Hello there,
I am not receiving any SMS verification messages from PayPal.
This issue occurs with my primary French number (+33), and I also tried with my Thai number (+66).
Nothing works. I have followed the instructions provided on PayPal's website for this issue.
This problem only happens with PayPal; I receive other SMS messages without any problem on both numbers.
Thank you

Make sure you are not using a VPN
• Reboot the phone to refresh the network signal.
• Clear phone inbox to ensure it is not full (for old phones with limited SMS capacity).
• Check if there are any phone applications/settings that are filtering SMS added recently.
• Alternatively, you may swap the SIM to another phone to verify if the delivery issue is phone related.
• Check if you are in roaming.
Check with the network provider as some may block the notifications coming in. If the issue persists, please reach out to customer support through the available contact options on the website.
