Did you call paypal and they told you directly or is it just an educated guess from other factors?
In the past I've used prepaid phones without issue and now I'm having this same problem. No error messages or anything, text just doesn't come.
The thing I am most curious about is how they're getting their information. Even prepaid phones that were created in the same name don't work. They must either block all prepaid phones outright or they're doing a public records check and seeing if the number is associated with the name. Obviously a newly created prepaid phone wouldn't show up on a public records check for a while, but neither would a newly created contract phone.
I doubt paypal has direct access to the phone companies account records, so they have to be using public records, in my opinion. How one could go about getting a phone number associated with a name on public records then becomes the problem.
