Get your Singapore number
Sign up with an email, top up with USDT or USDC and pick Singapore: a plan to keep the +65 number, or a single-use Microsoft OTP number ($1.18).
Open Microsoft
Go to account creation, or account.microsoft.com → Security → Advanced security options.
Enter the +65 number
Select Singapore (+65) in Microsoft's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +65 into Microsoft.
Enter the Microsoft code
Microsoft sends a short numeric security code by SMS or voice call. SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +65 number; type the code into Microsoft to finish.
