Virtual number for PayPal
PayPal asks for a phone at sign-up and again for two-step login. A number from our catalog receives that SMS in your dashboard; for PayPal we recommend the permanent format on a real mobile line.
PayPal phone verification: what to know
PayPal is one of the strict services: many VoIP ranges are refused at the phone step. Our permanent numbers are physical mobile lines (see the non-VoIP page), which is exactly the kind PayPal expects.

Buy a number for PayPal verification: the essentials
A virtual number for PayPal verification does one thing PayPal insists on: it receives the SMS code that confirms the phone on the account. PayPal checks the phone at sign-up, at two-step login and often again when a payment looks unusual, so the number has to be reachable for the whole life of the account. That is why a temporary number for PayPal is a poor fit and a permanent number for PayPal is the honest recommendation: it stays in your dashboard, receives every code and is renewed in one click.
Buyers ask for a non-VoIP number for PayPal for a reason: PayPal filters application-based ranges and rejects them at the phone screen. The permanent numbers in our catalog are mobile lines on physical SIMs, the type PayPal accepts. Popular directions are the USA and the United Kingdom for accounts opened there, Germany for the EU, and Australia. Buying a US number for PayPal verification here takes minutes: pick the country, pay, read the code in the dashboard.
PayPal numbers in practice
The most common PayPal scenario is a second account for a shop or a freelance profile that should not sit on a personal phone. Numbers at BasolinoVoIP are issued to the dashboard right after payment. The number is bought once, entered into PayPal, and from then on every two-step code arrives in the dashboard. Because PayPal keeps re-checking the phone, the renewal matters: keep the balance topped up and the account never loses its number.
The second scenario is a PayPal account in another country: a US or UK number for a client-facing profile. PayPal expects the phone to match the account region, so the country page of the number is the right starting point. Nearby in the catalog: numbers for Signal and Google; the format details are on the non-VoIP page.

The live answer is on this page: one-time codes from $2.08, permanent numbers from $18 per month. Prices follow the catalog.
Can I keep my personal SIM out of PayPal completely?

Is buying a number for PayPal legal?
Yes. Renting a virtual number is a regular telecom service; you register the account yourself and use it within the rules of PayPal and local law.
One-time or permanent for PayPal: which is cheaper?
One-time is cheaper for a single code. Permanent costs more but keeps receiving codes; the page above says which one PayPal actually needs.
Can I change the country of my PayPal number later?
Yes. Buy a number of another country and change the phone in the PayPal settings; the code for the change arrives in the dashboard.
Can I register PayPal from a computer with this number?
Yes. The number and the code are in your browser dashboard; PayPal can be opened on any device.
How fast is a number for PayPal issued?
Right after payment, automatically. The passport at the top shows live stock, so there is no waiting list.
Does PayPal accept virtual numbers at all?
PayPal accepts mobile numbers and rejects many VoIP ranges. Our permanent numbers are physical mobile lines, which is the type PayPal is looking for; a one-time number is not recommended for PayPal.
Why not a one-time number for PayPal?
Because PayPal asks for the phone again and again: two-step login, unusual payments, recovery. A one-time number goes back to the pool after the first code, and the next check fails. Take the permanent format.
Which country should a PayPal number be from?
The country of the PayPal account. A US account should carry a +1 number, a UK account a +44 one; the country pages show live stock for each.
PayPal did not accept the number. What now?
Write to support from the dashboard with the number and a screenshot of the PayPal message. Delivery problems are handled under the refund policy; a rejected range is replaced.
