Why a phone number is asked for
Numbers from Ghana carry the dialling code +233, so the service you are signing up to sees a Ghanaian number and treats the account accordingly. A +233 number matters wherever a service varies its content or its shipping options by country, and it matters nowhere else: for a plain sign-up the only thing that counts is that the Ghanaian number receives the SMS. You do not have to be in Ghana yourself: a +233 number is reachable wherever you are. Which services can be verified with a Ghanaian number at a given moment changes through the day, because ranges of numbers are used up and refilled, so that list lives in the app rather than on this page.
