Inactive Sim Farce

[donkeykong2012]

I have just been on the phone to T-Mobile.

I have not logged in to a few Paypal Accounts for a while and I lock them with a Mobile Security key. However some of the Sim Cards have become inactive as they have not been used for 4-6 months.

I will need to purchase new sims, just a heads up to remember to log onto accounts at reasonable intervals.

explain mobile security key?

You can setup a Mobile phone lock on Paypal accounts as an extra layer of security.

When you enter a password to log on, you are then presented with a screen in which a code is sent to your Mobile Phone and you have to enter this to then access your Paypal Account.

My account was hacked sometime ago and I like this feature. The only problem is, if you don't use the mobile number for sometime it becomes inoperable, and the only way to access your account is through security questions.

The mobile version is free, however there is another option as well.

Here is a link explaining it a little further on the US site.
