How to change my mobile number while temporarily out of UK

[imagemodeuk]

I often travel to other countries, but this time while away from home country I am making critical changes from personal to business account. All has gone well but need to change my mobile number while I am out of the UK, but it seems impossible.

HELP!!!!!

Hi there,

You can only add a UK phone number to a UK PayPal account.

Thank you David.

So I see that the rules are set in concrete, however inappropriate and outdated in a modern world in which many people travel for long or short periods, but need to deal with issues on their PayPal account back home. Without my current overseas mobile number on my account, and unable to answer texts to my PayPal listed UK number, a security issue arises, because I am temporarily not contactable except on my overseas number which I am not permitted to inform PayPal exists.

You might say I can use roaming, but I am currently located in a place where my UK SIM won't roam.
