Step by step
Amazon asks for your number at “Create account” (mobile number field) or Login & security → Mobile number. Expect a 6-digit one-time password; it can arrive by SMS.
Get your India number
Sign up at PhoneBorn with an email, top up with crypto and choose India: a monthly plan ($3.36) if you want to keep the account, or a single-use Amazon OTP number ($0.24) for one code.
Open Amazon
Go to “Create account” (mobile number field) or Login & security → Mobile number.
Enter the +91 number
Select India (+91) in the country picker and paste the number from your dashboard without a leading 0. India mobiles look like 98xxx xxxxx → +91 98xxx xxxxx.
Enter the 6-digit OTP from your inbox

Day-to-day life in India runs on WhatsApp, Instagram and YouTube, yet Amazon remains the app for a local marketplace account for buying or selling. A +91 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
NRIs keeping ties at home: Indians living in the Gulf, the US, the UK and Canada keep a +91 number for family WhatsApp groups and for services that still send codes to Indian mobiles.
Amazon uses the number for two-step verification, seller checks and delivery contact.
Almost every Indian service, from UPI payment apps to food delivery, confirms users with a one-time code sent to a +91 mobile. That makes an Indian number valuable for the huge overseas diaspora and for anyone running a team or business in the country.
Local context
Buying a SIM in India requires a passport, visa and photograph, and foreigners usually also need a local address or reference. A India number from PhoneBorn needs no SIM and no ID — only an email.
