Step by step
How to verify LinkedIn with a China number
One LinkedIn code on a +86 number costs $1.09 — the 28th cheapest of 32 countries in Asia. Full LinkedIn walkthrough and troubleshooting: LinkedIn 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 LinkedIn OTP number ($1.09).
Open LinkedIn
Go to Settings → Sign in & security → Phone numbers, or the prompt during sign-up.
Enter the +86 number
Select China (+86) in LinkedIn's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +86 into LinkedIn.
Enter the LinkedIn code
LinkedIn sends a 6-digit code by SMS. SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +86 number; type the code into LinkedIn 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 $0.15 for LinkedIn, against $1.09 here.
- A local number fits a local-market profile and recruiter contact details.
Why use a China number for LinkedIn?
Day-to-day life in China runs on WeChat, Alipay and Douyin, yet LinkedIn remains the app for a professional profile for a job search or clients in the country. A +86 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Sourcing from Chinese suppliers: Importers buying through Alibaba, 1688 or the Canton Fair in Guangzhou use a Chinese number to talk to factories that do almost all their business on WeChat.
LinkedIn uses the number for sign-in checks and account restrictions long after sign-up.
