Get your Ethiopia number
Sign up with an email, top up with USDT or USDC and pick Ethiopia: a plan to keep the +251 number, or a single-use Coinbase OTP number ($1.09).
Open Coinbase
Go to the phone step during sign-up or Settings → Security.
Enter the +251 number
Select Ethiopia (+251) in Coinbase's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +251 into Coinbase.
Enter the Coinbase code
Coinbase sends a numeric SMS code by SMS. SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +251 number; type the code into Coinbase to finish.
Tips for Ethiopia numbers
- After +251, Ethiopia mobile numbers begin with 7, 9 — a quick check that you pasted the whole number.
- Only need one code and the country doesn't matter? Lesotho costs $0.26 for Coinbase, against $1.09 here.
- Coinbase requires identity verification; the phone number does not replace it.
Why use an Ethiopia number for Coinbase?
Day-to-day life in Ethiopia runs on Telegram, Telebirr and Facebook, yet Coinbase remains the app for a stable 2FA number for a crypto account. A +251 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
