Looking for a UK landline? I can help you out

[mantisinc]

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.)

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 ?

[mantisinc]

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.

[yeff]

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

[mantisinc]

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

[dollybaby]

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

[freakazoid789]

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

[dollybaby]

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

Does this still work?

[oompaloompa]

No, has to be landline on UK ebay

[paypalpains]

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?

[oompaloompa]

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
