Google Voice Support

I can see from previous posts that Google Voice hasn't been supported with Paypal for 5+ years. It still isn't working. Can anyone comment on when Paypal will finally be able to text folks with google voice numbers?

Google voice clearly works with other 2 factor authentication systems that I currently use, so it's not them...

It's an intermittent issue for me. Some days it works, some days it does not.

I am using a Google Voice #. PayPal allows me to add the number, and during initial setup of the # I do get the confirmation code sent to my Google Voice chat, as expected.

 

However, this doesn't work when purchasing: if I am asked to verify with a code during a purchase, the code never arrives.

 

So setup works, but auth challenge doesn't. Guess the challenge code needs to be updated.

I also have this issue. I have google voice in my account but there's a quick security check that won't accept my voice number and allow me to make a purchase. I've tryied buying this gift card on my PC and on my phone an neither one will process it. I guess paypal doesn't want my money, again. I'm not going to fight with a company that can't get their act together. This has been a problem for years! SUPPORT GOOGLE VOICE!

some banks (PayPal included) don't support a VoIP number (an internet number)
they want to know who it is, so they ask for a phone what's registered in your name
