Using Pinger for phone

[nakamuru]

I have android smartphone and i used to use pinger to get free text and phone... it gives out local phone number and for 2.00 you get like 100 minutes for free or free minutes by doing like installing apps etc..

has anyone used this app for phone verification or used it for signing up without any issues?

Also i have been told you need a landline phone now to sign up or get verified?

I would love to use my vonage to get phone to redirect to my regular phone but seems i have wifi issues at the moment

The app numbers are getting overused, and now when you use them your using a phone number that may of been from a recently suspended account and than they link and close you down right away

They used to be good now they are way over used and will create problems

Just go get a TracFone, Apps are no longer a valid method.

Landline - while a good option - would limit to only use for one account...and is pricier than tracfone

Also if you are using it to just verify Ebay you can always change the number after set up. Done that a few times too

Ok so pinger is out the door... so I guess I get track one at target or walmart?

If my account gets suspended from stealth I'm guessing I can't use track one again... or am I able to keep phone and then just get new number? would kind of suck to try opening many accounts and pile of tracfones... let alone the cost... I'm hoping it's under 15 dollars for one of these

You can get a new number..

Can I change my phone number?

In order to change your phone number, you will need to contact our Customer Care Center at 1-800-867-7183 and a representative will assist you with the process.

I believe they charge to do this however.

I have a feeling these new 0/0 limit accounts are because of phone numbers from the different apps like pinger, Textplus , etc..

They immediately trigger an ID check

Yes, exactly right.. http://www.aspkin.com/forums/subscri...nstop-now.html

Has anyone tried flynumber? or other online paid services?

Online phone services have IPs attached to them which can be traced a lot easier than a real cell phone.

I never use these app based phones since day one since I know it'll come to this eventually, plus I need a reliable phone service.

I think that the $10 for a prepaid phone is worth the peace of mind.

Tracfones are hard to change phone numbers. For some reason you need a new sim card it's really not worth the hassle.

I attached a Tracfone recently. It's a prepaid phone. But it says that the phone isn't registered under my name?

You attached it after they asked for it correct??

You did not use it when you created the account ?

I'm sure that is what you did here, whatever number you add when u make the account you need to have access to that number all the time

[yaar_dost02]

yes attached it afterwards. Not when the account was created

Are you trying to confirm you bank account by phone?

What did you use for creating the account then?

Sometimes things pass the first check and are noticed with the second .

I just think too many used the apps and the numbers have been circulating round and round and are eventually starting to come up as banned from someone less account
