Step by step
How to verify PayPal with an Iran number
One PayPal code on a +98 number costs $1.26 — the 10th cheapest of 15 countries in the Middle East. Full PayPal walkthrough and troubleshooting: PayPal verification guide.
Get your Iran number
Sign up with an email, top up with USDT or USDC and pick Iran: a plan to keep the +98 number, or a single-use PayPal OTP number ($1.26).
Open PayPal
Go to sign-up (“Mobile number”) or Settings → Security → 2-step verification.
Enter the +98 number
Select Iran (+98) in PayPal's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +98 into PayPal.
Enter the PayPal code
PayPal sends a 6-digit code by SMS. SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +98 number; type the code into PayPal to finish.
Tips for Iran numbers
- After +98, Iran mobile numbers begin with 9 — a quick check that you pasted the whole number.
- Only need one code and the country doesn't matter? Syria costs $0.28 for PayPal, against $1.26 here.
- PayPal requires your real identity and residence; the phone number is only one part.
Why use an Iran number for PayPal?
Day-to-day life in Iran runs on Telegram, WhatsApp and Instagram, yet PayPal remains the app for receiving payments with a number that matches your account country. A +98 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Staying in family chats: Iranians living in Canada, Germany or the US often keep a +98 number so relatives can reach them on familiar messaging apps.
PayPal sends login and payment codes for as long as the account exists.
