Open X (Twitter)
Go to the sign-up flow (“Phone”) or Settings → Your account → Account information → Phone.
Enter the +86 number
Select China (+86) in X (Twitter)'s country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +86 into X (Twitter).
Enter the X (Twitter) code
X (Twitter) sends a 6-digit code by SMS. SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +86 number; type the code into X (Twitter) 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 $0.16 for X (Twitter), against $1.18 here.
- Hide the number from discoverability under Privacy and safety → Discoverability.
Why use a China number for X (Twitter)?
Day-to-day life in China runs on WeChat, Alipay and Douyin, yet X (Twitter) remains the app for news, brand or community accounts aimed at a local audience. 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.
X frequently locks new or active accounts and asks for a phone code to unlock them.
