Help! SMS verification code is not coming for a week now service seems to be down.
I have checked with my carrier provider if they are not blocking - they claim nothing is blocked.
Can not add another number since it asks for verification on my primary phone.
When I receive money I get normal PayPal message and email and that part is working - but I can not get SMS with verification code only.
Can not pay any service as it asks me for verification SMS.
Can`t install PayPal app as it says it is not supported in my country (Serbia)....
