Get your Hong Kong number
Sign up with an email, top up with USDT or USDC and pick Hong Kong: a plan to keep the +852 number, or a single-use Amazon OTP number ($1.18).
Open Amazon
Go to “Create account” (mobile number field) or Login & security → Mobile number.
Enter the +852 number
Select Hong Kong (+852) in Amazon's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +852 into Amazon.
Enter the Amazon code
Amazon sends a 6-digit one-time password by SMS. SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +852 number; type the code into Amazon to finish.

Day-to-day life in Hong Kong runs on WhatsApp, WeChat and Instagram, yet Amazon remains the app for a local marketplace account for buying or selling. A +852 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Hong Kongers overseas: Former residents now living in the UK, Canada or Taiwan keep a Hong Kong number for bank verification and family chat groups.
Amazon uses the number for two-step verification, seller checks and delivery contact.
