Hello @glooneedshelp and @Tonchev1,
Welcome to the PayPal Community! I'm sorry to hear you've run into some issues using PayPal with an outdated phone number. I can understand how this can be a bit frustrating. I'd first recommend trying to update the number in your PayPal account, but if you run into any road-blocks there, you may want to try reaching out to our Customer Support to see what options are available to update that number.
Good luck!
