Open Coinbase
Go to the phone step during sign-up or Settings → Security.
Enter the +98 number
Select Iran (+98) in Coinbase's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +98 into Coinbase.
Enter the Coinbase code
Coinbase sends a numeric SMS code by SMS. SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +98 number; type the code into Coinbase to finish.

Day-to-day life in Iran runs on Telegram, WhatsApp and Instagram, yet Coinbase remains the app for a stable 2FA number for a crypto account. A +98 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Accessing local services: Domestic platforms such as Snapp, Digikala and Divar verify accounts by SMS to an Iranian mobile number.
Coinbase sends sign-in and recovery codes to the number on file.
