Get your Australia number
Sign up at PhoneBorn with an email, top up with crypto and choose Australia: a monthly plan ($8.96) if you want to keep the account, or a single-use Tinder OTP number ($1.55) for one code.
Open Tinder
Go to “Log in with phone number” on the welcome screen.
Enter the +61 number
Select Australia (+61) in the country picker and paste the number from your dashboard without a leading 0. Australia mobiles look like 04xx xxx xxx → +61 4xx xxx xxx.
Enter the 6-digit code from your inbox

Day-to-day life in Australia runs on WhatsApp, Facebook and Messenger, yet Tinder remains the app for dating privately without handing out your personal number. A +61 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
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.
Tinder uses phone login, so every reinstall or new device needs the number again.
Australia welcomes hundreds of thousands of international students and working holiday makers each year, and nearly all of them need a local number early on. Employers, landlords and apps like Uber and Afterpay expect a +61 mobile. It is equally handy for anyone running a business or freelancing with Australian clients from overseas.
Local context
Australian prepaid SIMs must be activated with identity verification, such as a passport, before they can be used. A Australia number from PhoneBorn needs no SIM and no ID — only an email.
