Step by step
Uber asks for your number at the first screen of the Uber app (“Enter your mobile number”). Expect a 4-digit code; it can arrive by SMS (WhatsApp in some markets).
Get your Nepal number
Sign up at PhoneBorn with an email, top up with crypto and choose Nepal: a monthly plan ($4.24) if you want to keep the account, or a single-use Uber OTP number ($0.80) for one code.
Open Uber
Go to the first screen of the Uber app (“Enter your mobile number”).
Enter the +977 number
Select Nepal (+977) in the country picker and paste the number from your dashboard without a leading 0. Nepal mobiles look like 98xxxxxxxx → +977 98xxxxxxxx.

Drivers and couriers can call you
Drivers and couriers can call you — incoming calls are unlimited on every plan.
Day-to-day life in Nepal runs on Viber, Messenger and Facebook, yet Uber remains the app for rides and deliveries with a local number drivers can reach. A +977 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Trekking in the Himalayas: Trekkers heading to Everest Base Camp or the Annapurna region use a Nepali number to coordinate guides, porters and teahouses.
Uber logs you in by SMS and drivers contact you on the number during every trip.
Remittances from Nepalis working abroad make up a large share of the economy, and Viber is the go-to app for calls home. Add the trekking industry and a fast-growing student diaspora, and a +977 number becomes a practical tool for many people.
Local context
Foreigners buying a SIM in Nepal need a passport copy and a photo for registration. A Nepal number from PhoneBorn needs no SIM and no ID — only an email.
