I just noticed some strange activities with gmail today

I just got T-mobile broad band and when i tried to open an gmail account they want the phone number,without a real phone number i could not open a gmail account...After i put the phone number i got an automatic call from google and i got a pin,after that the gmail account was open

With Cricket broad band don't need the phone to open a gmail account


I ques google does not like T-mobile IPs :)))))))))

To my understanding needing a phone number in order to sign up for a new gmail account is universal now? Can anyone confirm or deny this with any sort of certainty?

I only got the phone verification request when I didn't clear out the old google cookies before attempting to make a new account.

I still don't understand. I used VPN open gmail and google voice. I can do a lot of google voice. When ebay want call me for verify. I use send me "SMS" option then eBay will send the PIN to google vloice. I put PIN for verify. Yes, I can verify but after that eBay suspend me case abuse eBay. How come!! What did I wrong?

Thanks,

We're sorry but you did not pass Confirm Location by Phone for the following reason:

Using publicly available databases, we were unable to match your address to the phone number you selected.

Selected Phone Number: (253) ***-****

Please help

How we get phone verified?

Look up a call forwarding service on the net for you makavi in India.

google voice dosmt always work for some reason, and ebay dosnt always recongnize the keypad i have noticed. best not tomuse google voive i think.
tracfone is est then text now or text free.

There is also a website called voxox. They provide basically the same thing as google voice. It does however require a download of their desktop software in order to change the settings and get rid of their annoying voice greeting.

If you use it its limited to California numbers. It is however a great way to get more google voice numbers if you can no longer use your personal phones. I sign up for voxox then GV then vice versa and so on...

Thanks rsot.I found now and worked well.

Hey, I can't verify Paypal with google voice for some reasons. I tried to text and call my google voice from another phone and it works ok. But, when paypal sends me a confirmation number, I never get it. I have the sam problem with sendhub and TollFreeForwarding.com.

Am I doing something wrong?

Paypal mobile uses a short message text system that only works with the major carriers.

Only paypal.com?

So what is the official verdict now, about GV? Is it only not working if you select "Mobile" but works for Home/Work? I'm reading conflicting stories. Landline should still work if tied to GV though.

What did you find - maybe teach us something new and useful :)
