Sign up at PhoneBorn with an email, top up with crypto and choose Senegal: a monthly plan ($5.49) if you want to keep the account, or a single-use Uber OTP number ($0.80) for one code.
Open Uber
Go to the first screen of the Uber app (“Enter your mobile number”).
Enter the +221 number

Drivers and couriers can call you
Drivers and couriers can call you — incoming calls are unlimited on every plan.
Day-to-day life in Senegal runs on WhatsApp, Facebook and TikTok, yet Uber remains the app for rides and deliveries with a local number drivers can reach. A +221 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Dakar’s startup scene: Dakar is a regional tech hub, and founders and remote workers use Senegalese numbers for local payments and customer chats.
Uber logs you in by SMS and drivers contact you on the number during every trip.
Senegal is one of West Africa’s most stable and connected countries, with Wave’s low-cost mobile money transforming how people pay and send funds. Its large diaspora across Europe and a growing Dakar tech scene both depend on reachable +221 numbers.
Local context
Senegalese SIM cards must be registered with an ID card or passport at purchase. A Senegal number from PhoneBorn needs no SIM and no ID — only an email.
