Getting "Invalid Phone Number" when trying to change to my new cell phone number.

My old cell phone died. I bought a new one. When I try changing my phone number to the new cell number, Paypal says that it is an "Invalid Number". What is the problem and why won't Paypal accept my new cell phone number?  I live in the good ole USA, and my account was opened in the USA.  I should not be having a problem just changing something as simple as a cell phone number.
