Step by step
How to verify Coinbase with a China number
One Coinbase code on a +86 number costs $1.93 — the 28th cheapest of 32 countries in Asia. Full Coinbase walkthrough and troubleshooting: Coinbase verification guide.
Get your China number
Sign up with an email, top up with USDT or USDC and pick China: a plan to keep the +86 number, or a single-use Coinbase OTP number ($1.93).
Open Coinbase
Go to the phone step during sign-up or Settings → Security.
Enter the +86 number
Select China (+86) in Coinbase's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +86 into Coinbase.
Enter the Coinbase code
Coinbase sends a numeric SMS code by SMS. SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +86 number; type the code into Coinbase to finish.
Tips for China numbers
- After +86, China mobile numbers begin with 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 — a quick check that you pasted the whole number.
- Only need one code and the country doesn't matter? Malaysia costs $0.26 for Coinbase, against $1.93 here.
- Coinbase requires identity verification; the phone number does not replace it.
Why use a China number for Coinbase?
Day-to-day life in China runs on WeChat, Alipay and Douyin, yet Coinbase remains the app for a stable 2FA number for a crypto account. A +86 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Chinese apps and platforms: Many domestic services, from Xiaohongshu to Taobao, expect a +86 number during sign-up and account recovery.
Coinbase sends sign-in and recovery codes to the number on file.
