Get your Ivory Coast number
Sign up at PhoneBorn with an email, top up with crypto and choose Ivory Coast: a monthly plan ($4.16) if you want to keep the account, or a single-use LinkedIn OTP number ($0.55) for one code.
Open LinkedIn
Go to Settings → Sign in & security → Phone numbers, or the prompt during sign-up.
Enter the +225 number
Select Ivory Coast (+225) in the country picker and paste the number from your dashboard without a leading 0. Ivory Coast mobiles look like 07 xx xx xx xx → +225 07 xx xx xx xx.

Day-to-day life in Ivory Coast runs on WhatsApp, Facebook and TikTok, yet LinkedIn remains the app for a professional profile for a job search or clients in the country. A +225 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Cocoa and agribusiness: Buyers and exporters in the world’s largest cocoa-producing country keep a +225 line for cooperatives and transporters.
LinkedIn uses the number for sign-in checks and account restrictions long after sign-up.
Abidjan is the commercial hub of francophone West Africa, and Côte d’Ivoire is the world’s leading cocoa producer. Business here runs on WhatsApp and mobile wallets like Orange Money and Wave, so a +225 number is often the first thing a new arrival needs. Since the 2021 switch to 10-digit numbers, a correctly formatted local line also avoids confusion with older contacts.
Local context
Ivorian SIM cards must be registered with an ID or passport, and numbers have used 10 digits since 2021. A Ivory Coast number from PhoneBorn needs no SIM and no ID — only an email.
