Get your Taiwan number
Sign up with an email, top up with USDT or USDC and pick Taiwan: a plan to keep the +886 number, or a single-use Uber OTP number ($1.16).
Open Uber
Go to the first screen of the Uber app (“Enter your mobile number”).
Enter the +886 number
Select Taiwan (+886) in Uber's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +886 into Uber.
Enter the Uber code
Uber sends a 4-digit code by SMS (WhatsApp in some markets). SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +886 number; type the code into Uber to finish.

Day-to-day life in Taiwan runs on LINE, Facebook and Instagram, yet Uber remains the app for rides and deliveries with a local number drivers can reach. 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.
Uber logs you in by SMS and drivers contact you on the number during every trip.
