Get your Australia number
Sign up with an email, top up with USDT or USDC and pick Australia: a plan to keep the +61 number, or a single-use Coinbase OTP number ($2.09).
Open Coinbase
Go to the phone step during sign-up or Settings → Security.
Enter the +61 number
Select Australia (+61) in Coinbase's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +61 into Coinbase.
Enter the Coinbase code
Coinbase sends a numeric SMS code by SMS. SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +61 number; type the code into Coinbase to finish.

Selling on local marketplaces: Sellers on Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace in Australia are far more likely to get replies from buyers when listing a local number.
Coinbase sends sign-in and recovery codes to the number on file.
