How to Pass the Craigslist Phone Verification


1.
Many of us have tried using a legitimate VOIP phone number to pass the Craigslist verification system. However, it is often a tiresome and unsuccessful process that only leaves us frustrated. The leading cause of our grief is Craigslist's unwillingness to accept a VOIP or other internet-based phone number. Trying to resolve the issue is not easy, as Craigslist makes it quite tricky to contact them when you are having a problem (many people use the Craigslsit online contact form without ever receiving an answer back). Yet, with the following Craigslist contact information, you can have your account up and running in no time!

As soon as you call the Craigslist phone number, the automated system will announce your place in line. You'll be pleasantly surprised to find out that your hold time is very short, as many people do not possess the Craigslist contact information. Once you are transferred to a customer service rep, you'll be greeted by a pleasant person who will listen to your problem. The phone verification issue seems to be a common incident with Craigslist and the rep will be ready to manually verify your phone number right away.

Depending on the rep, you may be required to call back with your phone number unblocked, so that they can see it on their caller ID display. If you placed your original call with your phone number blocked, the rep may simply choose to call you at your phone number in order to verify that it is a legitimate number.

Your phone number will be manually verified in the Craigslist system -- your number will automatically be associated with the email address and Craigslist account that was denied verification through the online process. As a result, you will not have to furnish the email address that is linked to your Craigslist account. Once the manual Craigslist phone number verification is complete, you can log into your Craigslist account and start posting immediately.

If you have more than one Craigslist account, such as one for personal postings and one for business postings, then you will need to call Craigslist back with a second phone number.
