Step by step
Coinbase asks for your number at the phone step during sign-up or Settings → Security. Expect a numeric SMS code; it can arrive by SMS.
Get your Peru number
Sign up at PhoneBorn with an email, top up with crypto and choose Peru: a monthly plan ($4.89) if you want to keep the account, or a single-use Coinbase OTP number ($0.68) for one code.
Open Coinbase
Go to the phone step during sign-up or Settings → Security.
Enter the +51 number
Select Peru (+51) in the country picker and paste the number from your dashboard without a leading 0. Peru mobiles look like 9xx xxx xxx → +51 9xx xxx xxx.

Enter the SMS code from your inbox.
Follow the prompt
Add an authenticator app or security key as your main 2FA.
Day-to-day life in Peru runs on WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram, yet Coinbase remains the app for a stable 2FA number for a crypto account. A +51 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Peruvians abroad: Communities in Santiago, Buenos Aires, Madrid and Miami keep a Peruvian number for family and banking at home.
Coinbase sends sign-in and recovery codes to the number on file.
In Peru, paying someone often means scanning a QR code in Yape or Plin, and both apps depend on a Peruvian mobile number. Lima’s food scene and the road to Cusco and Machu Picchu bring in millions of visitors, who arrange much of their trip by WhatsApp. A +51 number also serves the large Peruvian communities in Chile, Argentina, Spain and the US.
Local context
Peruvian carriers register each line to an identity document, so visitors need a passport to activate a prepaid SIM. A Peru number from PhoneBorn needs no SIM and no ID — only an email.
