setting up a paypal account

Postby daring dragoon » September 24th, 2022, 9:17 pm

I am trying to setup a paypal to pay for everything outside of TT instead of using the CC but paypal not sending me the text to my phone to setup. getting an error that they cannot send new code to try later. I tried with VPN off and on buy same issue. anyone setup paypal recently or having issues or is there some alternative to paypal?

Are you setting your country to Trinidad & Tobago?

Send a screenshot of the error message or copy/paste the exact text of the error message

your phone provider blocking the texts from that number. Likely their system registering it as spam.
Does it have a call option, where the robot calls your phone and speaks out the verification code?

Another method of verification Paypal uses is by charging a small amount like $5 to your local credit card account applied with a 3 or 4 digit code, and within 24 hours you call VISA or check your own online banking statement and find that code to verify that your banking account is real. The money gets charged back within 30 days.

And lastly, after you're verified, install an authenticator app on your phone and turn on 2FA on your Paypal account, then add the account to the authenticator app to generate unique one time codes every time you log in.

Sometimes when you have ported from bmobile to Digicel, these kinds of validation texts don’t come through.
I had this experience with Amazon and PayPal
What I did as a short term work around was to use my wife’s number (which was not ported) and once the set up was successful, I edited my profile and replaced her number with mine.

I had this problem when I first ported ^
Called customer service and it was fixed in a couple hours.

Sounds like OP have some bigger issue because I have a US PayPal with my TT phone number and I get texts normal.

How long does it take for PayPal payments to hit credit card ? I have a stash in there that I never moved

Edit - FCB credit card if it matters
