Open Coinbase
Go to the phone step during sign-up or Settings → Security.
Enter the +54 number
Select Argentina (+54) in Coinbase's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +54 into Coinbase.

Day-to-day life in Argentina runs on WhatsApp, Instagram and Mercado Libre, yet Coinbase remains the app for a stable 2FA number for a crypto account. A +54 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Mercado Libre buying and selling: Argentine accounts on Mercado Libre and Mercado Pago are tied to a local number, which sellers and buyers use for verification and delivery coordination.
Coinbase sends sign-in and recovery codes to the number on file.
