Cannot log in without phone number but no phone

I cannot log in to my paypal.

 

Whenever I try to log in I get asked to confirm a text message sent to my phone, but my phone isn't working. Using the same device/browser I've been using for years and never had this.

 

I click on verify by another method but it just takes me back to the screen about sending a message to my phone. There are no other options to verify by email or any other method.

 

Help section for login problems tells me about resetting password etc. I know my email/username and password and don't need to reset them.

 

I've tried to contact support but it tells me to log in in order to message them. GUESS WHAT I CAN'T LOGIN THAT'S THE WHOLE PROBLEM JFC.

 

Then suggests calling support. I can't do that either with my phone not working.

 

Only thing I seem to be able to do is log in to the forum. So what do I do?

Borrow someones phone and phone customer services to see if you can verify via your security questions.

Or get your phone fixed?
