Does a virtual number work for PayPal?

In most countries, yes. The success rate on the order screen shows where PayPal codes arrived over the last hour; picking a country with a high rate is the surest way.

How many credits is a PayPal number?

It depends on the country; right now it starts at 16 credits. You see the exact price before paying.

What if the PayPal code never arrives?

If no SMS comes in time, the order closes and your credits go back to your balance automatically.

Can I sign in to PayPal with the same number later?

No. The number is released after the order; add your own number or email to the account for future sign-ins.

Does PayPal see my real number?

No. PayPal only sees the number we give you; yours is never entered anywhere.

Do I need to install an app?

No. The number and the code both show up in your browser, in the TempSMSCode panel.

Why PayPal asks for a phone number

Payment services ask for a number for security and fraud checks. If you plan to use such an account for a long time, switching to your own number after setup is the safer choice.

Good to know

A number is for one verification. If PayPal sends a new code to it later, you will not see it.
If you will use the account for a long time, add your own contact details in the PayPal settings after setup.
Following the PayPal rules is up to you; the number only keeps your own number private.
