Tips for Tuvalu numbers
- Only need one code and the country doesn't matter? Kiribati costs $0.20 for Apple Account, against $0.43 here.
- Your App Store country is tied to payment and address, not the phone number.
Why use a Tuvalu number for Apple Account?
Day-to-day life in Tuvalu runs on Facebook, Messenger and WhatsApp, yet Apple Account remains the app for an Apple Account with a trusted number from the country. A +688 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Collectors of rare numbers: With around 11,000 people, Tuvalu has one of the smallest pools of phone numbers of any country.
Apple two-factor authentication depends on a trusted phone number for the life of the account.
