Can I verify PayPal with a virtual number?

Yes — buy a temporary PayPal number on OTPWave, receive the SMS code on screen, and complete verification. Availability depends on live provider stock and PayPal's own rules; the buy screen shows real-time availability and each operator's delivery rate, and you're refunded automatically if a code never arrives.

How much does a PayPal number cost?

Pricing is pay-as-you-go and shown before you buy — it varies by country and operator. There's no subscription, and you only pay for numbers that actually deliver the code.

Does PayPal accept virtual numbers?

Many financial and crypto services deliberately block virtual numbers for security and compliance, while some accept them at signup. OTPWave can't guarantee PayPal will accept one — but since you're refunded automatically if the code never arrives, there's no cost to trying.

Which country should I choose for PayPal?

Pick based on availability and price — the buy screen lists every country with live stock and each operator's delivery rate for PayPal. If one country is out of stock or has a low rate, another usually works.
