Get your Cape Verde number
Sign up with an email, top up with USDT or USDC and pick Cape Verde: a plan to keep the +238 number, or a single-use Instagram OTP number ($0.76).
Open Instagram
Go to “Sign up with mobile number” on the Instagram app, or Settings → Accounts Center → Personal details.
Enter the +238 number
Select Cape Verde (+238) in Instagram's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +238 into Instagram.
Enter the Instagram code
Instagram sends a 6-digit code by SMS. SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +238 number; type the code into Instagram to finish.
Tips for Cape Verde numbers
- After +238, Cape Verde mobile numbers begin with 5, 9 — a quick check that you pasted the whole number.
- Only need one code and the country doesn't matter? Lesotho costs $0.16 for Instagram, against $0.76 here.
- Use an authenticator app for 2FA and keep the number for recovery.
Why use a Cape Verde number for Instagram?
Instagram is one of the most used apps in Cape Verde, alongside WhatsApp and Facebook. A local +238 number makes creator and shop accounts aimed at local followers look native rather than foreign.
Large diaspora: More Cape Verdeans live abroad than at home, notably in the US, Portugal and the Netherlands, and many keep a +238 number for family.
Instagram often asks new accounts to confirm the phone number again after a few days of activity.
