Why get a Seychelles (+248) number
Across Africa, mobile is the primary way people get online, pay and talk to businesses, so a local number is often the first point of contact.
With a +248 number you can serve Seychellois customers, suppliers and partners without opening an office in Victoria, and without asking anyone to pay for an international call.
Because it's a real number on the Seychelles telephone network, it works for normal calls and text messages — including one-time passcodes and verification SMS from apps and websites.
What's included with every Seychelles number
- Receive as many SMS as you like — codes, alerts, replies
- Send up to 500 texts a month
- Call out for up to 1,000 minutes a month
- Take unlimited calls from Seychelles and abroad
- Plug into Zoiper, Linphone, 3CX or Asterisk with SIP

Works with WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, Google and more
Signing up to WhatsApp, Telegram or Google with a +248 number takes a minute: enter the number in the app, then read the code in your ZuteSIP dashboard as soon as it lands.
