As the title says. I tried to call paypal help center but every number is not recognized by my phone provider.
Is there any way to just send a backup code or anything to my other email or something? I even know my security questions and everything just cant get past the annoying phone authentification...
I cant be the only one.

Paypal is country specific so if you move countries 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 should really withdraw any funds / resolve issues / remove cards and bank accounts / cancel any subscriptions and close the old Paypal account before you move countries. If you don't then you may have problems doing so once you have moved and may need to contact customer services for help to resolve things.
Contact options for Paypal are accessed by clicking help/contact bottom left of Paypal pages.
1. Paypal phones when available (you can use the guest option if you can't log in).
2. Live chat is also randomly available.
3. You can send them a message, during business hours you may also be able to message whilst logged out.
Or
4. Have you considered contacting Customer Service via Facebook or Twitter?
You can send them a personal message from their Facebook or Twitter pages.
It's: https://www.facebook.com/PayPal and @AskPayPal for Twitter.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.

Well, you can have a foreign number without living abroad. The problem isnt having a foreign number, the problem actually is that the numbers I entered, I dont have any access to which means I cant access my account. I will contact them over facebook/twitter... Haven't thought of that. Thanks for your reply!
