Can I top up my phone using Paypal ?

Hi @taken2
No, this isn't possible. All the methods by which a PAYG phone can be topped up are explained on this EE help page

PayPal themselves appear to be selling an EE top-up voucher.
https://www.paypal.com/uk/gifts/brands/EE
I am about to try it...
(Ah, I can see via my PayPal Android app that there is a linkup between PayPal and Xoom.)
[Later...]
Well, it was a bit of a faff.
I had to log in to PayPal (obviously) in Firefox on my PC,
but then I had to prove I was me by opening my Android PayPal app.
There was a note saying that it might take a while as this was the first time I'd bought an e-voucher from PayPal.
Interestingly, I received the receipt for the purchase in my email at 12.09
and I received the actual voucher at 16.09.
I was topping up a dumbphone into which I had already drafted a text, so I couldn't
follow the instruction "To redeem text VO and 16 digit code to 150".
Instead, I phoned 150 and followed the instructions to the point where I could input the 16 digit code.
There was a slightly unnerving silence until the system said it had been accepted.
Not something to do at the last minute!

@X-Ray-Spex : No reason for PayPal not to sell whatever they like, just like any other seller. Doesn't make EE any more liable to accept PayPal as a method of payment.
