Mobile Phone Verify Question
 

Im about to register with ebay (UK), they want a phone number, If I put in my mobile phone number, I see that there is a space for an area code?? can I confirm that I can use my mobile number and what do I use for the area code if you dont need an area code to call a mobile phone.

Thanks again

You can't - it needs to be a landline and the mobile is like a secondary.

It's the landline number which verifies the code they send you.

Get "Soho66" with 2 pounds for a number can't go wrong! it diverts your calls to your home phone and works perfect.

Phonesboxes have been known to work aswell however if you want something steady just go to Soho66.

using Soho66, can their number divert to my mobile number? If not and I have to divert it to my landline number, is it 100% for certain ebay cant see my landline number

You can forward the number you purchase to a landline or mobile number.

Soho66 i think personally is the cheapest and best geographically according to the phone numbers they offer.

I have over 10 numbers myself all work fine and have been for a long time now - aswell as others who have used the service before me and can confirm it's solid!! never had any issues with them.

okay, now I can progress, thank you

Good info from Thankful

by the way, when I sign up to Soho66, is it ok to use my real contact name,email add, details and so forth, sorry for being so paranoid.

Thanks rsot :redface:

Yeah your real details on the soho66 site is safe and secure. :pop2:

I have signed up, I have my number, just a quick question, how do I setup the redirect to my mobile, im on my Soho control panel.

From my Soho control panel > your numbers > click the number they gave you > call routing > routing wizard > *tick* "Send the call to one or more internal/external destinations" > On External telephone numbers to ring > write out your mobile and next and finish - your good to go from there!

Thanks again, soho66 works good

Good to hear :thumb:

so this service will find a free number including ur area code?? so u will have ur own unique number including ur area code no matter where u are??

It's a great service, been using it for ages now, it will give you a choice of numbers for you area (with the area code).

For example London - it offers 2 area codes 0203 and 0207 - then you can pick a full number from the list.

Other cities may have just have 1 area code and so on...

I would like to purchase 10 numbers for the same phone, for 10 stealth accounts. Should I sign up for "Multiple user VoIP", "Business VoIP for up to 10"? If I do that, I can get a block of 10 numbers for £17. Is this the correct way to get what I want?

Business VoIP services > Multiple user VoIP > Business VoIP for up to 10 is correct - but then you may need £5 credit on the account aswell.

I've had £5 credit on the account for 4 months+ and it's only on £4.50 now, they charge credit for chargable calls - still well worth it.

but i dont live in a city....will it have an area code for my town?? other virtual phone sites do not use my area code :heh:

Whats your area code? i'll have a look.

It's Weston superego mate uk. Area code is 01934.

hey thankful i have just bought a number from soho66...i'm at the part where i use the wizored set up. I tick the box...Send the call to one or more internal/external destinations!! Then do i tick in the next box...Internal VoIP phones to ring or not tick the box?? I know then i need to put my mobile number in next box. just stuck at that part. could u help please

Good stuff so far, leave the Internal VoIP unticked.

do i have to have multiple bank accounts to open multple stealth accounts?? I know somebody who lives by me & he sells on ebay without being verified i think

The person you mention will have a limited amount in which he can recieve.

Being Verfied determine how much money you can send and withdraw from your account.

Yes it makes sense to have different bank accounts for different stealth accounts.

ok that answers my questions thanks. I have just got somebody to call my new extension number & it goes straight to a an answering message saying i am not available. which box do i tick at step 1...Where would you like to route your number to in the 1st step??

You do need some credit on the account, put £5 on it should last you for 6months+ easy.

ok but which box do i tick?? step 1,2,3 itsa all a little confusing to be honest. this is last step & if i top up then it will be live??

done....thanks for all your help thankful

no problem :thumb:
