Get your Malawi number
Sign up with an email, top up with USDT or USDC and pick Malawi: a plan to keep the +265 number, or a single-use LinkedIn OTP number ($0.22).
Open LinkedIn
Go to Settings → Sign in & security → Phone numbers, or the prompt during sign-up.
Enter the +265 number
Select Malawi (+265) in LinkedIn's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +265 into LinkedIn.
Enter the LinkedIn code
LinkedIn sends a 6-digit code by SMS. SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +265 number; type the code into LinkedIn to finish.
Tips for Malawi numbers
- After +265, Malawi mobile numbers begin with 8, 9 — a quick check that you pasted the whole number.
- Only need one code and the country doesn't matter? Lesotho costs $0.15 for LinkedIn, against $0.22 here.

Why use a Malawi number for LinkedIn?
Day-to-day life in Malawi 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 +265 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Lake Malawi travel: Lodges at Cape Maclear and Nkhata Bay take bookings and arrange boat trips by phone and WhatsApp.
LinkedIn uses the number for sign-in checks and account restrictions long after sign-up.
