Calls and WhatsApp on one number
A China number (+86) removes the time-zone and cost barrier from selling into China. Inbound calls land in your system directly, so the customer never sees where your team is based.

China phone numbers — common questions
What is the country code for China?
The international dialling code for China is +86. A virtual China number is issued inside that numbering plan, so it appears as a local number to anyone calling or texting from within the country.
Can I receive SMS on a China number?
No. In this country the number works for voice only — inbound SMS is not available. If you need SMS, choose a country where it is supported.
Do I need an office in China to get the number?
No. The number is virtual — it routes to your PBX phone system, 3CX or SIP setup wherever your team works. You manage it from the browser.
Can I use a China number for calls as well as SMS?
The number handles voice calls — inbound and outbound — and can receive WhatsApp calls. Inbound SMS is not available in this country.
