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?

The sim card went missing and I wasn't able to change the number, now I'm completely locked out because I can't receive the confirmation text.
Oddly, I tried to access it by changing the password and it let me change the password without any requests for phone verification.
So if I'm the user I got locked out, but if I'm a hacker I can change the password without verification.

Hello, how can I change the phone number of an account without logging in it? The issue is that I have an account which is associated with a phone number which is no longer active and I cant login becouse the system keeps sending SMS to an invalid phone. Is there a way to change the phone number without loggin in the account? Thanks.

My phone number has changed. I cannot log in without getting a verification code sent to the (old) phone number, and cannot change the phone number without logging in. Maddening! Help!
