Tips for United States numbers
- Only need one code and the country doesn't matter? Barbados costs $0.32 for PayPal, against $1.93 here.
- PayPal requires your real identity and residence; the phone number is only one part.
Why use a United States number for PayPal?
Day-to-day life in United States runs on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, yet PayPal remains the app for receiving payments with a number that matches your account country. A +1 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
App and service verification: Many US banks, fintech apps and marketplaces ask for a US mobile number during sign-up or two-factor authentication.
PayPal sends login and payment codes for as long as the account exists.
