Get your Romania number
Sign up with an email, top up with USDT or USDC and pick Romania: a plan to keep the +40 number, or a single-use PayPal OTP number ($1.12).
Open PayPal
Go to sign-up (“Mobile number”) or Settings → Security → 2-step verification.
Enter the +40 number
Select Romania (+40) in PayPal's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +40 into PayPal.
Enter the PayPal code
PayPal sends a 6-digit code by SMS. SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +40 number; type the code into PayPal to finish.
Tips for Romania numbers
- After +40, Romania mobile numbers begin with 7 — a quick check that you pasted the whole number.
- Only need one code and the country doesn't matter? Ukraine costs $0.35 for PayPal, against $1.12 here.
- PayPal requires your real identity and residence; the phone number is only one part.
Why use a Romania number for PayPal?
Day-to-day life in Romania runs on WhatsApp, Facebook and Messenger, yet PayPal remains the app for receiving payments with a number that matches your account country. A +40 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Tech hubs in Cluj and Bucharest: Software and outsourcing firms in Cluj-Napoca, Bucharest and Iași work with clients who expect a Romanian contact number.
PayPal sends login and payment codes for as long as the account exists.
