Step by step
Google asks for your number at the “Confirm you’re not a robot” / phone step during account creation, or Security → 2-Step Verification. Expect a 6-digit code (sent as G-xxxxxx); it can arrive by SMS or voice call.
Get your Maldives number
Sign up at PhoneBorn with an email, top up with crypto and choose Maldives: a monthly plan ($3.71) if you want to keep the account, or a single-use Google OTP number ($0.27) for one code.
Open Google
Go to the “Confirm you’re not a robot” / phone step during account creation, or Security → 2-Step Verification.
Enter the +960 number
Select Maldives (+960) in the country picker and paste the number from your dashboard without a leading 0. Maldives mobiles look like 7xx xxxx → +960 7xx xxxx.
Follow the prompt
Choose “Text message” and wait for the G-xxxxxx code in your inbox.
Enter the six digits
Enter the six digits. For 2-Step Verification, keep the number as a backup option.
Follow the prompt
Add a recovery email as well so you have two ways back in.
Day-to-day life in Maldives runs on Viber, WhatsApp and Facebook, yet Google remains the app for a Gmail, YouTube or Google Ads account that matches the country you target. A +960 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Resort and island workers: Many resort staff come from Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka, and a Maldivian number helps them stay reachable by employers and colleagues.
Google uses the number for account recovery and sign-in challenges long after sign-up.
Tourism is the heart of the Maldivian economy, and resorts, guesthouses and speedboat operators all coordinate over Viber and WhatsApp. With a large foreign workforce spread across remote islands, a local +960 number is often the easiest way to stay in touch.
