Looking for UK verification phone number? This is for you!
 

Well, I just used this myself, and it worked like an absolute char; for both eBay and Paypal.
The answer is UK VoIP Internet Phone Service - VoIP PBX Switchboard and Telephony services
You can choose your area code to match your address, to make yourself look genuine.
And, account signup is totally free. Each phone numebr is about £2.24 I think. All you need to do is sign up an account, buy one of the land line numbers, and download the free virtual phone software.
Start it up, get ebay/paypal to call, select the verification code on the virtual phone, and you're done.

By far the cheapest "disposable" or alternative landline numbers available for the UK, with instant setup.

Good stuff mantisinc, thanks!

absolutely fantastic post.. very nice thumbs up !!!!

Glad it was of help.

Voip Willnot Let Me Have A Number As I Am With Aol Any Other Sugestions

sorry l am having one of those thick moments ,have click onto your link to the phone site, what am l looking for ?

0845 numbers
 

can anyone tell me if 0845 numbers work with verifcation with ebay, and i have tried using a public phone box when they ring it , they ask for you to press a number 1-9 to continue and it didn't work

I don't think you can use a public phone for that. If yes, I really don't recommend it.

yes ive tried the public phone box aswell lol it obviously didnt work, what do you need to get the voipfone? do i need to get a handset/headset or anything? or will my speakers work?

No, public phone box numbers do NOT work, nor do 0845. It has to be an 01 number.

Donna, all you need to do is download the free virtual phone software they provide. Plug in some earphones or something, or if you want it to come through your speakers, that's fine.

Get ebay to ring, and press the green button to pick up, and the approrpriate number on the phone to verify the call.

It's all very easy.

thanks mantisinc i will have a go with my speakers, but what is the green button to pick up, is it on the screen or do i need to have a phone?
this site is so great, i just wish id found it sooner.

ive downloaded it and ive found the green button lol nearly there i just need my email to work to get my account details from voip talktalk must be having problems:mad:

:) well ive finally got my email working and got my details for the voipfone ive bought myself a telephone no. and hey im a registered seller again, i cant believe how easy that was i thought i was off ebay for a yr but im not getting too excited i will see how long my eb acc lasts thanks mantisinc your info has been a great help. :cool:

Nice one donna!

:confused: now voipfone have disabled my account for security reasons! god knows why, ive just phoned them and someone is going to phone me back in the am its a good job i used it already last night to register on eb :confused:

Wow...what were doing?! Did you provide real details?

yes it was my real details, it is back on now, i think it might of been because i tried to pay with a prepaid credit card and when it wouldnt work i tried again so then i used my normal card, i contacted customer services last night and they said someone would get back to me but theyve just sent me an email saying they dont know what happened but it is all ok now, so im back on voip,
do i have to cancel that no. to buy another one, or can i buy another one aswell?

Nope, NOW you can buy as many as you like, wasn't like that before though.

so is it a 1 off fee for each number or is it a monthly fee i didnt even read it all i just signed up.

I monthly fee for each number.

Hi its my first post. Hello:)
I been having problems with Voipfone, they keep getting back to me to sort the problem, so I'll bear with them till they do. I think my problem has been using entropay cards and the verification has not worked for some reason....also the fact I'm in Asia.

IF and when I eventually get my UK land line number, its for verifying a PayPal account, I've read on another thread that they are checking to see if the number is registered to the actual address through a 'database'


Anyone had problems with this??

Hi, yes I tried to confirm my address with phone number at work, but got the message that ater checking available databases the number did not match the address I had registered. So now they are sending a letter to the ⊗⊗⊗⊗ address.
