Security checks without a cell phone

[DanielsPottery]

Paypal no longer allows me to use a landline phone for a security check. I've never had a cell phone so how can I get into my account when hit with the security check. I don't have apps, don't text, and never will. I used to be able to get a four digit code over my landline. Now that option has been removed from my business account. When I call the 1-888 number, they are only mining data from 40 years ago, and not using the security questions offered at the time I opened the account years ago. This part is aggravating and seemingly unethical, if not illegal. It would be best if I could just get the security code on my landline. Has anybody else suffered with this problem?

You need to have a mobile (not landline) phone issued in your country and registered in just your name verified on your Paypal account to continue accessing your Paypal account.
Paypal are using mobile phones for i.d requirements for logging in and withdrawal funds for extra security measures.

There is no known security in cell phone usage. I'm not kidding, you are suggesting the WORST KNOWN FORM OF SECURITY WE HAVE IN THE I.T. INDUSTRY. Why would you switch from something known to be secure, to the WORST KNOWN SYSTEM.

It is a direct breach of your user policy. You can not force people in to third party negotiations nor contracts to access funds they already in to the account under different user requirements. They did not accept nor ask for the change and you are now demanding people buy a cell phone to access the funds they already put in the account. That is direct fraud and was called fraud by the supreme courts in America. It is straight up insane that you are doing this.

Your help line workers suggest using someone else's cell phone when the issue of not owning one comes up. Great security.

Lets tie the phone app on the phone itself to the security of transaction. THAT IS THE OPPOSITE OF SECURE.

Yes I am dealing with this disgusting practice right now. It is fraud and I hope someone has the funds to take them to court over it.

It is right in their user agreement that the extension of contract o third parties are no obligatory to the negotiation of contract nor account usage.

Yet here they have people telling you to pay for a cell phone in order to access your account. They never asked if you wanted this nor if you could comply. they simply locked down your account and demand that you pay for a tracking and tracing service in order to access your own funds.

They achieved this through an email with subjective notes stating non response is considered acceptance of the contract extension details. It does not hold in any court on earth and never has. They are committing what courts already ruled is blatant fraud.

You are being presented that your money is safe and you have access to it. They are trying to force you in to a third party contract with a cell phone carrier despite cell phones being the number one security threat in IT management. All this to access that account you put funds in to and they have artificially shut down at a later time to force socialist credit score compliance with cell phones.
