Craigslist Phone Verified Accounts

In an attempt to reduce spam, Craigslist has recently activated its latest weapon with great success. It all started when Craigslist required Craigslist Phone Verified Accounts to post in the most heavily trafficked erotic services section. Many people did not realize that this was just the first step Craigslist was going to take. Basically, before you can post in the services section now, you must verify your Craigslist account via phone. This is a simple process that involved inputting your phone number, receiving a phone call and a code and then typing it in. Having completed this you are now able to post in phone verified sections. After the introduction of phone verification, there have been some obvious changes. Phone verified accounts permit you to only post one ad every 48 hours in sections that require phone verification. The good side however is that many spammers have been eliminated from posting as they live outside of the USA or live in the USA but can not get enough phone numbers to continue posting like they used to. Craigslist continues to fight spam and now just having a Craigslist proxy isn't enough, you need phone numbers as well. All in all, I think Craigslist Phone Verified Accounts has had a positive effect on Craigslist.

If you have been faced with the problem of needing to use Craigslist Phone Verified Accounts, then you will need to know which kind of numbers you can use. Craigslist does not support every kind of phone number. This has been done delibrately to stop people from finding loop holes and abusing the phone verification system. In actual fact, only a very few kinds of phone numbers are supported. The two kinds of numbers which you can use to create phone verified accounts are cellphone numbers and landline or standard home numbers. While this sounds simple, there is more to it. Several cell phone providers are not compatible with Craigslist. The main problematic ones are prepaid cell phone cards. Since they are easily obtained and fairly cheap, Craigslist has blocked them as some people may buy them with the single purpose of making Craigslist Phone Verified Accounts. Other non-compatible numbers are VOIP. VOIP numbers are blocked because Craigslist believes they are too easy to get access to due to their low price and will be abused just to verify accounts. If you are looking to make your own phone verified accounts, you will have to make sure that whatever number you use does not fall under the category of being VOIP or some kind of prepaid cellphone network.

There is no bill from Craigslist if you use a phone number to create a phone verified account. This step is required only to verify your account and not to try and bill you. Many people make the assumption that Craigslist will somehow send them a bill or charge their phone records for something. This does not happen at all. Making people verify their accounts by phone is simply a verification process and nothing more. Making this a requirement makes it difficult for people outside of the USA and spammers to abuse Craigslist. This doesn't stop people from making Craigslist Phone Verified Accounts through other means or methods that Craigslist isn't currently blocking. Be it self created or purchased verified accounts, Craigslist will not try and make you pay any kind of fee at anytime. It is only a verification step.

Craigslist Phone Verified Accounts are special and should not be used like normal accounts. There are certain rules that need to be followed when using them. If you do not adhere to these verified account rules you more than likely will find your accounts quickly banned by Craigslist. Do not post too many ads with verified accounts. No more than one ad every 48 hours should be posted via verified accounts. Posting more than this may result in the account being suspended by Craigslist. If you do post a similar ad within the 48 hour time span you will probably get a warning from Craigslist about a duplicate ad and the new ad will not be posted. If this happens to you, stop posting with that account and give it a few days to rest. When using verified accounts to post it is best to use multiple accounts and swap amongst them while posting. Post with accounts from group A on day 1 and then on day 2 post with accounts from group B. Only on the third day should you post with accounts from group A again. The key point to remember is not to post more than one ad every 48 hours when using Craigslist Phone Verified Accounts.

You may have one or two accounts on Craigslist placed on hold. The exact cause of accounts being put on hold is unknown but it is possibly related to posting too many ads. Having an account put on hold isn't a big problem as you can quickly and easily create a new one. However, Craigslist Phone Verified Accounts can also be blocked. Many people assume that because the accounts are phone verified, they can't be blocked by Craigslist. They make the mistake of assuming that verifying the accounts makes them super accounts and can post as much as they like. This is utterly wrong. In actual fact, you should post and use phone verified accounts very carefully and not treat or handle them the same way you would normal accounts. Phone verified accounts must still adhere to all posting rules on Craigslist. Craigslist Phone Verified Accounts will be blocked just like normal account if you are found abusing Craigslist.
