Don't have a mobile

[StewartM]

Got an email stating I had 60 days to confirm a mobile number to my paypal or my account will be impacted. Problem is I don't have access to a mobile phone.

Can't you buy a cheap pay as you go phone?

Cheers. Appreciate the response. I don't have much in the kitty - so I'll probably forget PayPal.

Withdraw your funds first or you won't be able to close the account.

If you can't withdraw them then send them to a family member or mate or a charity.

If you can't access your account then contact customer services to close it for you?

Do you need the close account link if you can close it?

Hi,

Sorry not to have replied before now.

I actually woke up, and remembered that I knew what to do, so there was no problem!🤕

That's a problem of being in one's 9th decade.

Cheers

Thanks for your response. I'm not interested in getting a mobile.

Do I need a mobile to continue using paypal in the future?

@StewartM 

Sadly paypal do state that to access your account in the future you need to be able to accept texts to a mobile phone.
