Got off the phone with Customer Service a moment ago.  Confirmed, mobile phones are now the standard and required to sign up and continue use of your account. 12 years i have used this service and without notice...not even a " hey you have 30 days to get your affairs in order and get out " ...nope just BAM. Shut the doors and lock us out. So much for sitting down to manage my finances for the month...left holding the bills and people waiting for their money. Supposedly an account specialist will call me on my home phone "soon" to see if they can help me. I fail to see the logic in this decision by paypal in so many ways...hope this gets resolved...12 years...sigh... ... View more
