Hi! I'm trying to create a new PayPal account for some online freelance work, but PayPal keeps asking for a U.S. phone number for SMS verification. I don’t have a U.S. SIM and don’t want to go through that whole process. Is there a secure way to get a temporary US number for verification purposes?
Yes, I had to deal with the same issue recently. I found a great solution through Grizzly SMS. They provide a temporary US number for verification that works with PayPal and tons of other platforms. You just pick “USA” as the country and “PayPal” as the service — it’s instant. You pay a small fee and receive the verification SMS right in your dashboard. It’s all online and 100% anonymous.
Perfect — got verified with no hassle. Thanks so much!
