Change primary phone number.
1. It cannot be changed, because it sends the verification SMS to a phone number that I no longer have.
2. Call customer service to change the phone number. If I speak Hungarian and the customer service person speaks English, how do we communicate on the phone?
3. The SMS is sent to the old phone number, but that phone number may have already been given to a new subscriber by the phone provider. This subscriber looks at his phone confused as to why he is receiving SMSes from PayPal asking him to identify himself.

This phone number change method won't work if you don't have the old number. I think that currently the only way to change a primary phone number is if the user creates a new one in addition to the current account. This is not a very good solution.
