Adding a German phone number.

Hello community, I need a little help with entering a German phone number in. Until now I had a Croatian number which i no longer use.
When I type in the German number alone or with the German call number +49 paypal says; "you have entered an invalid phone number."

 

So any help or tips would be really helpful since I can't figure this out.
Thanks in advance.

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

This policy is obsolete. I'm from Costa Rica and moved to Germany 3 years ago. A lot of users don't want to have 2, even 3 PayPal accounts.

We live a in globalized world now. Please tell your managers.

You are only allowed 2 paypal accounts maximum, and only then if 1 is personal and the other 1 is business.

 

However you can have those 2 paypal accounts in different countries as long as you have an address / phone / financial info for that country linked to the paypal account.

 

Other than that you would need to close 1 account to open another in your new country.

Lastly I do not have any managers.
