how to confirm identity with phone?

[johnwick]

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

[Breakthecycle2]

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

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?

Someone please answer this that knows for sure:

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

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.

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

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

Makes me think that you are joking are you?

True that!

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.

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?

That is not correct. Re-read the thread.

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!
