How do get a Security Code SMS when in another country?

Hey there!

 

I need to access the selling tools to check on some recurring payments I have set up for my online training program and I am overseas in America, however it is asking to send the security code to my mobile or home number - both of which are in Australia and I have no access to them.

 

I need to check this out by tomorrow so arrange payments.

 

Can someone help? How do I get around this? I have tried updating my nominated phone number to my US number but it just defaults to the Australian country code?

 

Please please help?! :):):)

 

Thank you in advance!

You can't circumvent security systems; they are there for this type of security.

You could phone PayPal cusotmer service for help, but PayPal is country-specific and you may just need to wait untl you are back in your own country.

if you have someone to trust in australia that can login your paypal account there and setup your travel plan. that should fix the problem. make sure not to login within 24hrs only the person in autralia will login to your account then setup the travel plan.
