Step by step
Signal asks for your number at the registration screen right after installing Signal. Expect a 6-digit code; it can arrive by SMS or voice call.
Get your Austria number
Sign up at PhoneBorn with an email, top up with crypto and choose Austria: a monthly plan ($7.56) if you want to keep the account, or a single-use Signal OTP number ($1.00) for one code.
Open Signal
Go to the registration screen right after installing Signal.
Enter the +43 number
Select Austria (+43) in the country picker and paste the number from your dashboard without a leading 0. Austria mobiles look like 06xx xxxxxxx → +43 6xx xxxxxxx (length varies by operator).
Enter the 6-digit SMS code
Enter the 6-digit SMS code — or choose “Call me” and take the code by voice (incoming calls are unlimited on every plan).

Day-to-day life in Austria runs on WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook, yet Signal remains the app for private conversations without exposing your personal number. A +43 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Cross-border commuters: People working in Austria while living in Germany, Slovakia or Hungary use an Austrian number for employers and local authorities.
Signal identities are tied to the number; losing it means losing the registration.
Austria’s mobile numbers have a variable length, a quirk that sets them apart from most of Europe. Vienna hosts UN agencies, OPEC and a large international student body, while the Alps draw millions of winter visitors each year. With prepaid SIMs requiring ID since 2019, many newcomers look for an Austrian number they can set up without visiting a shop.
Local context
Since 2019 Austria requires ID verification to activate any prepaid SIM, so short-term visitors can’t buy one anonymously. A Austria number from PhoneBorn needs no SIM and no ID — only an email.
