looking for a long term number to associate with paypal account, smspva and other services only offer 24 hours numbers or they have long term numbers but they cost around 100 dollars for a year which is way too much, i tried google voice but it doesnt seem to work anymore, also tried 2ndline but the app refuses to give me a number and banned me instantly.
are there any working affordable alternatives?
 
google voice doesn't work for you? about a week ago still worked for me
 
Bro just go out and buy a sim card and use that. Like a psysical sim card. Put it in some old phone, use it. Works like a charm :D

Do a bit of research before buying. I have a few sim cards that when you top up balance last for 12 months, and i have others that last 4 months. Different companies provide them.

So i have to top up the ones that last 4 months three times per year, in order to keep the numbers active. While the ones that last 12 months i only top up once per year.

Minimum top up around here is $2 bucks. So one sim card costs me $6 per year to maintain while the other costs me $2 per year.

Come to think of it, i should really get rid of the ones that only last 4 months and replace with the ones that last 12 months.

Eh.. not enough time in a day, plus im scared of change :p

I'm running US stealth paypal accounts but I don't live on the US so getting physical Sim cards is out of the option unfortunately

how do you run stealth Paypal accounts, question, as I have just been caught out with the Thai update that NOW requires a company > company bank > Paypal. Thanks and I was about to start a site or 2 but now I'm hamstrung as A). I do live in Thailand and B). impossible to Travel anywhere ATM without larges "financial" losses...If you could help I'd be grateful.
 
You can use Google Voice for that!

How? Sorry totally Green! Does Google Voice include an SMS service with "country code numbers" with validity say 12 months. I will check out GV anyway, thanks.

Google voice is US numbers only. Also GV might cause issues with sending transactions and getting security codes, use real phone numbers, they work much better
 
Buy from google play any app can provide you for 12 months 15 to 25$ each year. Sample app Vinky.

The issue is on those platforms are you able to send and receive SMS, i.e. Security Codes from Banking apps that you have set up be it: PayPal/Stripe/Mercury etc. I', finding it hard to get a DEFINITIVE answer and I must have looked at 10 offerings, it seems sending SMS is super simple, BUT receiving it...not so. Thanks for comment:.)))

GV might work then, LLC -> EIN > PAYPAL > ring ring, at least initially, sure I know PP is a bitch on heat, without the warmth, but in a storm I'd rather have a umbrella than a sardine, sorry that's an Eric Cantona reference and very opaq. Thanks for reply. appreciated. :.)
 
You can try Google Voice for that I hope that work i hope you understand you i mean thank you

Is running stealth accounts = Paypay multiple accounts with a "Mobile-Number" linked, if so, which reliable (fixed-mobile-phone-number (virtual)) service do you use to make sure you receive the security PIN from Pay Pal, thanks. Sure, many virtual numbers, even FREE, but I need consistency, and I am willing to pay for a number as long as it works with SMS, -TIA. :.)

For 50 dollars I sell you a guide where you can get the rent of a number in the United States for less 1 dollar a month and it works for PayPal.
 
Try SMSPool they do let you select your own areacode, it's around $30 a month for a US rental though. Although a physical sim is WAY cheaper.

SMSPVA still active and servicing you all who need SMS codes for different works or accounts? Sometimes this website or more often than not many times delays to give your codes so all of a sudden internet works is affected because this has a smallest role or big part to some to complete internet works there are so good options but buying is hassle to your pockets or to our pockets in general there are no options only to buy Verizon, AtandT or Sim Cards in your country or accounts will not be verified.
 
phoneblur.com is one example
Re: Phoneblur. Thanks Mate, $10 a month and ONLY USA, optimally I need {UK+USA}, so although it's good for PureUSA not exactly what I'm looking for, BUT many, many thanks for trying. Gracias. :,) Saved as backup Plan.
