Trying to set up a PayPal account and it hits you with that "Enter your phone number" screen?

Yeah... super annoying.

Maybe your SIM is not working, you've already used your number, or, maybe (and this is totally fair), you just don't feel like handing over your personal digits yet again.

Whatever the reason, you don't need your real phone number to get past that screen. Yup, there's a workaround. And it's surprisingly easy.

This guide shows you exactly how to use PayPal Without a Phone Number — safely, quickly, and without any hassle.



🔒 So… Why Bother Using a Virtual Number for PayPal?

Let's be real, PayPal loves to double-check your identity. You try to sign up or log in, and boom… it wants to send you an OTP.

But here's the thing: you don't need a physical SIM card to get that code.

Using a virtual number instead gives you a few solid wins:

  • Privacy – You're not handing over your main number

  • Flexibility – Great if you're making a second account or just testing stuff

  • Speed – OTP shows up instantly in your browser

  • Less spam – No follow-up texts or tracking

  • Saves your real number for more important stuff

Honestly? Virtual numbers are worth it if you're traveling, don't have a SIM, or value a little online privacy.


⚙️ How to Get a PayPal Verification Code (Without Your Real Number)

Alright, here's the step-by-step. Takes like 2 minutes, tops.

  1. Head over toPVAPins.com
    No signup needed just to browse. You'll see the dashboard right away.

  2. Search for "PayPal" in the platform list
    Either scroll or use the search bar easily.

  3. Pick a number (temp or rental)
    You'll see numbers from the US, UK, India, Philippines… pick whatever you like.

  4. Use that number on the PayPal signup/login screen
    Just paste it where PayPal asks for your phone number.

  5. Wait a few seconds, and the OTP pops up in your PVAPins inbox
    Copy, paste, done. You're in.

There are no apps, no shady tools, and no waiting around hoping the code shows up. It just… works.

You’ve got two options:

  • Temporary number – one-time use, quick, and disposable

  • Rental number – longer access, totally private

Your call. I usually rent one if I'm setting up something important, just to be safe.

🙋 Common Questions About Verifying PayPal with a Virtual Number

Do I have to verify my phone on PayPal?
Yup. It's part of their security system, so you'll need it to sign up or log in from a new device.

Can I use the same virtual number twice?
If it's a rental, yes. For temporary numbers, they're usually one-time only.

Will PayPal block my number if it's virtual?
Not if you're using a clean one from PVAPins. Just avoid sketchy public ones.

Is this safe? Like, actually?
Totally. Especially if you go with a rental, you can use yours privately during the rental period.

What if I lose access later?
Use a rental number if you want future access. Or set up email recovery once you're in.
