how to confirm identity with phone?
 

i make a paypal put a tracfone number in beginning but it asks for address then says address dont match number how are people passing the identity part

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

Trafones have been a problem lately with doing phone verifications. You are better off getting a Virgin Mobile prepaid phone for $10 and paying $30 a month. You can change the phone number as much as many times as you want.

thanks but it passes the address verification part? note i am not linking the card i am wanting to confirm the identity

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

Are you registering the tracfone online before adding the #? You can add a zip code to the tracfone on the tracfone website when you activate the phone.

Hey thanks so much for this info. Is there a cost to change the phone number when using Virgin Mobile prepaid phones?

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

Someone please answer this that knows for sure:

Is there a cost to change the phone number when using Virgin Mobile prepaid phones?

Also will they verify your phone number on paypal every single time with no problems?

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

I have mentioned this already in other post:
The Phone Verification ONLY works with the Number you Originally used when registering the Paypal.

What won't work:
1. Adding a New Number
2. Changing the Number

If you don't have access to the number you used when registering the paypal.....it will not work.

We need a sticky with this info, so many different threats with this issue every week.

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

This is completely inaccurate, at least for me. What works is registering a phone number in the same zip code as the account.

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

That is the very first time I have ever heard anything like that ever.

Makes me think that you are joking are you?

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

Sticky will not work.

paypal game changes almost daily.

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

True that!

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

I just dd it yesterday. The number I had - Virgin prepaid, was a different area code then the stealth account I made. I kept getting the error "this number doesn't appear to be registered to you.". I made a Google Voice number within the same zip code and it worked.

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

So let me get this straight the first phone number you register with paypal is the one that you need to verify paypal with. Because any phone number you add afterwards will never work for the paypal verification ever again no matter what phone you use or what phone carrier it is for that single paypal account?

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

That is not correct. Re-read the thread.

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

This is my experience as well. Once you add a number to paypal, you best plan on keeping it active. Because once you change it, you will start geting errors from paypal that do not make since. I once thought this was a glitch, but this seems to be here to stay. In the accounts I have been preparing, this information provided by MM78 has been the most accurate.

I have tried VoIPs, TracFones, and VZ pre-paids. It hasn't matter which platform for a phone I have used. Once I tried changing the number, thats when all the problems began. Also, when you go to add a bank account, be prepared for PP to want to send you a PIN over the phone via text or call. As everyone posting here has noticed, PP has been very good about sending messages like "this number does not appear to be registered to you" when you try to get that PIN when adding a bank account.

I believe PP being able to check phone numbers is a lie. They just don't like to see numbers changed soon after creating an account. I am not saying anyone is wrong here. I am just saying what is working for me right now.

Good Luck Stealthers!

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

It has to do with the zip codes.

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

Lol it has to do with zip codes

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

Keep laughing bro. If you're going to troll every comment I make, at least have all your facts.

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

Please clarify exactly what facts I am missing please?

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

That you clearly don't know what you are talking about.

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

You are joking right?

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

Not at all, in fact, apparently you are think I'm so some schmuk, who knows nothing. I have been a member here for over two years. I have been doing stealth accounts for a years before that. I do not claim to know everything because I do not. I do however, know quite a few things. I know what works and what doesn't...for ME. The advice I give on here is based on trial and error AND the fact it works, again, for ME.

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

I got more thank yous in this forum than you got posts lmao. Ok lets have a real discussion no bs bull talking lets talk openly about confirming identity on paypal. Go first

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

So you are basing this on post counts? Seriously dude? Read my previous post I edited.

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

First thing you said use virgin than the next thing the same thread virgin does not work and use google voice. First thing is none of those methods work and if any of them do please give me a thread link where someone besides you says it. You even contradict yourself in the same threads

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

Lets be honest, 99% of the Stealthers here on the forum already KNOW that the number that is associated with the account should be in the same zipcode OR same area code, it's basic stealth.

@Breakthecycle2, when I say something it's NOT because I just pulled it out of my @ss or heard it through the grapevine, When I open my mouth it's because I've tested it out myself extensively. Now, I understand that you have a 100% workaround method for everything but as you can see most on here agree with me or have tried everything themselves.

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

Dude you make everyone have to funnel through more crap because you keep telling people jack and the beanstalk stories

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

Dude, I never said I have 100% work around for everything. I said it works for me and it does. Thats the only reason I give advice, because I have tested different things a dozen times. Does it always work? No it does not, but does everything always work with paypal? No.

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

Hahaha right dude. Do you seriously think I have the time to come and troll a message board by giving people false information? Give me a break.

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

yeah we can all agree that sometimes anything works, to be honest shoot I still have old stealthers with metabanks on them

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

Show me where I said Virgin doesnt work? Show me because thats all I used. What I said was one virgin mobile didn't work for me because I had the wrong zip code and I was not able to change the number online. Thats why I went to a Google Voice number. How the hell can you say none of them work? I do ALL THE TIME.

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

@breakthecycle dude break the cycle and stop telling people stories

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

Are you saying that you are confirming identity all the time and all with virgin mobile lmao and if for some reason virgin mobile does not work than google voice. You are either delusional or you do not even know what confirm identity even is.

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

So, because it doesn't work for you, you are saying it doesn't work at all right? Then why do I have 10 Virgin mobile friggin phones attached to 10 different stealth accounts, all verified? Meaning when I received a payment, I needed to confirm my identity via an automated call or text.

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

I have 25 verified stealths with google voice on them so does that mean google voice works? Hint google voice worked 2 yeaes ago NOT now

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

Perhaps that's the key....Virgin Mobile....are these Pre-paid phones? If so, can you "tell us" or would it best via PM?

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

LMAO. That explain to me why it just did a few days ago for me? Explain to me how, when I received a payment with a 21 day hold, it required me to confirm my identity with an automated call or text which I did with a GOOGLE VOICE #?

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

No need to PM. Yes they are prepaid. I use the $5-$10 prepaid ones with the $30 a month PP plan. You can register it with a name or not and you can change the info and phone number once a day online.

Re: how to confirm identity with phone?
 

They dont work look them up on searchbug
