Thanks for posting. If you’re not receiving a text from us, you may need to contact your mobile phone carrier and ask them to turn on short-code text messaging. Depending on the transaction/activity we’ll send you one of 2 texts. We may send you a text asking you to confirm your activity (by replying 1 for yes or 2 for no). Or, we’ll send a text with a 6-digit code that you’ll need to enter on the screen. The code is in the body of the text and not the 725-729 from PayPal number. This code expires after 5-10 minutes. If you missed the timeframe, click Resend if the option is available or click Try another way.
