Phone number changed - can't log in

My mobile number changed a few years ago but I never updated my profile. 

Now I can't log in as Paypal wants to send me a text on the old number to verify the account.

I've tried logging in from a different browser which doesn't work.

Also tried using the Help Chat system, but this also requires me to log in to proceed.

Tried ringing the help support number but spent ages going round and round in circles with the automated options, could not get to a point of speaking to an actual person.

Funny thing is, when I selected 'Ask the Community' to access this forum, it allowed me to log in to create this profile to do this!

Really stuck as to how to resolve. Would really appreciate if anyone can offer some help with this please?

Hi. I moved back home so my UK phone number is terminated now. 

How can I login with my new permanent number so I can use my original PayPal registration?

Thanks.

So I’m trying verify my account so I can use the QR scan option in stores. It’s saying I need to verify who I am with a number I don’t have access to. Is there a way I can get rid of that number and put a new one? I tried adding a new number from my settings and it’s still asking for the old one? Some help would be awesome!
