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 LinkedIn OTP number ($1.09).
Open LinkedIn
Go to Settings → Sign in & security → Phone numbers, or the prompt during sign-up.
Enter the +852 number
Select Hong Kong (+852) in LinkedIn's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +852 into LinkedIn.
Enter the LinkedIn code
LinkedIn sends a 6-digit code by SMS. SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +852 number; type the code into LinkedIn to finish.

Day-to-day life in Hong Kong runs on WhatsApp, WeChat and Instagram, yet LinkedIn remains the app for a professional profile for a job search or clients in the country. 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.
LinkedIn uses the number for sign-in checks and account restrictions long after sign-up.
