Is it just me today? (ebay phone verification with soho66)

[cortex]

Hellooooo,

I just tried ebay phone verification with soho66 but when i got the call, there was no usual "hello this is eb4y calling, if you are expecting this shizzle, press.......niiiiiiiiiiine" in her retarded robotic voice. I just got a silent tone.

Wonder if theyve clocked onto its a voip? I rang it from my mobile and it works perfectly, even had a chat with myself to make sure its all kosher

anyone else ran into a recent spate of troubles?

[ShadyOne]

It worked fine for me the other day

How many times did you try?

[cortex]

About 6 ?
I dont want to hammer it - just incase.
I know with paypal you only get 3 hits, not sure how many with eb4y :-\

[ShadyOne]

I have done it so many times in a row with eBay in the past, before stealth, didn't seem to do anything.

I did panic when I went to press the number on my mobile phone and it didn't work...I forgot to turn my dial tone volume on

But yeah, don't know what your issue may have been

[cortex]

trying it now....no joy

[Imakemoney]

you just keep trying with same number cortex? or you tried on more than one account?

[cortex]

1 account - same number bro.
just the ebay woman dont wana say hello to me :(

[Imakemoney]

nasty woman

Give me half hour i will investigate

[ShadyOne]

Cortex, have you ever actually had success with soho66 and eBay verification?

[cortex]

slim - yeh ive always used soho66....think i used it last week ?

[cortex]

imake£....waitin to hear bk from you bro :D

[Imakemoney]

Just checked - soho66 is working fine for me mate.

try routing the number to a different phone if you and see if that makes a difference.

what is all this soho66 about ?

[ShadyOne]

It is a website that provides VOIP services in the UK.

That is superb ha ha

[sutab10]

Cortex, have you ever tried Sipgate, it's worked everytime I used it.

[cortex]

^Haven't tried it as of yet with this account, but i have used it successfully in the past.

That will be my next option.

Thanks :-)

[Imakemoney]

does SipGate keep an open line though if ebay/payal call?

[stealthmaster]

I've had problems with "Soho66" in the past Cortex there service was a hit and miss for me, I never really went back to them only as a last resort. Try a disposable sim card Cortex.

[cortex]

^Right.

Imake£: In the past they used to keep the line open, yes, but since a few months ago it just stays active for a short period of time, hence why i switched to 66 even though sipgate was free

[GTB]

has anyone used the 3cxphone on your laptop?
i phoned it to check its ok,and when i pressed a key for the dial tone it sounds the tone twice,

im abit worried coz when eb call and i have to input the 4 digit code it will dial it wrong,
e.g the code 1234,i press 1234 and it sounds 11 22 33 44 ?????
anyone?

no, you drive to soho, say fo' shizzle and they type it in for you at the chinese laundry. or am I getting my posts mizzed up..

anyhoo, I just checked, I always divert to landline, never failed..

zombie woman obviously doesnt like yo nizzle cortex..

GTB - on a mobile? your tones must be wrong, run thru the tones on the menu and see if you can get a better, most dont get recognised, you need correct one, or you can hold mobile up against a landline receiver whilst dialling and use some speakers?
