I'm from the USA but spending a few months exploring Southeast Asia. How do I change my phone number with PayPal so they have my current number in another country? Every time I try to enter it I get "Invalid Phone Number".
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 / and bank accounts from within that country.

Thank you for the response. But I didn’t move, I’m traveling. My home address is the same. When a person travels to a different county they purchase a SIM card so they can use their smart phone. How do I get PayPal to allow me to use that number?
Using my home country mobile number is useless as I’m not there. And using that number in another country would create insane charges. I find it hard to believe that I’m the only person who has wanted to use PayPal while traveling abroad. There must be a solution.
Most folks that i know that travel use the same phone worldwide, I know that I do, why would you need another SIM?
I phoned from Russia last May and Cuba a few months earlier from my same phone AND bought stuff from Ebay.
I had to submit a verification code when i paid with paypal to prove it was me that was using my paypal linked phone in another country but after that all was fine.
