China Virtual Numbers for Receiving SMS

+86

What a China virtual number is for

A China virtual number lets you receive SMS online without a physical SIM card. It can be useful when a service asks you to confirm an action and you would rather not share your personal number during sign-up or sign-in. It also suits temporary tasks, app testing, travel and using Chinese online platforms.

You can use the number separately from your regular SIM. The verification code appears on your SMS4YOU order page, so you do not need to find a Chinese SIM card or change your phone settings. Before buying, check the service name in the list and choose a number for that specific purpose.

China numbers and operators

China’s international calling code is +86. Chinese mobile numbers are written with this code for international use, and the leading zero used in a domestic format is usually omitted. The catalogue may include numbers under the China Mobile and China Unicom brands.

A China number may be useful with services that send an SMS when you create an account, sign in or confirm an action. Examples include Amazon, TanTan, Alipay/Alibaba/1688 and Baidu. The catalogue also has an Any other category for other purposes. Which options are available depends on the current listings on the page.
