Want to use PayPal Without a Phone Number? Learn how to verify PayPal using a virtual number—no SIM card, no delays, and 100% safe with PVAPins.
Learn How Get a Number NowTrying 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.
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.
Alright, here's the step-by-step. Takes like 2 minutes, tops.
Head over to PVAPins.com
No signup needed just to browse. You'll see the dashboard right away.
Search for "PayPal" in the platform list
Either scroll or use the search bar easily.
Pick a number (temp or rental)
You'll see numbers from the US, UK, India, Philippines… pick whatever you like.
Use that number on the PayPal signup/login screen
Just paste it where PayPal asks for your phone number.
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.
PayPal's just the start.
If you're juggling accounts or testing stuff across platforms, PVAPins has you covered for almost all the big ones:
✅ WhatsApp
✅ Telegram
✅ Gmail
✅ Discord
✅ Instagram
✅ Facebook
✅ TikTok
This is super handy if you're managing multiple logins or just tired of running into the same "enter your phone number" wall everywhere.
Look, there are a bunch of sites out there offering virtual numbers. But here's why I (and a lot of other folks) stick with PVAPins:
Global coverage – 200+ countries. You'll always find something.
Fast SMS delivery – You get that OTP instantly. No delays.
Real numbers that work – No sketchy blocked ones that PayPal rejects.
Fair prices – Whether you need a number for 2 minutes or 2 days.
Tons of payment options – Crypto, Binance Pay, GCash, Payeer, Skrill… take your pick.
It's just reliable. And when you're trying to beat the PayPal wall, that matters.
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.
Alright, that's the whole playbook.
If you're done with PayPal's phone number drama, this is the easiest way to resolve it.
No SIM card, no weird hacks, just a clean virtual number and you're good.
