Get your Republic of the Congo number

Open TikTok
Go to “Use phone or email” on the sign-up screen.
Enter the +242 number
Select Republic of the Congo (+242) in the country picker and paste the number from your dashboard without a leading 0. Republic of the Congo mobiles look like 06 xxx xxxx → +242 06 xxx xxxx.

TikTok is one of the most used apps in Republic of the Congo, alongside WhatsApp and Facebook. A local +242 number makes a creator or brand account for a local market look native rather than foreign.
Diaspora in France: Congolese from Brazzaville living in France keep a home number so family can reach them on WhatsApp.
TikTok asks for the phone number again for logins on new devices and for creator or shop features.
The Republic of the Congo depends heavily on offshore oil, and the port city of Pointe-Noire hosts many international operators. Unlike most countries, Congolese numbers keep their leading 0 even when dialled from abroad, a detail that often trips up newcomers. A +242 number keeps expat workers and the Brazzaville diaspora in easy contact with local contacts.
Local context
