Sign up with an email, top up with USDT or USDC and pick Gambia: a plan to keep the +220 number, or a single-use WhatsApp OTP number ($0.74).
Open WhatsApp
Go to the first screen after installing WhatsApp (or WhatsApp Business) — “Enter your phone number”.
Enter the +220 number
Select Gambia (+220) in WhatsApp's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +220 into WhatsApp.

WhatsApp sends a 6-digit code by SMS, or a voice call if the SMS does not arrive. SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +220 number; type the code into WhatsApp to finish.
Tips for Gambia numbers
- Only need one code and the country doesn't matter? Lesotho costs $0.18 for WhatsApp, against $0.74 here.
- Turn on two-step verification (Settings → Account) so nobody can re-register your number.
Why use a Gambia number for WhatsApp?
WhatsApp is the first app most people in Gambia open every day, so a +220 number is what contacts, shops and services there expect to see on your profile.
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.
WhatsApp re-verifies whenever you move to a new phone, reinstall or restore a backup, so a number you keep is the only way to stay in control of the account.
