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?

Trying to update my phone number. Haven't used the old number they ask for in 8 years. Won't let you log in to website to change it. The phone hotline refused to process the request and hung up on me. Is there a solution?

I have the same problem - I can't pass the verification due to an invalid phone number. I'm trying to find a way to send an email or message to customer support, but this seems impossible if you can't log in (at least for me). I don't use social networks and I'm reluctant to use a phone number due to possible costs. Really don't know what else to try...

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.
