Google Voice

[usastrat]

So Google Voice is looking like a good candidate for a phone number and it's free. It's integrated with Sprint so apparently I can also have 2 numbers per account. So, for stealth...


It looks like it is doing the opposite of what I want. It takes one Google number and rings 5 other phones. I obviously want 5 different Google numbers to ring to my one cell phone. Does it do that?

Can I forward calls to the same phone that I used on my eBay account that was suspended? It is my personal cell phone. Can they somehow track it and link a stealth account to my suspended account?

In the end, is it easier to just use a cheap prepaid phone for each eBay account?

On the subject of my personal cell phone: if I rooted it and used it as a wifi hotspot, is there a way they could link me back to my suspended account?

I believe you cannot add more than 2 google voice numbers to one forwarding number.
No Ebay cannot 'see' the number it is being forwarded to.
Obviously using google voice is the cheaper option cause its free. However - using a combination of cheap pre paid phone and google voice number will give you more numbers to work with.
The last question has to do with the IP address. Using it as a hotspot should work fine but you never logged your IP before you got suspended (I assume) so theres always the risk (a minimal one) that youll get a previously used IP address and get linked that way.

OK. So Best Buy geek squad insurance basically will replace my phone no matter what as long as it is not lost. When I bought it I asked the guy if I could stand here and snap it in half right in front of him and get a replacement and he said yes. So, if an "accident" happened to my phone and I got it replaced would there be a way to link my accounts?

Also, for IP logging is the idea to record every IP you use and if you check your IP before you log in to eBay and see it is one that is banned to change it until it is not a linked IP?

If an accident happened to your phone, you would get new phone but still same number...

It would be to get new device info. You just have to ask them and they'll change the phone number.
