Get your Cuba number

Open PayPal
Go to sign-up (“Mobile number”) or Settings → Security → 2-step verification.
Enter the +53 number
Select Cuba (+53) in PayPal's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +53 into PayPal.
Enter the PayPal code
PayPal sends a 6-digit code by SMS. SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +53 number; type the code into PayPal to finish.
Tips for Cuba numbers
- After +53, Cuba mobile numbers begin with 5 — a quick check that you pasted the whole number.
- Only need one code and the country doesn't matter? Barbados costs $0.32 for PayPal, against $1.23 here.
- PayPal requires your real identity and residence; the phone number is only one part.
Why use a Cuba number for PayPal?
Day-to-day life in Cuba runs on WhatsApp, Facebook and Messenger, yet PayPal remains the app for receiving payments with a number that matches your account country. A +53 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Tourism and casas particulares: Visitors staying in private guesthouses in Havana, Trinidad or Viñales coordinate arrivals and taxis with hosts over WhatsApp.
PayPal sends login and payment codes for as long as the account exists.
