China virtual phone number
A Chinese virtual number: a +86 line for WeChat, QQ, marketplaces and other services that ask for a mainland phone. Issued online, the code shows up in your dashboard.
Chinese virtual number: what to know
Inside mainland China WhatsApp needs a VPN, so a +86 number is usually bought for Chinese platforms first: WeChat, QQ, marketplaces, games. For a Chinese-speaking audience outside the mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong numbers avoid the platform caveat.

Services for a Chinese number: one-time prices
The price of a single code depends on the service. The table lists every service with Chinese numbers in stock right now; a permanent +86 line receives codes from all of them.
One-time prices for China by service: you pay per received code, updated daily. A permanent number of this country works for any service.
How to get a Chinese number: step by step
- Check the live stock for China in the passport block.
- Pick a format, pay, and the +86 number appears in your dashboard.
- Give the service that number on the sign-up screen.
- Grab the code from the dashboard, confirm it, and the account is ready.
Buy a Chinese virtual number: the essentials
A China virtual number is the second most requested direction in the English catalog after the USA, and the reason is the platforms: WeChat, QQ, Chinese marketplaces and games verify by SMS to a +86 phone. A virtual Chinese phone number lets a buyer abroad pass that screen without a mainland SIM. The number is issued to your dashboard, the code lands there, and the account is registered from any country.
The honest caveat is the platform side: inside the mainland WhatsApp needs a VPN, so a +86 line is bought for Chinese services first. A one-time Chinese code covers a single sign-up; a permanent Chinese number is the choice for a WeChat or marketplace account you will keep. Stock and prices for both formats are live in the passport above.
Chinese numbers in practice
Remember the platform caveat: inside the mainland WhatsApp needs a VPN, so build the +86 purchase around Chinese services. A permanent line on a WeChat or marketplace account survives the re-checks those platforms are known for.
That is the standard BasolinoVoIP is built on: live stock, a real price, a person to write to. Buyers abroad register Chinese apps and games with a one-time +86 code, and traders keep a permanent Chinese number for supplier chats and marketplace accounts. Each account gets its own line from the dashboard. Nearby in the catalog: Russian numbers.

Questions about Chinese numbers
Which is cheaper for China: one code or a monthly number?
One code, by far, if you need a single sign-up. A monthly number costs more but keeps receiving codes; the passport above shows both when both are in stock.
Can I register a service from a computer with a Chinese number?
Yes. The number and the code are in your browser dashboard; the service itself can be opened on any device.
What does a Chinese number look like to my contacts?
Like a regular local mobile: +86 1xx-xxxx-xxxx. Contacts see the +86 code and nothing else about you.
Do I stay private with a Chinese number?
Your own SIM never enters the process, and the code is visible only in your account. What contacts see is just a +86 number.
Can I renew a Chinese permanent number every month?
Yes, renewal is one click in the dashboard. Keep the balance topped up before the paid period ends and the +86 number stays yours.
What if the code to my Chinese number does not arrive?
Write to support from the dashboard within 24 hours with the number and order; failed deliveries are handled under the refund policy with a replacement or a refund.
Do calls and groups work on a +86 number?
Yes. Once the account is verified, everything in the app works as usual; the number only defines the +86 code contacts see.
Can I buy several Chinese numbers at once?
Yes. Each +86 number is a separate line in your dashboard with its own codes and renewal, so several accounts can run side by side.
Does WhatsApp work on a Chinese number?
The number receives the code like any other. Using WhatsApp inside the mainland needs a VPN; outside China the app works normally on a +86 line.
Will WeChat accept a virtual +86 number?
WeChat verifies by SMS to the phone; the code arrives in your dashboard. WeChat may also ask an existing user to confirm a new account, which is its own rule, not the number.
Is a Chinese number good for a Chinese-speaking audience abroad?
For the mainland, yes. For Taiwan, Hong Kong or overseas Chinese communities, their own numbers read more naturally.
Can I keep a +86 number for supplier chats?
Yes, take the permanent format and renew it monthly; re-checks from Chinese platforms land in the dashboard.
