Get your United States number
Sign up with an email, top up with USDT or USDC and pick United States: a plan to keep the +1 number, or a single-use WhatsApp OTP number ($1.23).
Open WhatsApp
Go to the first screen after installing WhatsApp (or WhatsApp Business) — “Enter your phone number”.
Enter the +1 number
Select United States (+1) in WhatsApp's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +1 into WhatsApp.
Enter the WhatsApp code
WhatsApp sends a 6-digit code by SMS, or a voice call if the SMS does not arrive. SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +1 number; type the code into WhatsApp to finish.

WhatsApp is one of the most used apps in United States, alongside Instagram and Facebook. A local +1 number makes reaching customers, family and a business audience in the country look native rather than foreign.
E-commerce sellers: Sellers on Amazon, Etsy and eBay targeting US buyers use a local number for customer support and account verification.
WhatsApp re-verifies whenever you move to a new phone, reinstall or restore a backup, so a number you keep is the only way to stay in control of the account.
