eBay Suspended & PayPal Limited Forums - Virgin Mobile $10 Number Change...

Do a cost analysis of how many times you would need to change the number etc.

For me, if I had to change a number 10 bucks wont break me.

I like the simple stuff and being organized knowing that if I need a phone I have it covered. So I can concentrate on the products, listing etc side of things.

yea thats good and all but if want to have 20-30 accounts.. thats 20-30 phones.. sucks if you out and about and paypal/ebay calls... you miss it.. BAM limitation..
even worst... you're home and one of the 30 phones ring.. it'll be a hassle to try and find which phone is ringing...:doh:

Can anyone give me a heads up on how to change the number on these phones before i go get one? And do they require you to pay with CC to change the number or can you add a gift card?

You pay by loading money on your account.

That counts as the Paylo $10 card right?

Yes, exactly :).

Buy the cards in cash at convenient stores, Wal-Mart, etc and then just add them to your account to keep changing numbers when need be.

If you cannot afford 10.00 to change your number then you have a lousy business model.

I have not had to change any of my numbers yet and dont see the need to.

If you are changing numbers a lot then you are doing something mighty wrong or you are changing numbers to verify accounts and should be able to afford 10 bucks on a good potential account.

Your statements are mostly true when looking at this from your perspective. A lot of people make accounts in bulk to sell or store for long term use. An ebay and paypal account together are worth around $50 so $10 to change the number to a new one for the next account is taking a big cut of your profits...

I want a company that doesn't eliminate your minutes after 90 days. This can be very costly every 90 days if you have 10+ stealth accounts. :eek:

$10 every 90 days is not at all very costly, that's $100 for 10 every 90 comes to about $33 a month, even working a part time minimum wage job that would be easily affordable.

You guys are so lucky buying mobile phone for 10$. Here in Canada I just purchased 2 virgin mobile phones for 38$ before tax. And the minimum amount to top up here is 15$
