Open PayPal
Go to sign-up (“Mobile number”) or Settings → Security → 2-step verification.
Enter the +228 number
Select Togo (+228) in the country picker and paste the number from your dashboard without a leading 0. Togo mobiles look like 9x xx xx xx → +228 9x xx xx xx (also 7).

Day-to-day life in Togo runs on WhatsApp, Facebook and TikTok, yet PayPal remains the app for receiving payments with a number that matches your account country. A +228 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Port of Lomé logistics: Shipping agents and traders using Lomé’s deep-water port coordinate cargo with Togolese partners by phone and WhatsApp.
PayPal sends login and payment codes for as long as the account exists.
Lomé’s port makes Togo a logistics gateway for landlocked Sahel countries, and much of that trade is negotiated on the phone. Mobile wallets like Flooz and T-Money are tied to local numbers, which also matter to Togolese living in France, Germany and neighbouring states.
Local context
Togolese SIM cards must be registered with an ID card or passport. A Togo number from PhoneBorn needs no SIM and no ID — only an email.
