Paypal verification? Numbers that work?

[astralman]

Anybody willing to post what companies work? I have tried many that dont work. Im trying to buy something for a couple of days now and everytime I buy something I have to verify the number. Help please?

I buy a cheap $10.00 track phone. It comes with 10 free minutes. I set it up using a different phone (so not to burn the 10 minutes included) I then open up G mail accounts and get Google voice with it. I can usually successfully get 3-5 Google numbers forwarded to the track phone before Google stops allowing me to use that forwarding number. Track phone will allow 4 number changes per year. After that they just require you buy new minutes, or just get a new phone. So for $10.00 you can get at least 8-9 free Google numbers, Buy a new $10.00 phone ( sell the old one on eBay) or buy new minutes and get more numbers. Works great!!

I already tried vumber and it says that it cant verify the home or mobile number.

I searched flynumber and people say it does not work. I tried google voice by getting a google voice and getting the text message from paypal or a phone call and no luck either.

I even put down a t-mobile prepaid phone number I pay monthly regularly and no luck either. Any other choices?

Hi, I've tried them all, & for buying, paypal wants (really, requires) a landline.

Not true at all - people here have worked ok with GV

You have to be doing something wrong.

Each & every option has failed? Gimme me a break

Did you TRY flynumber yourself or take the word of strangers?

When you tried gv & it failed did you post here of your lack of success?

Did you spend any money on any of these

I personally tried pre-paid cell, a brand-new subscribed cell, Flynumber, and others, and while those are still active on my ebay & paypal account, THE ONLY ONE THAT PAYPAL WOULD VERIFY IS A LANDLINE.

Maybe things are different for US buyers. I also needed to keep landline due to fact that paypal will still occasionally verify a purchase, requiring a code. That did calm down after 500 or so purchases.

Dude I just did 3 new accounts last night using Google Voice and it worked for 2, the third one I used virgin mobile. Don't tell us that only land line works. I have used the same method for the past year.

I'm sorry but your doing something wrong.

Might need to discuss the issue with folx in the know if you are having such problems.

Have you attempted to MAKE A PURCHASE with these accounts?

[astralman]

I signed up for google voice and got it to forward to my cell phone.

everytime i put the google voice number in paypal for a purchase it says we cannot verify your number with the database.

I think you just have luck then.

[rsot]

Cant be just luck if it`s working for hundreds of people.

Get a tracfone and try it out.

I recall all your troubles.

You did explain your problems fully as I remember.

I'm thinking this issue with paypal verification has everything to do with PURCHASES. With all the CC fraud out there, paypal wants a landline linked to CC's and address where CC statements are mailed.

Also, this is a paypal thing, ebay was cool with pre-paid cell.

I'm having the same issues with my PayPal BUYING accounts. I have luck to make 5-30 purchases with a new account and then PayPal asks for call verification. No matter what forwarding things I tried, nothing works for any of those accounts! Even my new real cellphone number.

When I call PayPal none of the representatives (even the supervisors!) understand why its happening... But then they say, have you tried a landline? I say I don't have one.

[norma]

A landline WILL solve this issue.

[astralman]

I waited a couple of days and didnt ask me for the number. Then it would ask me for the number.
Paypals system is stupid that its a must for a landline usually these days.

Do they not know people use cell phones and other means these day.

[Roma198808]

Since they kinda push now to provide them with a landline number and since I never had one... I have a question.
If I get one, will they be able to get the info about that number? Or do they only see a new number and not real info about the landline's subscriber?

google voice works for me!
