Instant Phone Number - for UK and USA

[bunnyme2]

just got back on after following all the advice. I just thought you may like to know that Skype offer a 3 month throw away telephone number, which was £10 in the UK. You can answer online - so when they give the pin just click the pick up on your PC and hear the pin number.... Lovely!

HI- Just be careful---EBAY owns Skype.... :(

[ivegotinfo]

yep so any info you gave skype might get you linked to ebay/paypal

[aspkin]

I'm 98% sure Skype is linked with eBay and Paypal. Skype is not an option for phone numbers.

I wonder how many people avoid skype because ebay owns it.

eBay spent $2.5 billion dollars on skype. News says ebay overpaid, but still ebay can keep people from having as many virtual phone number options.

I avoided Skype as an option just because ebay owns them. They own stumbleupon too which I didn't know ...

hi i to have had this problem in the past, if your in the uk, or even usa you can get a local number for £1.99 with voipfone, and you can then cancel that number and buy another, and keep on doing this for new accounts as needed,

[Rosanna]

Can you use your ⊗⊗⊗⊗ info to set up a skype account? Would that work?

[GreenBean]

:( I would be worried about doing that. ebay own that company so who knows what could happen.

[djb]

what about ifi wanted a us number directed to a uk number (landline/mobile)?? will voip give me a us number to use? or do i have to give it one in the first instance?

If you wanna use phone verification for Ebay -. Yahoo is good selection you should use.
I always use Yahoo Phone In Services. It's always successful for complete verifications.
But about PayPal. at this time, i don't know how to do that. But It saids that someone uses virtual credit card ( vcc ) or real credit card to add paypal and confirm location.
