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?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Do you have a U.S mobile phone linked to your Paypal account and do you live in the U.S?
Secondly have you checked with your phone provider that you can accept text from Paypal?
Also please edit your post and remove your personal email address from this worldwide public forum for safety reasons.

Sadly you can't use Paypal without a mobile phone now, so once you have regained access add one quickly so this does not happen again.
If you go to the 'Help & Contact' icon on the PayPal website. Then if you click the 'Contact Us' link at the bottom of the page. From here, if you click the 'Password and Account Access' option, then 'Login Problems'. On the next page, you will see a 'Call Us' option. You do not need to be logged in to use this feature.

Hi, I lost my phone and when I try logging in to Paypal it's sending the OTP to the lost number. Please let me know how I can retrieve my account. Thank you. I made a new but I still need the previous account to check if I have remaining balance and so that I can still use it because it is connected to my other apps that is used for transferring money.
