Get your Mauritania number
Sign up with an email, top up with USDT or USDC and pick Mauritania: a plan to keep the +222 number, or a single-use WhatsApp OTP number ($0.18).
Open WhatsApp
Go to the first screen after installing WhatsApp (or WhatsApp Business) — “Enter your phone number”.
Enter the +222 number
Select Mauritania (+222) in WhatsApp's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +222 into WhatsApp.
Enter the WhatsApp code
WhatsApp sends a 6-digit code by SMS, or a voice call if the SMS does not arrive. SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +222 number; type the code into WhatsApp to finish.
Tips for Mauritania numbers
- After +222, Mauritania mobile numbers begin with 2, 3, 4 — a quick check that you pasted the whole number.
- Turn on two-step verification (Settings → Account) so nobody can re-register your number.
Why use a Mauritania number for WhatsApp?
WhatsApp is the first app most people in Mauritania open every day, so a +222 number is what contacts, shops and services there expect to see on your profile.
Paying with Bankily: Bankily has become a common way to pay and send money in Nouakchott, and it is linked to a local mobile number.
WhatsApp re-verifies whenever you move to a new phone, reinstall or restore a backup, so a number you keep is the only way to stay in control of the account.
