Hi!
I live in Europe , but my stealth accounts are US
I buy US Google voices ($1-2) and receive text on it

Re: Cheapest phone option to verify paypal
 

People need to keep the number alive that is registered with Paypal, I don't get why this is difficult task.

This concept is too difficult for some people...

If your going with a few accounts I would just go with a tracfone. It is by far the best option to pass all PP security text & Calls.

LOL, It would seem so these days....

Re: Cheapest phone option to verify paypal
 

do you need one phone for each line or can you get one phone and multiple lines?

Re: Cheapest phone option to verify paypal
 

One phone for One Line.

i tried this a few times about 2 months ago. paypal still told me they couldn't verify.

Those are not good for stealth. I tested a number of them after Tracfone made it necessary to add airtime. All of the accounts I tried to create ended up with limits of 5/500 and 0/0.

For a good stealth account, you need a phone number that has not been used and abused and it needs to be on a known network, like Verizon or AT&T. Thankfully, most of the smaller cellular carriers like Tracfone use the national networks, so they are fine.

Google Voice is also known to produce accounts with limits of 5/500 consistently. I would stay away from them, except as a secondary number and then, only on PayPal.

Sorry, but there really are no free or $1 solutions that I am aware of.

AT&T go phone, I got for 8 bucks at Walmart. Can't beat that ;)

Re: Cheapest phone option to verify paypal
 

tracfone 10$ & purchase 10$ airtime online. Not sure if this will fix your problem of adding a bank however.

For paypal, I would just use Google Voice. However, Google Voice will not yield good limits for eBay. I also like TracFone if you are in the US.

Re: Cheapest phone option to verify paypal
 

Google voice all the way for PayPal, but if PayPal is asking for phone confirmation when adding a bank. Most likely it is a bank that has been abused before much like Ally, metabank and a few others.

Everytime I open an account I get a £1 sim card and put in my phone and get a new number that way. Ill keep the sim card and add the phone number on my desktop in my notepad in case I ever need it.

Re: Cheapest phone option to verify paypal
 

from which website you get can you let me know

Re: Cheapest phone option to verify paypal
 

I don't get my sim cards off a website. I get them from my local shop so HomeBargains or a fix phone shop in my town their only a £1 for a sim card actually a little cheaper at HomeBargains 89p I think lol.

Can I also get them from a phone shop like Virgin, EE, Carphone Warehouse but those phone shops require top up when you purchase one so will either be £5 or £10.

You can probably get them on eBay or finding them on a website on Google.

Too bad Tracfones dont have international roaming :(

Re: Cheapest phone option to verify paypal
 

Does it still work to start with a TracFone, then after it's verified, switch the number to google voice to avoid the monthly fee? I saw posts in the past saying this worked, but I haven't moved my TracFone's over yet.
