Key facts
- Chinese car apps deliver the verification code only to +86 numbers — SMS is never sent to numbers from other countries.
- No Chinese passport required: the number is issued against your international passport, name and surname in Latin letters.
- Issuance takes from 30 minutes to 2 hours after the issuance procedure starts.
- The number works as an eSIM: a separate profile, your main SIM keeps working. No QR code needed — SMS arrive in an app on the phone.
- The number does not work for WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram or Facebook — Chinese numbers are not accepted there.

Toyota is a special case. According to Toyota bZ3X (GAC Toyota) owners, the master account requires a Chinese passport in addition to a +86 number, and the car must not be russified. We do issue the Chinese number, but please check the Toyota master account with us in advance — write before ordering.
What the number solves
- Initial app activation after purchase
- Recovering the master account registered in China
- Adding a second driver or family access
- Subscriptions, OTA updates and service features
How to get the number
- Request: phone, email, your name and surname in Latin letters as in your passport, and the passport number.
- We issue a Chinese +86 number as an eSIM, usually within one day.
- The owner installs the eSIM on their phone — no need to change the device.
- They register the account in their brand's app with that number.
