Cheapest ones on their site is $10 and I love saving money. Especially 50%

do you know how long it's been like that? My business partner ordered 6 about 2-3 weeks ago and they were $5 each.

No I just check randomly every few weeks, but Ive never seen them less than $10 (must be unlucky). I am also wondering if they are priced differently by region, since it asks you what zip code you are going to order it to. Might try some random zips and see if the price changes.

There are the random offhand quick sales - sometimes deals are even found on line

$5 tracfones <3

I'd like to hear about cheaper options from people, maybe cheap forwarding services comparable in price to tracfone.

[rsot]

The cheap forwarding services are likely to be overused and run to the ground, no?

[aspkin]

Possibly, if numbers are heavily recycled.

[Appletvjailbreak]

Got tracfones today at CVS for $4.99 a piece... they are on sale until Sept 20th according to the sign that they had. Came with 20 mins of time also. Just your basic LG Flip phone.

I'm surrounded by CVSs.. I'll check them out later today. Thanks!

I always think long term. I buy tracfones for the account then if it makes it to right before 60 days then instead of refilling it with a topup card I just pay a one time port fee $20 to google voice. Then the number stays active forever. No sense in having a drawer full of phones forever. Best solution long term I found.

I didn't quite get it. I buy t-mobile sim's. So instead of reup each 60-90 days with $10, you just pay $20 for lifetime active number? What is it called? "One number" in google voice ? If so, it won't work in case t-mobile recycles number for being inactive. Please clearify this if you can. TYIA

He ports his current number to his g.voice for just paying $20 one time payment and the number will be active forever so ebay or paypal can still call him on that number. It's more practical instead of keep adding airtime balance on the trancfone just to keep it active forever.

[olekstom87]

Ok, I found it. It costs $20 to ftransfer number to voice. Does it really work after that ? Does it have any expiration dates or do you need to reup voice ever ?
Also did you have any 0/0 AFTER TRANSFERING NUMBER TO GOOGLE or any kind of limitations? Or should I just stay at tmobile. Maybe they could track google now ? But I had at t-mobile 4/10 - 0/0/. So 40% had 0/0 even though using 07/22 vanillas and t-mobile sim's. So its random, not about google voice I think. I called for one of them - she said that I'm not on public record and didn't fix it to 10/1000.
Did you have probles 0/0 after transfering too google ?

I haven't tried it, but after you paid $20 to port your number to g-voice there will be no more fees and your number will be active as long as you want to use it. And for what i understood to what miketyson said, he only does it if the seller account is already stable, so for your t-mobile sim numbers you can still do that but once you already established the account then you can port the number to g-voice so you can buy new sim and create a new stealth account with your new number.

[viatos]

For the 0/$0 limit yes i had that same issue too, they can't find my info on public records, so maybe you can try to make accounts using common names. it's one of the reasons for the 0/$0 limit, and it's also possible that the number that you use was once a number of a banned seller on ebay before since the numbers are being recycled. I'm actually new here too so i'm also still in the learning process. ��

Ok back to topic. So recently I created around 16 accounts. These are my first stelths. But I do everything right. So from first 10 accounts I had 4/10 -0/0. Yesterday I made 6 accounts and all 6 were 0/0. I use vanillas and t-mobile sims and dongle.
So the difference I noticed is following. I created buying acconts instead of seller's. And later in a week I put cc info and they became seller's. First 5 accounts had better chance not to get 0/0 when you have linked fully verified paypal before creating seller's account. And yesterday I created 6 -0/0 only because I didn't create paypal at all and it gave me fault accts.

So the bottom line, there's a much better chance not getting 0/0 when you first link fully verified paypal to ebay and then only updat to seller's account. Also as stated above stay away from free phone services (at least at moment of creation).
These are ony my thoughts and exp which I had. Yours might differ

[aspkin]

Yes, it has always been suggested to verify and confirm PayPal before creating your seller account. While some can get away without doing this.. it's risky. The less risky behaviors (red flags) as you create your account the better..

[rsot]

I also vouch for creating the verified pp in advance of eB operations

Been the method I have used for the last 7 years.

My paypal(s) are fully operational long before having an ebay account near them.

Good discovery on your part.
