Tips for Gambia numbers
- Only need one code and the country doesn't matter? Lesotho costs $0.28 for PayPal, against $1.16 here.
- PayPal requires your real identity and residence; the phone number is only one part.
Why use a Gambia number for PayPal?
Day-to-day life in Gambia runs on WhatsApp, Facebook and TikTok, yet PayPal remains the app for receiving payments with a number that matches your account country. A +220 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Remittances and family: Gambians in the UK, Spain and the US keep a +220 number so relatives can reach them and send updates on WhatsApp.
PayPal sends login and payment codes for as long as the account exists.
