Keep your Macau number as long as you want
A Macau number is only useful if it is still yours next year. WeChat and WhatsApp — and most banks, marketplaces and exchanges — send codes to the number again when you switch phones, reset a password or log in from somewhere new.
Renew monthly ($8.26) or yearly ($41.30) and the same +853 number stays on your account for as long as you want. Nobody else is assigned it while you hold it, and auto-renew from your wallet means it never lapses by accident.
Travelling, moving or living abroad
Macau requires real-name registration of SIM cards, so visitors present a passport or travel permit when buying one.
With PhoneBorn you skip the SIM counter entirely: the Macau number lives in your browser, so it works before you land, while you are there and after you leave — no roaming charges on incoming SMS.
Visitors and event travel: Tourists coming for the Grand Prix, concerts or conventions use a Macau number to book restaurants and message hotels.
FAQ
Macau phone number FAQ
How do Macau mobile numbers look?
Macau mobile numbers are written 6xxx xxxx → +853 6xxx xxxx — 8 digits after the +853 country code. When an app asks for your number, pick Macau (+853) and enter the digits without any leading trunk 0.
Can I use a Macau number for WhatsApp?
Yes. It is a real mobile number, so WhatsApp can verify it by SMS or by voice call — both arrive in your PhoneBorn inbox. If you only need one WhatsApp code, a single-use OTP number for Macau costs $1.12. For an account you plan to keep, a monthly plan is the safer choice because WhatsApp re-verifies when you change phones.
Can I make and receive calls on a Macau number?
Yes. Every plan includes 1,000 outgoing calling minutes a month and unlimited incoming calls, plus unlimited incoming SMS and 500 outgoing SMS. Voice-call verification codes are therefore covered too.
Which apps work with a Macau number?
WhatsApp, Instagram, Google, Telegram and more than 110 other apps. Popular locally: WeChat, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram. Each platform decides which numbers it accepts; real mobile numbers pass the line-type checks that block VoIP numbers.
What if it doesn't work — can I get a refund?
If your number has not sent or received a single SMS or call, you can get a full refund within 7 days of purchase — no questions asked. Open the number in your dashboard and press “Request refund”. Eligible refunds are returned to your wallet instantly. Single-use OTP numbers are refunded automatically if no code arrives.
Do I need ID or a Macau address?
No. You only need an email address — no passport, no local address and no residency. That is the main difference from a local prepaid SIM. Macau requires real-name registration of SIM cards, so visitors present a passport or travel permit when buying one.
How much does a Macau phone number cost?
$8.26 per month or $41.30 per year for a number you keep, or from $0.56 for a single-use OTP number that receives one code. Prices are in USD and you pay from a crypto-funded wallet.
Can I use the number outside Macau?
Yes. The number works from anywhere with an internet connection — you read SMS in the web dashboard, so there is no roaming and no SIM. Handy whether you are in Macau or on the other side of the world.
