Sometimes you might get the prompt to confirm your phone number while trying to send out money on your PayPal account, this prompt always pops up if you logged into your PayPal account on a different browser and tried to send out payment, the phone number verification shouldn’t have been an issue if you followed our guide on how to open a PayPal account that sends and receive payment in different Africa countries, because you will do so with your real phone number.

The problem here is that sometimes paypal will not make available your registered country’s code instead you will be asked to provide the PayPal’s account country’s phone number, which you obviously don’t have, making the verification impossible, thus hindering your ability to send out payment at the moment, well here are the possible solutions to that.

Solution To “Confirm Your Number” Issue while Sending out payment on a PayPal account

1. Readd your Phone number as Primary phone on your PayPal settings:

If you tried sending payment from your PayPal account and came across the phone number confirmation issue, you should cancel the payment, then go to your account settings and readd your phone number, this time making it your primary phone number,

So you will now have your phone number twice in your account, one as primary, the other as work

Doing this in some cases solves the “confirm phone number issues” on PayPal.

2 ~Re-login to Your Paypal account:

Logging out of your paypal account and logging in with the default browser that you frequently use to access your account most times solves this issue, since this is a measure by paypal to secure your account from unauthorized access, logging in with a recognized browser will solve the problem instantly.

3~ Request Invoice from your Customer:

If any of the solutions above did not help, you might resort to bypassing the phone number verification by asking your customer to send you a paypal invoice billing you with the amount you wish to send to him.

To do so, the customer will have to click on “create invoice” below the PayPal balance section on the PayPal homepage or via the payment page then add your email, add the amount he wants you to pay(untick the shipment option) and then send it, he can as well copy the invoice link and forward it to you directly.

With the invoice you can send the funds to your friend or customer without been asked to confirm your phone number, note, however that invoices can only be used to make GNS payments, so if you proposed making FNF(personal payment) the invoice bypass method will not work for that.

That’s all on how to bypass the phone number verification issue on paypal.
