Does a Local Phone Number Work for Chinese Car Apps?

Check if your local number (+7, +971, +49, +44) works with Chinese car apps. Short answer: no, you need a +86 number.

▸ Knowledge Base

No, local numbers do NOT work. Chinese car apps only accept +86 Chinese numbers for SMS verification.

Unfortunately, local phone numbers from your country will not work for Chinese car app registration. This applies to all countries: UAE (+971), Germany (+49), UK (+44), Canada (+1), Australia (+61), Turkey (+90) and others.

Why? Chinese car manufacturers build their apps for the domestic market. SMS gateways are configured only for Chinese +86 numbers.

The only solution is to use a Chinese +86 number. KitSim provides an eSIM with a Chinese number that receives SMS in any country.
