Step by step
WhatsApp asks for your number at the first screen after installing WhatsApp (or WhatsApp Business) — “Enter your phone number”. Expect a 6-digit code; it can arrive by SMS, or a voice call if the SMS does not arrive.
Get your Algeria number
Sign up at PhoneBorn with an email, top up with crypto and choose Algeria: a monthly plan ($4.09) if you want to keep the account, or a single-use WhatsApp OTP number ($0.63) for one code.
Open WhatsApp
Go to the first screen after installing WhatsApp (or WhatsApp Business) — “Enter your phone number”.
Enter the +213 number
Select Algeria (+213) in the country picker and paste the number from your dashboard without a leading 0. Algeria mobiles look like 05xx xx xx xx → +213 5xx xx xx xx.
Confirm the number and wait for the 6-digit SMS
Confirm the number and wait for the 6-digit SMS — it appears in your PhoneBorn inbox within seconds.
If no SMS arrives after the timer runs out
If no SMS arrives after the timer runs out, choose “Call me”: plans include unlimited incoming calls, so the voice code reaches you too.
Enter the code
Enter the code, set your name and photo, and turn on two-step verification with a PIN.
WhatsApp is one of the most used apps in Algeria, alongside Facebook and Messenger. A local +213 number makes reaching customers, family and a business audience in the country look native rather than foreign.
Algerians in France: The large Algerian community in France keeps a +213 number so family in Algiers, Oran and Constantine can reach them on Viber or WhatsApp.
WhatsApp re-verifies whenever you move to a new phone, reinstall or restore a backup, so a number you keep is the only way to stay in control of the account.
Algeria is Africa’s largest country by area and a major gas exporter, with a strong link to France through one of Europe’s biggest diaspora communities. Facebook, Messenger and Viber dominate everyday communication, often more than email. A +213 number lets emigrants, energy workers and visitors stay in contact with people across the country.
Local context
Algerian SIM cards must be registered with an ID or passport at the point of sale. A Algeria number from PhoneBorn needs no SIM and no ID — only an email.
