Open PayPal
Go to sign-up (“Mobile number”) or Settings → Security → 2-step verification.

Enter the PayPal code
PayPal sends a 6-digit code by SMS. SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +39 number; type the code into PayPal to finish.
Tips for Italy numbers
- After +39, Italy mobile numbers begin with 3 — a quick check that you pasted the whole number.
- Only need one code and the country doesn't matter? Ukraine costs $0.35 for PayPal, against $1.58 here.
- PayPal requires your real identity and residence; the phone number is only one part.
Why use an Italy number for PayPal?
Day-to-day life in Italy runs on WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook, yet PayPal remains the app for receiving payments with a number that matches your account country. A +39 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
