I'm trying to complete a security check to send money, but I don't have the same phone number anymore to receive the security code text. It won't let me add my new phone number because it is not in my name. Also, when I select "Try another way" for the security check, it does not provide any other options. There is no one to call on customer support because of the limited staffing. How can I resolve this?
