Looking for a UK landline? I can help you out
 

Okay, some people seem to be having issues with the landline setup from voipfone. I have an account with them that has now had the max phone number registrations unlimited by request.

So anyone after a phone number, send me a PM and I can purchase it on my account, then you can ring it through and I'l send you the verification code.

Numbers are £2.50 per month. You can cancel them after the first payment if you wish. Payment is by card, so I will need to know the details of the card you want to pay with, which includes the name and address attached to the card. If you feel safer, prepaid cards can be used.

I've already helped two members out on the forum and bought them numbers, so thought I would offer my services publically!

Also, anyone outside of the UK will not be able to sign up, as registration is only open to UK IP addresses (I believe.)

Mantis, that is good of you to help like that.With this beast ebay sometimes a person needs help. I kind thought you were a preying Mantis rather than a pitbull. lol.

Just shoot me over a PM when ya need some help.
LOL, I'm actually a praying bull :p

Mantis:
member, Tim89 needs some help with uk phones, if you wouldnt mind shooting him a pm..
Thanks :))

Yea, was talking to him on MSN earlier =)

cheeky git charging people for a TOTALLY FREE service!!!


sipgate.com

mattcafc, That is not the exact case here. Mantis helped someone out. There is
another post that explains what happened.

Would you be interested to tell us about sipgate - The Leading Voice over IP Provider in Europe Has it worked for verification with paypal/ebay ?

Matt, it seems sipgate has a VERY limited amount of numbers available for different areas, whereas voipfone has a huge amount.

Please don't call me a cheeky git unless you know what you are talking about. I'd rather stick with paying £2.50 for a service I know is reliable, from a company with outstanding customer service, and would only urge anyone else to do the same.

Hi, I used a voipfone number on my new paypal account, but when the phoned to verify it, I entered the 4 digit code in keypad on x-lite, but it kept saying unable to recognise it. So now they are sending letter to the made up address, could I phone them up with an internet phone from the number on my voipphone account and say that I have not received the letter, but as I am phoning from the number on my account will that do for verifying?
The account has been verified so would like to keep it if I can.

Hi, I have given up on that Paypal account and opened another one.
I now have gone through all the verification points and now am back at the last one which is verifying your address with them phoning, I have a new voipfne number for this account so would like to know best way of answering the call as last time it did not work with X-Lite?
Could someone help with this please as dont want to lose this account straight away.

Thanks

There is only one way of answering the call, and one way of entering the number. And that's exactly the way you are doing it. So I don't know where you are going wrong...

why not use prepaid mobile phone numbers ? i've successfully verified my phone number on ebay uk with that... PM me if you want to know a little trick ;)

I thought ebay didnt allow mobile phone numbers, or am I wrong.

just wondering how to get past this..

after the call, i answered it
but then i cant hear any voice

it works fine when i call using my mobile

freakazoid what type of phone is it, is it voipfone.

Does this still work?

No, has to be landline on UK ebay

And what about PayPal?

Anyone have any working numbers for them, for multiple accounts? Am already using home landline for one account.

What are the working alternatives as of 23/12/09?

paypal, location verification is hard, it has to be an exact number to match their database of location, so call/email a few voip places to see if they can match you up, try and have an accessible address in case it fails, as you will get a letter code instead

i would like one
 

i am new to this do i leave my phone number ? x

see my reply to yout other post nohome

can u help me

hey is this still being offered?

nothings being offered - we are just discussing phone verification!!

Can you let me know how many numbers they let you register with voipfone?

Is the number capped at 10, 20 etc?

Can you get this released?

If they do cap the amount of numbers you can purchase can you then re-register?

This is what is being offered? Sorry if i have miss read it? ha

yo

I looking for Malaysia phone num as I am from Malaysia

Does voip phone/sipgate still work?

Been having problems lately when coming to the phone verification process. Im entering the correct code that paypal specifies on the site but it reply with "incorrect code entered". I already lost 1 account because of this & can't risk another

Im not sure if it sipgate works madsam i use a different service myself

you are gettiing the call and hearing the code then? then there is nothing wrong with phone number, you will have to contact paypal about it

No im on about the paypal verification part. The code appears in paypal, then you have too type the code in the phone for paypal to verify it,, as you already know. But when i type the code into the phone, i get the message "incorrect code, goodbye" aww this is the first time this has happened too me i've had zero problems till now.

with voip? youve got it configured wrong to your landline phone, its maybe not hearing the tones...

hi i need to activate my account just need a landline number can you help me plz

I hear what your saying but my voip software is configuration is spot on its never caused any problems with past account verification, im starting to think now that paypal has caught on this. It worked on for my ebay account. strange.

What voip software do you use oompaloompa? Pm me if you don't want too post here.

no I agree, reports have been on forum for months and months that voip sometimes fails for paypal (not eb), usually though the problem isnt exactly as youve described it eg. getting code but it not being able to input, however I think your theory that voip is the issue highly possible. Me? Ive use virtual lines in the past, never voip, I heeded warnings
from past forumers, virtual numbers are more expensive, tie you in longer but the benefit is they sit on your existing landline, and there are no redirection issues. I have had a failure even with virtual number once though, fortunately letter went to accessible address , the reason was non-matching of their database. We get alot of these on forum, and so thats not just a voip issue necessarily...
