About China numbers
Many widely used apps and services in China expect a local number during sign-up, which makes a Chinese number useful for businesses and travelers who need to register without a physical SIM. It also helps people abroad stay reachable on messaging and payment apps tied to a Chinese number.
A Chinese number is requested almost entirely for messenger and marketplace verification tied to China's own major platforms, which typically expect a local number rather than an international one - useful for anyone registering or managing an account tied to the Chinese market. Businesses testing how a product or storefront looks to a Chinese visitor before entering the market use it the same way.
China is one-time-only in our catalog, so there's no permanent line here yet - and with it, no non-VoIP option either, since that distinction only applies to the ongoing subscription numbers rather than a single-use one. What you get instead is a plain virtual number, priced and built for exactly one verification code rather than months of continued use, which is all a one-off signup usually needs anyway. If a specific service you're registering with insists on a non-VoIP or carrier number, a permanent number from a nearby or similarly-priced country in our catalog is the usual workaround, since the non-VoIP option only exists on that side of the catalog.
One-time China numbers start from $2.01 - pay once, get your code within seconds, and you're done, with no subscription, recurring charge, or renewal date to keep track of afterward. There's no permanent option for China in our catalog yet, so every number sold here works this way: it's built for a single verification and isn't meant to be reused for a second code later. If you later need the same kind of number to keep working for a re-verification months down the line, or the service specifically re-checks your number after signup, a permanent number from a nearby country in our catalog is the usual way around that, since it stays active for as long as you keep paying for it.
