Open PayPal
Go to sign-up (“Mobile number”) or Settings → Security → 2-step verification.

PayPal sends a 6-digit code by SMS. SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +258 number; type the code into PayPal to finish.
Tips for Mozambique numbers
- After +258, Mozambique mobile numbers begin with 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87 — a quick check that you pasted the whole number.
- Only need one code and the country doesn't matter? Lesotho costs $0.28 for PayPal, against $1.23 here.
- PayPal requires your real identity and residence; the phone number is only one part.
Why use a Mozambique number for PayPal?
Day-to-day life in Mozambique runs on WhatsApp, Facebook and TikTok, yet PayPal remains the app for receiving payments with a number that matches your account country. A +258 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Gas and mining contractors: Energy and mining projects in Cabo Delgado and Tete bring foreign staff who coordinate with Mozambican partners over WhatsApp.
PayPal sends login and payment codes for as long as the account exists.
