How to verify Uber with a Cape Verde number

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 Uber OTP number ($0.82).
Open Uber
Go to the first screen of the Uber app (“Enter your mobile number”).
Enter the +238 number
Select Cape Verde (+238) in Uber's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +238 into Uber.
Enter the Uber code
Uber sends a 4-digit code by SMS (WhatsApp in some markets). SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +238 number; type the code into Uber 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 $0.17 for Uber, against $0.82 here.
- A local number looks familiar to drivers and couriers who call you.
Why use a Cape Verde number for Uber?
Day-to-day life in Cape Verde runs on WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram, yet Uber remains the app for rides and deliveries with a local number drivers can reach. A +238 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
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.
Uber logs you in by SMS and drivers contact you on the number during every trip.
