Open Coinbase
Go to the phone step during sign-up or Settings → Security.
Enter the +41 number
Select Switzerland (+41) in Coinbase's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +41 into Coinbase.
Enter the Coinbase code
Coinbase sends a numeric SMS code by SMS. SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +41 number; type the code into Coinbase to finish.

Day-to-day life in Switzerland runs on WhatsApp, Instagram and Twint, yet Coinbase remains the app for a stable 2FA number for a crypto account. A +41 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Cross-border workers: Hundreds of thousands of frontaliers commute into Geneva, Basel and Ticino from France, Germany and Italy and use a Swiss number for employers and Twint.
Coinbase sends sign-in and recovery codes to the number on file.
