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 LinkedIn OTP number ($1.18).
Open LinkedIn
Go to Settings → Sign in & security → Phone numbers, or the prompt during sign-up.
Enter the +61 number
Select Australia (+61) in LinkedIn's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +61 into LinkedIn.
Enter the LinkedIn code
LinkedIn sends a 6-digit code by SMS. SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +61 number; type the code into LinkedIn to finish.

Day-to-day life in Australia runs on WhatsApp, Facebook and Messenger, yet LinkedIn remains the app for a professional profile for a job search or clients in the country. A +61 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
International students: Students heading to universities in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane use a +61 number for enrolment, rentals and part-time job sign-ups.
LinkedIn uses the number for sign-in checks and account restrictions long after sign-up.
