    Inside China, numbers are dialled with a leading 0; leave it out after +86.

    Chinese mobile numbers have eleven digits and start with 1, written after the +86 country code. Many Chinese apps check that a number belongs to a Chinese carrier, so a shared public number is often refused there. Use any temporary China phone number listed here for one sign-up only.

    Private China number prices by app

    A private number is used by you alone. Its price depends on the app you need the code for:

    Prices checked on October 30, 2026. The current price is shown before you pay.

    Didn't get the code?

    Free numbers are shared, so a code can fail to arrive for reasons nobody here controls:

    • Someone else may already have used the number to sign up to the same service, so it refuses the number.
    • Many apps can block VoIP numbers and numbers that many people have used, and every public number here is used by many people.
    • Some services only send codes to certain countries.

    VoIP vs non-VoIP numbers

    A VoIP number runs over the internet. It is cheap and quick to issue, and many apps reject it for verification. A non-VoIP number belongs to a mobile carrier and is tied to a SIM card. Apps accept it more often, but none of them promise to.

    A private number is used by you alone, so nobody else can read your codes or reuse the number, and apps are less likely to refuse it.
