Phone number verification solution - THIS WORKS !
OK, guys, i know the voip issue and it doesnt work
with verification for ebay or paypal.
I have been using UK money phone boxes for verification.
I have over 15 accounts all working with this system
You will need a friend or as i do a USB dongle to go mobile
and possibly a laptop as i do
Sign up if you have to if you desperately want to keep trading!
There are some good deals around for 12 month contracts for
£10-15 a month (a small price to pay)
It is a little awkward but it works as follows :
1. Find a call box and note the phone number on it.
2. Have your laptop with you at the call box and
enter the call box number into the sign up part
of the ebay verification system.
3. The call box will ring and give you the 4 digit ver'
number.
4. Now for the clever part. The automated voice asks
you if you are execting the call and randomly asks you
to press an number between 1-9. NOW, if you press
the call box number, say six then you will discover to
your horror that all UK phone boxes are not touch tone
so nothing will happen !
5. The solution is to hold up your mobile phone and put the
speaker directly to the call box ear headset and press the number
that ebay is asking for
6. You will notice on all mobiles that when you press any number
from 1-10 the pitch is slightly different for each number.
7. VOLA ! You will hear the verification number given to you and
away you go.
NOW, I know you will be saying, i dont have a dongle or a laptop
but with a friend in hand you can get them to activate the call
from your PC and use your mobiles to get the call box number to ring.
There are plenty of call boxes out there and they all have their
phone numbers on.
Any questions just reply. I have been using this method for six
months and it works !
Good luck
