How to order on Amazon India without an Indian phone number?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 21 days ago
TL;DR
Amazon India requires an Indian phone number for registration. The first order is the hardest — leave delivery instructions in your account and ask the courier for their WhatsApp to coordinate.
What the community said
The first delivery is the hardest part — subsequent ones go smoothly. Use the delivery instructions field in your Amazon account to describe how to find your place and your availability. Ask the courier for their WhatsApp number and use the translate feature to communicate. In the Morjim and Ashvem areas, a courier named Hamid Hussain frequently handles deliveries and can also be found on Facebook.

Amazon India currently does not accept non-Indian phone numbers during registration when using the phone + email sign-up method. Changing or adding a number in account settings is also restricted to Indian numbers only. Registering with email only may bypass this limitation.

Using a VPN does not help bypass Amazon India's phone number requirement — the site still asks for an Indian number after entering your email address during registration.
