I have a website setup and am trying to get ad revenue (wordpress.com site). Issue is that I need a Paypal account, for which I need a phone number and bank account from the same country. I have Canadian bank stuff, but no Canadian phone number. I’ve checked out skype, viber, textnow, openphone, and a few other services but none work (because I’m in Lebanon and they require a phone number to sign up). Any ideas? A VPN won’t work since most services are requiring that I sign in using my phone number, which is Lebanese.
I didn’t think about that. I’ve only ever used it for 2 things, and only one of them was a new number. That was over 10-years ago.
I live overseas so I regret giving up my number. I don’t use it often, but it was the best if not only free way to call us numbers.
My wife and I increasingly wish we lived overseas!
Pro-tip: don’t use it on job applications.
Many systems auto reject forms with voip numbers to weed out bot traffic.
