PayPal SMS number — price by country

PayPal asks for a phone number at signup and sends a 6-digit code to confirm it — but it also re-sends SMS codes on later logins and security checks. Use a one-time number to open the account, then replace it in settings with a number you keep, or you risk locking yourself out. Match the number's country to the account's country.
