Get your India number
Sign up with an email, top up with USDT or USDC and pick India: a plan to keep the +91 number, or a single-use Uber OTP number ($0.25).
Open Uber
Go to the first screen of the Uber app (“Enter your mobile number”).
Enter the +91 number
Select India (+91) in Uber's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +91 into Uber.
Enter the Uber code
Uber sends a 4-digit code by SMS (WhatsApp in some markets). SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +91 number; type the code into Uber to finish.

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.
Uber logs you in by SMS and drivers contact you on the number during every trip.
