adding a mobile number from a different country

[C206g]

Hi this is my first post. I hope there aren't dozens of threads dealing with this already!

I'm a UK based customer and think Pay Pal is brilliant. My problem is I work abroad at the moment and the double confirmation at sign in by receiving a text to my UK mobile effectively locks me out as my UK mobile is in the UK! When you try to add a number, +44 is defaulted to the beginning of the number, which is not a lot of help calling from a different country. Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks.

Paypal is country specific so if you move countries you have to open another paypal account in the country you reside in and add an address / phone number / bank accounts / cards from within that country.

You are supposed to withdraw any funds / resolve issues / remove cards and bank accounts before you leave your old country. If you don't then you may have problems doing so once you have moved and may need to contact customer services for help to resolve things.

You are allowed to have x2 paypal accounts x1 in each country but x1 must be personal and the other x1 is business.
