Is it a mobile and not landline phone as only the former is now used for i.d. verification?
Is it a phone issued in the U.S?
Is it registered in your name only?
Have you verified it after adding it as per link?

This is beginning to look to me to be a PayPal feature, not a bug. I'm easily finding hundreds of customers with same issue. Convenient way for PayPal to earn interest on our money for as long as possible. Every time I try to transfer money out it won't accept me cellular number and I have to wait until a real person can address the account lockout it generates and then wait another day or two before they actually initiate the transfer.
