Open PayPal
Go to sign-up (“Mobile number”) or Settings → Security → 2-step verification.
Enter the +1 number
Select Dominican Republic (+1) in the country picker and paste the number from your dashboard without a leading 0. Dominican Republic mobiles look like (809) xxx-xxxx → +1 809 xxx xxxx (also 829 and 849).

Day-to-day life in Dominican Republic runs on WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook, yet PayPal remains the app for receiving payments with a number that matches your account country. A +1 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.

The Dominican Republic is the most visited country in the Caribbean, and nearly every hotel, tour operator and colmado runs its customer contact through WhatsApp. More than two million Dominicans live abroad, mostly in the US and Spain, and keep close ties with home. An 809, 829 or 849 number fits right into that everyday communication.
Local context
The Dominican Republic uses the +1 code with area codes 809, 829 and 849, so numbers look similar to US numbers even though calls are international. A Dominican Republic number from PhoneBorn needs no SIM and no ID — only an email.
