Default Paypal asking me to reverify phone number?

When logging in it asks me to verify the phone number (verified it once -paid someone as a service). In the past it let me just click "I'll do it next time", but now it doesn't let me pass it.

(1) paypal said it's because i'm logging in from a new location (I'm not, maybe the IP reset). Should it just go away on it's own after a few days?

(2) I don't have access to the old phone number, but it lets me add a new phone number and google voice and the free apps it doesn't let me add. Will any pre-paid number work? (I'm in the US and can get a cheap $5/mo number).

(3) I saw a post saying they verify the number with caller ID to see if it matches the name on the paypal...is this true?

(4) When calling paypal they were asking data base questions "which address did you live in the past". It's a stealth account but maybe the stealth info sorta matches someone else with that name. Should I be worried?

Accounts about a year old, no issues.
