Not a solution, problem is not resolved.    Having to spend at least $10 a month to have a minimum mobile service plan just to use PayPal, stupid.   I have a free text messaging service that can receive texts from any source and then when received sends notifications to my email.  This service is an IP phone service that I use for calling vendors/suppliers or possible spam numbers.  Never have to give up (by caller id) or provide my home phone this way.  PayPal does not allow this valid text phone to be entered as a phone number for there account.  Why?   I get login security codes from all my financial accounts either by email, land line phone or the free text service, PayPal is the only money transfer/financial service that uses a mobile phone ONLY.   A stupid and moronic process to resolve a security issue that does not exist. ...

I have no cell phone and am unable to login since it is calling my home land line.  I do have a text service, but when I enter that number, paypal refuse to accept it.   I did not have this problem when I created the account several years ago.    How do I get around this problem, customer service is of no help.  CS just asks me to create a new password every time that I call. ...
