Get your Nigeria number
Sign up with an email, top up with USDT or USDC and pick Nigeria: a plan to keep the +234 number, or a single-use Google OTP number ($0.25).
Open Google
Go to the “Confirm you’re not a robot” / phone step during account creation, or Security → 2-Step Verification.
Enter the +234 number
Select Nigeria (+234) in Google's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +234 into Google.
Enter the Google code
Google sends a 6-digit code (sent as G-xxxxxx) by SMS or voice call. SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +234 number; type the code into Google to finish.

Day-to-day life in Nigeria runs on WhatsApp, Instagram and TikTok, yet Google remains the app for a Gmail, YouTube or Google Ads account that matches the country you target. A +234 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Lagos tech and fintech: Startups in Yaba and Lekki build on fintech platforms such as Opay, Palmpay and Paystack, where testing and support need Nigerian numbers.
Google uses the number for account recovery and sign-in challenges long after sign-up.
