Using Craigslist Phone Verification Codes

Account Closed

Hello BiggerPockets Community,

I need advice on posting property ads on Craigslist. Originally I had 1 account but advertised multiple properties (sometimes multiple properties within one state as well as properties across the U.S.) The ads were constantly getting flagged/deleted by craigslist bots as I suspect. I did some reading and found out that craigslist does not allow multiple property ads within a state as well as in different states. Some ads have stayed up but I don't know why.

I tried contacting freelancers such as Fiverr or Upwork as well as other services but most don't do craigslist as well as when I type craigslist they automatically block the request.

I want to be able to manage this myself. I have created several email accounts 1 for each property but this means that I need a phone number for each property. I started asking people that I know for their phone number but it is not enough because anytime I need to make an edit such as adjust the price, add pictures, ect. it sends a different verification code and then I have to be in touch with that particular person who supplied their phone number for that particular property. 

I looked into different free applications such as Pinger and textfree which allow you to create a different phone number all the time by logging out and logging in again. But I suspect that once I log out I will lose that phone number permanently and then when I need to make an edit to my craigslist ad I wont have access to that phone number to retrieve the message.

I was referred to Cheappvas which is a paid site for craigslist phone verification numbers. Has anyone used this or something else?
