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 Microsoft OTP number ($0.66).
Open Microsoft
Go to account creation, or account.microsoft.com → Security → Advanced security options.
Enter the +238 number
Select Cape Verde (+238) in Microsoft's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +238 into Microsoft.
Enter the Microsoft code
Microsoft sends a short numeric security code by SMS or voice call. SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +238 number; type the code into Microsoft 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 $0.13 for Microsoft, against $0.66 here.
- Add the number as a recovery method, not just for sign-up.
Why use a Cape Verde number for Microsoft?
Day-to-day life in Cape Verde runs on WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram, yet Microsoft remains the app for Outlook, Teams or Azure accounts in a local region. A +238 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Remote work from the islands: Digital nomads staying in Mindelo or Praia use a local number for landlords and local services.
Microsoft sends recovery and lock-out codes to the phone on file.
