Get your Malta number
Sign up with an email, top up with USDT or USDC and pick Malta: a plan to keep the +356 number, or a single-use Instagram OTP number ($0.37).
Open Instagram
Go to “Sign up with mobile number” on the Instagram app, or Settings → Accounts Center → Personal details.
Enter the +356 number
Select Malta (+356) in Instagram's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +356 into Instagram.
Enter the Instagram code
Instagram sends a 6-digit code by SMS. SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +356 number; type the code into Instagram to finish.
Tips for Malta numbers
- After +356, Malta mobile numbers begin with 7, 9 — a quick check that you pasted the whole number.
- Only need one code and the country doesn't matter? Ukraine costs $0.20 for Instagram, against $0.37 here.
- Use an authenticator app for 2FA and keep the number for recovery.
Why use a Malta number for Instagram?
Instagram is one of the most used apps in Malta, alongside WhatsApp and Facebook. A local +356 number makes creator and shop accounts aimed at local followers look native rather than foreign.
Expats and foreign workers: Foreign residents now make up a large part of Malta’s workforce, and a +356 number helps with landlords, Bolt rides and local services.
Instagram often asks new accounts to confirm the phone number again after a few days of activity.
