So I am traveling to India for vacation and to attend several family weddings for the months of December and January. My US # cannot be reached from here as I do not have cell service in India. There is no Sprint in India. I play mobile app games and sometimes I make purchases, paypal wants me to verify my phone number while I’m in a foreign country how can I possibly do that?

If you are using a country specific paypal account in another country then paypal needs to know that it is you and not a scammer that has hijacked it and using it internationally.
The only way that they can do that is by sending a text for verification to the phone you have linked to your paypal account.
If you can't verify that way then odds are the account will be limited until you can get home and sort it.
