Step by step
How to verify Uber with a China number
One Uber code on a +86 number costs $1.26 — the 28th cheapest of 32 countries in Asia. Full Uber walkthrough and troubleshooting: Uber 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 Uber OTP number ($1.26).
Open Uber
Go to the first screen of the Uber app (“Enter your mobile number”).
Enter the +86 number
Select China (+86) in Uber's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +86 into Uber.
Enter the Uber code
Uber sends a 4-digit code by SMS (WhatsApp in some markets). SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +86 number; type the code into Uber 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 $0.17 for Uber, against $1.26 here.
- A local number looks familiar to drivers and couriers who call you.
Why use a China number for Uber?
Day-to-day life in China runs on WeChat, Alipay and Douyin, yet Uber remains the app for rides and deliveries with a local number drivers can reach. A +86 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Students and families abroad: Chinese students overseas keep a mainland number so parents, banks and university contacts at home can still reach them.
Uber logs you in by SMS and drivers contact you on the number during every trip.
