| | | LoopHole | 11-18-2011 06:36 PM | Which fowarding system would you recommend? Tonight is the night were i make a bazillion stealth accounts. Which means I need a good forwarding system that's reliable and cheap. It would be great if the price for adding extra numbers would also be reasonable. Anyone who is using this system mind sharing what provider they use?
It would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. |
| Gman91189 | 11-18-2011 08:18 PM | yea i've been looking for some also.. but here is the thing.. most charge a monthly fee for their service.. and with that .. comes limited lines and to add extra lines means you guessed extra money.. so for like 30 accounts you would be spending about at 40-50 a month... my best thought would be get trac fones.. label and get organized.. however if something comes cheaper and have a phone forwarding servie so i could avoid having 31854172 tracfones... it would be reaally really helpful too :) |

That's like $1.70 per account. What forwarding system offers this price? This sounds cheap to me lol |
| jbluntz | 11-19-2011 12:12 AM | 50 bucks a month for 1 account doesn't sound bad even. |

| jbluntz | 11-19-2011 12:51 AM | I pay over $300 a month for blackberry, iphone and 10 VM phones and that's hardly anything are you making minimum wage or something? |
| FandangoKango | 11-19-2011 02:25 AM | Man I wish I could find a service for 30 numbers for like 50 bucks a month. I pay 25 bucks per every 5 numbers and this is with vumber. |

If i made as much as you did that $300 bucks would be nothing. $300 is to you is probably like $600 to me. And i am not ready to spend $600 a month on phones lol |

Have you found anything cheaper recently? Im guessing all these forwarding system companies all probably charge the same |
| Gman91189 | 11-19-2011 07:21 PM | yea just about the same thing.. have you guys heard of
Uslandlines.com?
i was using it for a while.. but i dont know if the numbers go back in a pool afterwards.. |

No meaning to be rude but you need to limit your accounts with a phone then.
Many here take the risk of having smaller accounts with no phones. Maybe that is something you need to look into. Just do not do it with mature accounts with higher dollars in it.
I still think at VM has a good deal. Maybe just cover your best account with it.
You can get several numbers from one phone. |
| Gman91189 | 11-19-2011 08:14 PM | depends... making 2/3k per month is not a whole lot, but to ebay probably is..meaning if you want to make 10k/mnth which is not alllll that much.. you need a whole bunch of phones... and need to be upgrading the time on them...
was really good when you could just change the number for free with vigin mobile.. that way.. if one account goes down, you could just switch numbers and get a top off card for a year and be good.. but now.. i dont even know.. because if you need to change numbers when an account goes down it sucks..
can you top off a virgin mobile(one year) and still be changing numbers as needed? |

Overages:

$0.04 Add'l Minutes*
So does that mean i get 7 new virtual numbers every month? |

You can get several numbers from one phone. | I prefer to be safe than sorry. Taking a risk with a small account is not an option for me. Even if the account is 60 days old with 10 feedback i'd rather pay for a forwarding service and have this account not get suspended when eb*y/pp calls.
I don't see how virgin mobile can be a better deal than a forwarding service for a big amount of accounts. Care to explain? |
| UnderBites08 | 11-20-2011 02:51 AM | I like VM for my phone service. It takes money to make money. Esp now with the 21 day holds and what not for new stealth users. I guess thats why they say scared money dont make money! |
| Gman91189 | 11-20-2011 02:59 AM | VM?
Yea but u gotta be smart with ur money
What about TossableDigits vs VM? I'm guessing that's vumber?
Keep in mind its for high amount of accounts...20+ |
| Gman91189 | 11-20-2011 03:02 AM | Mind posting prices for vm? |
| unkown5454 | 11-20-2011 03:40 AM | |
| Gman91189 | 11-20-2011 11:30 AM | My bad.
so if comparing VM, vumber, and tossible digits which would u choose for high amounts of accounts |
| LoopHole | 11-20-2011 01:47 PM | |
| Gman91189 | 11-20-2011 01:54 PM | good to know.. in any case.. i mean if you need to call pp/ebay just have a little tracfone in handy..
plus dont really need to be calling paypal/ebay like that...the less calls you make to them.. the better ur off.. |

Sometimes its is not the money amount. If it is reasonable and easy to use I usually go with that.
We all have to watch the cost and VM is easy to use, easy to change the number etc so I go with that.
Again, I dont change numbers often so your needs would be different then mine. |

So here is your cost for 1 account per year with VM?
Phone $10+top up card $10 which lasts 3 months. So to have this phone number available and working for a year just incase they decide to call the cost would be $80?
Correct me if im wrong. |
| Gman91189 | 11-21-2011 01:30 AM | Dam Man, is there any freaking Forwarding service that WORKS with paypal/ebay that are at least in the same price range as VM?? |
| jbluntz | 11-21-2011 01:43 AM | I didn't realize you guys were still trying to figure this stuff out, just a quick google search is all it takes. Just pick a prepaid phone you like and google a fowarding service that fits your needs, it's not that complicated. |
| Gman91189 | 11-21-2011 01:49 AM | yea i know its not.. just would PREFER a forwarding service.. takes the headache out of having to carry around 20 phones in case paypal/ebay calls when im out and about.. not to mention keeping them all charged etc.. its a pain, i've done this before its a lot of pain!
Not to mention.. even if im right there i hear the phone goin off.. .by the time i even find the phone.. i miss the call...
Seems alot more stress free just having a forwarding service... but at the same time its not worth paying 20/mnth for 1 freaking number.. if it would aleast add up to the same as VM i woudlnt mind.
VM was good before it got the 10$ charge to change numbers (which HAPPEND when i bought 5 phones :mad2:)
dont seem to be a good week for me lol |
| jbluntz | 11-21-2011 01:53 AM | How are you supposed to know which account ebay/paypal is calling about if you have all the numbers fowarded to 1 phone? |
| Gman91189 | 11-21-2011 01:55 AM | Simple.. i've done it before with support.uslandlines.com, Before their site just went down out the blue (dont know why)
When paypal calls.. they simply say, "hello, may i speak to John Doe"
i say : Yes, this is him speaking...
and i simply just pull up all the info on my tablet or pc for that person... |
| Gman91189 | 11-21-2011 01:56 AM | its alot more efficient to have a solid forwarding service then trying to keep up with 20 phones... Jbluntz, you should know what i mean... heck im sure you have at least a good 20 running accounts at a time.. |
| Gman91189 | 11-21-2011 01:56 AM | with a forwarding service.. all you need is 1 phone vs 18572813641 phones..:doh: |
| jbluntz | 11-21-2011 02:06 AM | I never keep any active numbers on any of my accounts and it's never been a problem, only attach an active number sometimes temporarely like when making a big withdrawel from paypal but still prefer to have 10 prepaid since you can put the info on the back of the phone for when you go out and many other things and still use them with fowarding services as well, which is what I've always done anyway. |

Have you seen the at&t pre paid phones? They cost $10 plus the top up card is also $10. Not sure if you can change numbers on them or how long the cards last. Know anything about it? |
You can know for whom pp is calling if you use a call forwarding service that displays the call forward number on your cell phone (not pp's number). |

| cmbhuy | 11-21-2011 02:24 PM | ebay fees are 10% paypal fees are what 3%? for a new account, you can sell 10 items / $1000. if you sell 1000 dollars that roughly 130$ in fees and you afford to keep an active number? and thats just a newer account. What happens when they raise your limits to 100/5000 or more? |
