Open Microsoft
Go to account creation, or account.microsoft.com → Security → Advanced security options.
Enter the +267 number
Select Botswana (+267) in the country picker and paste the number from your dashboard without a leading 0. Botswana mobiles look like 7x xxx xxx → +267 7x xxx xxx.

Day-to-day life in Botswana runs on WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram, yet Microsoft remains the app for Outlook, Teams or Azure accounts in a local region. A +267 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Diamond sector business: Professionals working with the diamond industry in Gaborone keep a +267 line for local suppliers and colleagues.
Microsoft sends recovery and lock-out codes to the phone on file.
Botswana is one of Africa’s most stable economies, built on diamonds and high-end safari tourism in the Okavango Delta and Chobe. Lodges, guides and suppliers generally coordinate over WhatsApp, so a +267 number makes bookings and business contact simpler. Batswana studying or working abroad also keep a local line for family and banking.
Local context
Botswana requires SIM cards to be registered with an ID or passport before they can be used. A Botswana number from PhoneBorn needs no SIM and no ID — only an email.
