Get your United Arab Emirates number

Open Coinbase
Go to the phone step during sign-up or Settings → Security.
Enter the +971 number
Select United Arab Emirates (+971) in the country picker and paste the number from your dashboard without a leading 0. United Arab Emirates mobiles look like 05x xxx xxxx → +971 5x xxx xxxx.

Follow the prompt
Add an authenticator app or security key as your main 2FA.
Day-to-day life in United Arab Emirates runs on WhatsApp, Instagram and TikTok, yet Coinbase remains the app for a stable 2FA number for a crypto account. A +971 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Trading with Gulf suppliers: Import and re-export businesses dealing with Dubai’s Deira and Jebel Ali traders often want a +971 contact that local partners recognise.
Coinbase sends sign-in and recovery codes to the number on file.
Roughly nine in ten UAE residents are foreign nationals, so a huge share of the country’s phone numbers belong to people who arrived from somewhere else. A +971 number is what Dubai and Abu Dhabi businesses, landlords and delivery apps expect to see. It also lets you keep a UAE presence after leaving, for bank OTPs and ongoing work contacts.
Local context
UAE SIM cards are registered to an Emirates ID or passport. WhatsApp messaging works normally, but WhatsApp voice and video calls are restricted in the country. A United Arab Emirates number from PhoneBorn needs no SIM and no ID — only an email.
