Should I change my Mobile Number in PayMaya if I lost the SIM/phone registered to my account?
If you lost the phone or SIM registered to your PayMaya account, you have the option to change your registered mobile number. But if you prefer to use the same prepaid mobile number, you can still do so by calling your service provider to request a new SIM card with your old mobile number. Afterward, download the PayMaya app and log in to your account using your old mobile number and password. If an OTP is required, you’ll receive one from your registered mobile number.
