Phone question
 

I don't post much at all. I tend to read and answer my own questions. I haven't been able to find an answer to this though.

For stealth accounts, why do you have several phones sitting around waiting for them to ring? Why not just set up a Google Voice account, do all the normal verifying the number and then if PayPal, eBay, or Amazon calls let it go to voice mail and you would get an email notifying you of their call. Then you know what stealth name that you used and you would be prepared when you did call them back using Google Voice.

I have several stealth accounts set up but I haven't received any phone calls other than the verification ones when you set the account up. I can't really see setting up 10 stealth accounts and having 10 separate phones sitting on the desk with little sticky notes so that you know what name to use when they call.

One of Ebays Verification Methods is Calling to talk to you, They want YOU to Actually Pick up the phone when it rings and Awnser a few Questions, Paypal also does something Similar, Only it is Automated, Either one of them Calling you and Leaving a Message so You can call Back is NOT an Option
