Well most folks have to have a number code texted to them whenever they log in to their paypal account, that does not make it a business account.
Once logged in does it say anything about requiring business information?

Hello @ladyciel,
Welcome to PayPal Community Forum and thank you for posting!
I understand that your account was switched to PayPal Business accidently. Not to worry, since it was a mistake, I would advise you to contact our Customer Care Department who can help you further downgrading your business account to a personal account. You can do this by clicking on the Contact link at the bottom of every PayPal page to check what your contact options are. You can also contact us through Twitter direct message or Facebook instant message.
Regards,
Ayesha
