Is Google Voice a gamble?

[skyline]

I'm seeing mixed reviews on Google Voice when creating a stealth account. I would prefer to use it but does anyone know how to avoid getting axed via a Google Voice #? Or is the best option using a Tracfone?

[rsot]

Better option to use Tracfone - GV has been causing a ton of headaches for ppl on this forum reportedly.

I have never liked GV for creating accounts. I personally like tracfone much much better.

where do you find the cheap tracphones ? All I see is like 9.99 but the cheapest mins is 19.99 so ur paying 30 for every stealth attempt?

[SilentHill]

9.99 comes with free minutes. Enough for confirmation.

10 bucks doesn't seem to shabby.

GV is just a NONONO. Forget about it. Tracfones are the best.

[bjammin]

Best Buy, Walgreens, local grocery stores. Phones come with 20 minutes and you can buy 3 months for $20. So that breaks down pretty cheap.

GV is tempting because its free, but it should be avoided. It became abused and flagged by ebay. It is worth the extra money to ensure your stealth account survives for years.

CVS is also a pretty good place to find tracfones, founds a bunch at my local cvs for 5 bucks

[bluegrass1]

Yea I thought I read that u can get em with mins for 9.99 I know walmart and rite don't have this version they are no minutes phones thanks for the help going to Cvs tomorrow

[rsot]

GV has been very much overused to this point

[skyline]

Alright, I'll use a tracfone then.. hopefully they have some here and none of ya'll live near me.

Amazon currently has $5 tracfones with free prime shipping, and $3 tracfones with add-on shipping

Can I bring tracfone from the US to Canada and use in Canada? Anyone know about its roaming service?

I tried today. It was good at the border with USA network but after leaving the border, the network signal still full but it said no service. Sadly Tracfone doesn't offer roaming in Canada.

For Amazon Tracfone links, the Triple minute Add-On $3 tracfone is linked above.

For the double minute, PRIME SHIPPING tracfone, click here

When you buy a trac phone do the initial 10 or however many minutes stay on it until they are all used up?

Edit: Found it. Initial minutes are good for 2 months. Then you have to keep buying new 20 min cards that will be good for 3 months and these run $20. It is important to keep adding minutes every 3 months and not letting the initial phone number expire because paypal might ask you to verify it at any time, like when trying to withdraw.

That sucks that the mins expire..
