Enter the +64 number
Select New Zealand (+64) in PayPal's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +64 into PayPal.

PayPal sends a 6-digit code by SMS. SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +64 number; type the code into PayPal to finish.
Tips for New Zealand numbers
- After +64, New Zealand mobile numbers begin with 2 — a quick check that you pasted the whole number.
- Only need one code and the country doesn't matter? Kiribati costs $0.32 for PayPal, against $2.10 here.
- PayPal requires your real identity and residence; the phone number is only one part.
Why use a New Zealand number for PayPal?
Day-to-day life in New Zealand runs on Facebook, Messenger and WhatsApp, yet PayPal remains the app for receiving payments with a number that matches your account country. A +64 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Campervan road trips: Travellers touring the South Island can book campsites, ferries and campervan returns with a +64 number.
PayPal sends login and payment codes for as long as the account exists.
