Step by step
Apple Account asks for your number at account creation, or Settings → your name → Sign-In & Security → Two-Factor Authentication. Expect a 6-digit code; it can arrive by SMS or voice call.
Get your Taiwan number
Sign up at PhoneBorn with an email, top up with crypto and choose Taiwan: a monthly plan ($8.68) if you want to keep the account, or a single-use Apple Account OTP number ($1.23) for one code.
Open Apple Account
Go to account creation, or Settings → your name → Sign-In & Security → Two-Factor Authentication.
Enter the +886 number
Select Taiwan (+886) in the country picker and paste the number from your dashboard without a leading 0. Taiwan mobiles look like 09xx xxx xxx → +886 9xx xxx xxx.

Follow the prompt
Keep the number as a trusted phone number for two-factor authentication.
Day-to-day life in Taiwan runs on LINE, Facebook and Instagram, yet Apple Account remains the app for an Apple Account with a trusted number from the country. A +886 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Shopping on Taiwanese platforms: Buyers and sellers on Shopee Taiwan and local forums like Dcard need a +886 number for verification.
Apple two-factor authentication depends on a trusted phone number for the life of the account.
LINE is everywhere in Taiwan, from family groups to customer service, and local platforms like Dcard and Line Pay verify users by phone. Taiwan’s semiconductor industry and popular Mandarin programmes bring in many foreigners who need a +886 number.
Local context
Taiwanese prepaid SIMs require a passport plus a second form of ID, and tourist SIMs are sold at the main airports. A Taiwan number from PhoneBorn needs no SIM and no ID — only an email.
