Anyone know how to bypass the phone verification system?

Of what I hear the Personals will be next...

Im trying to get prepared before it happens..

Doesn't sound like there is a way out of it.

For those who don't know, Craigs*list has implemented a phone verification system in certain categories to reduce SPAM content. When you attempt to make a post, it asks for you to verify yourself by typing in a viable phone number. It automatically calls it and repeats a verification code which you must then enter for your post to go live. If your post gets flagged, the phone number you verified with will be blacklisted.

Maybe pre-paid cellphones would work? That'd get expensive though.

For personals it will tough....
Because ads are always getting flagged..

That site postingexpert.org he claims to have a way around t..

We will see.

Looks interesting..

buy a monthly subscription to a disposable phone numbers service, such as vumber.com and tossabledigits.com

depending on what plan you get they charge around $0.20-$0.99 for a additional number but it's free if you delete the 1st number they issued you and get a new number

Craigslist sucks anymore ...

They've just started doing this in the computer services section too. I'm seriously freaking out now because I make the majority of my income off that section. I'm a freelance designer.

I don't know how I'm going to pay my bills if I can't find a way around this. Anyone have a suggestion? Please?

I was just about to say that

Why not use GrandCentral? It's free.

Grand Central isn't accepting any new sign ups. I tried.

Vumber is $5 per month which would be fine, but they only let you change your number 3 times, and after that you have to pay 1.99 for each change.

Does anyone know of a service that gives free disposable numbers that forward to your regular phone?

Privatephone is down. So is Craigsnumber, and numbr.com

I just need to get into the Computer Services section...they have it locked down like it's ES.

GC pulled the invite button also...

Matchdigits is also down.

Jangl works but they make the caller jump through hoops to get connected the first time and CL won't do that.

I'm gaining wrinkles by the minutes here...

Question, will using a free number that goes straight to voicemail work? In other words, will CL leave a message that you can retrieve or must you physically answer the call?

have you looked into tossabledigits.com?
I'm not sure if they charge to change your number after a set number of times but since they are a competitor of vumber I think they would charge.
