Which Chinese Car Brands Need a +86 Number

List of Chinese car brands whose apps require a Chinese +86 number: BYD, Chery, Geely, Nio, XPeng, Voyah, Avatr, MG, Great Wall and more.

▸ Knowledge Base

A Chinese +86 number is required by every brand whose app sends verification codes only to Chinese numbers: BYD, Chery, Geely, Nio, XPeng, Voyah, Avatr, MG, Great Wall (Haval, Tank, ORA) and others. KitSim issues a +86 number as an eSIM within one day.

The logic is the same for all Chinese manufacturers: the app was built for the domestic market, so the SMS verification code goes only to a Chinese +86 number. International numbers never receive it.
