I have a new phone and a new number... Whenever I try to log in, Paypal asks to send verification to old phone #.... Customer support is not answering calls due to Corona Virus. I got an email verification code and entered it but then Paypal asked again for phone/text verification. WTF.....How am I supposed to log in to change my phone #, if I can't log in....&^%$

Thank you for the info...BUT if you will please re-read my OP ...you will see I have already tried that. The problem is with phone verification...Paypal is using my OLD # that I do not have anymore. As I have to be able to login to change the phone number used for verification, I am at a catch-22.
