Can you have a TX address and a GA phone number? and someone said Land line how does ebay know if it is a land line or not?

How did the grandcentral kinda work with paypal? I want to make sure that i have a number that will work for sure....

id like to know a virtual phone service that works for aussies as well ???

cheers
