- Only need one code and the country doesn't matter? Kiribati costs $0.32 for PayPal, against $0.91 here.
- PayPal requires your real identity and residence; the phone number is only one part.
Why use a Samoa number for PayPal?
Day-to-day life in Samoa runs on Facebook, Messenger and WhatsApp, yet PayPal remains the app for receiving payments with a number that matches your account country. A +685 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
