eSender app: how to download and install

How to download the eSender app on Android and iPhone, whether you need it at all, and why KitSim (UAE) clients do not have to install it.

▸ Knowledge Base

The eSender app is the Chinese service through which a +86 number is issued and its incoming SMS are displayed. KitSim clients do not need it: the number runs on our side and SMS arrive in the app on your phone. If you work with eSender directly, the interface is in Chinese and payment requires Chinese methods.

In short: what matters

eSender is a Chinese service that issues +86 numbers and displays incoming SMS.
KitSim clients do not need the eSender app: we handle issuance, SMS delivery and renewal, and SMS arrive in the app on your phone.
If you work with eSender directly, the interface is in Chinese, payment uses Chinese methods, and there is no Russian-language support.
Download the app only from an official source: third-party APK builds are a data risk.
Do not confuse the two: esender.su is the KitSim website, while eSender is the Chinese service that issues the numbers.

How to download the eSender app

Android: the APK is distributed from the service website and in Chinese app stores. It is not in Google Play.
iPhone: the app is in the Chinese App Store, so a China-region Apple ID is required. It will not appear in search with a Russian Apple ID.
Third-party sites: do not use APK builds from random resources — malicious versions are often distributed under the guise of number apps.

Do you actually need this app

If you need a +86 number to register in a Chinese car app, you will not need the eSender app. We issue the number on our side: we need the name in Latin script as in the document and the foreign passport number. No document photos and no selfies. Issuance takes 30 minutes to 2 hours.

SMS arrive not in a Chinese app, but in the app on your phone. No SIM to insert, no QR code needed, any smartphone works. Payment by Russian card, by SBP transfer or by invoice for companies, with support in Russian.

Registration and payment

Registering with eSender itself requires a Chinese account and Chinese payment methods — the main reason clients come to us. With KitSim no registration in a Chinese service is needed: you receive the number and SMS delivery as a ready service.

How is eSender different from esender.su?

eSender is the Chinese service that issues +86 numbers and shows their SMS. esender.su is the KitSim website where you order the number and get SMS delivery and support in Russian.

Why go through KitSim instead of dealing with eSender directly?

Dealing directly requires a Chinese account, Chinese payment methods and a willingness to work through a Chinese interface. With KitSim you get the number and SMS delivery without that, with support in Russian and payment by Russian card.
