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?

I want to add a UK phone number to my paypal account, but I actually signed up to paypal from a completely different country.
When typing the uk phone number I get the message that the number is invalid, probably because of the (foreign) country code.
Is it possible to add that new phone number at all?

Paypal is country specific so you have to open another paypal account in the country you reside in and add an address / phone number / bank accounts / cards from within that country.
You can however add a U.S bank account (not card) to 'most' other countries paypal accounts. This is because paypal is a U.S company and so allows this.

Since I do not use a mobile phone I cannot receive text messages or cellular phone calls. Without access to my account information I can no longer use PayPal. Does anyone know how I can close my account? The only ways to contact PayPal are by mobile phone, there is no email contact.
