I want to call paypal, should I use my old number?
 

I want to call payal to ask about what is going on and if there is any way I can resolve this..

I have received the message YOU CAN'T USE PAYPAL ANYMORE.

The number linked to the account is a temp number i got just for the paypal, I am unsure if they have my actual number but suspect they do.

Should I call on that or will they suspect?

I can not call on temp one because it's an old thing and does not have any sort of apps or anything. (free 0845 numbers).

You can use any phone number

Yes but the olde number I would use they might have that on file as being used for a paypal before?

No, absolutely wrong! You have to use a phone number that has never been used on other accounts before otherwise they will be linked... and this is not stealth method.

Agreed with @ilcarletto. I have called paypal with numerous accounts. I use skype.
Yes they like to see you call from original number but if yours is burnt no go.
In fact remove that old number, thats maybe why problems.

then call from skype. Been doing it for years.

Do you have to add money to skype or is it a free feature?

Hi, can I call paypal for free from skype?

Can not seem to find a way to do it?

I have used my old number that I had on previous limited PayPal account multiple times nothing happened but then again I would not recommend it and wouldn't do it if you care about the account.

Dialing *67 wont work either as they can still see your number.


Bottom line NO don't use an old number.
