Vumber: eBay Phone Verification Now No Good 4/23/2009
 

I recently used a service called Vumber to verify my ebay account by phone.

Vumber gives you a disposable number that forwards to your phone (Virtual Phone Number). Works alot like Tossibledigits (which doesn't work w/ eBay anymore).

The service has a 30 Day Trial and $4.99 after that + $1.99 for extra numbers. So its free for 30 Days. I live in a normal size area and they had my area code. Also you can call out from your disposable number. I haven't tried it to call EB or PP but I called a couple friends and they said my disposable number was on the caller ID. You just have to create a PIN after you signup, call your number, enter your pin, then enter the number you want to call. Also has many other features.

I went to list on a 5 month old account and eBay said I have to verify my identity by phone. I changed my number in my account and had them call me. They called and asked me to hit 4 if im expecting a call, I did, then they gave me a 4 digit code (repeated 3 times) then I entered it into eBay and it went thru!

Worked Like A Charm!

If you Vant a disposable try Vumber (Modee talk)

Also they have a referral program so if anyone wants to be kind enough to send me their email address before you sign up, I will refer you and I will get credit. Thanks in advance.

Did it work with Paypal as well? And did you use ⊗⊗⊗⊗ info or real info to register? thanks

Didn't need to try it w/ Paypal yet but im sure it will, as far as info I guess it doesn't matter but I used real info, I use real for anything thats not EB or PP..

nice post! thanks for the info

Yep, and to add...I added a new number (Vumber) for $1.99 and verified another eBay account for listing privileges...

Can't you just delete your old number without paying the additional $1.99?

Yeah probably but I needed to keep the 1st number

thanks guys, it worked. I got no sleep last night trying to get that thing to work. Thanks for everything fellas

how long did you have to wait for your vumber number to get activated. I call the vumber they assigned me and a message from a guys voice says" The number is unallocated." What does this mean

Mine was activated within minutes...did they call your real number to verify with a pin?

is the pin the one from the vumber settings to access outgoing calls? If yes, I can't even get to that point as when i call my vumber number, it says the number is unallocated. Can you try and calll your vumber and see if your forwarded phone rings? Let me know as if yours rings then i will have to contact customer support in the morning? thanks

screwed, did vumber take your phone number to verify for using them? Are you sure the account is activated?

Good Post Lizard---EXCELLENT! :)
Once some more members verify it works for them--you should pm Aspkin, so he can include this as an alternate number in his next Update.. :)

>>THESE kind of Informative posts--are the Reason I will be around here for a long time-- This is kinda like a 12 step program, dealing with ebay/paypal--
We're always LEARNING something.. :)

It def works, but lets keep tis on the low. Lets face it here everyone, the more people know about this, the more money we lose to competition on ebay


THANKS A MILLION FOR THE HEADS UP

Its not working for me.

I tried calling the Vumber with a diffrent phone and it works but when i tell ebay to call nothing happens.

screwedagain-make sure that Vumber has verified the phone you are forwarding to, if your having problems pm me

daoud-so it doesn't ring at all when ebay calls??, I haven't run into that, everytime I tell ebay to call it rings about 10 seconds later...only thing I can think of is to make sure the number is entered correctly in ebay...

No numbers availible in my area....
 

Hi guys, I tried to sign up for vumber and they don't have any numbers for my area, what is the best voip to have forwarded to a cell phone to verify a sellers account? pm me if you don't want it open, I appreciate it.

same they do not have the area code, can we sign up with diff. area code.
Thanks

I have read on here before that if the area code is within 100 miles of the zip code it should work, I tried one about 75 miles away a few months ago and it worked. Otherwise you can make a new ebay account based on the zip code you used in Vumber...

As stated above in my second post I used this for ebay but hadn't had to use it for Paypal yet...

so today I had to use it to verify a Limited Account and they said the address didn't match (eventhough the area code and zip are in the same city) luckily I can get to the address I used to get the piece of mail they are sending...so it looks like it works for ebay listing but not Paypal verification

now you are saying that the number must match the address, how would they know that the phone belong to that particular address.

In paypal the number must match the address. Ebay you can get away with using freetollforwarding etc
