About China virtual phone numbers
China telecoms regulator: MIIT. DIDHub handles the MIIT paperwork on your behalf and surfaces every requirement before you pay — never a surprise hold or last-minute document request.
China's regulator MIIT (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology) is one of the strictest globally. All Chinese number allocations require KYC plus an ICP-style filing. Foreign companies typically need a WFOE or local Chinese entity. DIDHub coordinates compliance; activation takes 5-15 business days. Outbound calls and SMS to Chinese destinations are subject to MIIT-approved use cases.

FAQ
Do I need a Chinese entity to buy a Chinese virtual phone number?
Generally yes for production use. Foreign companies typically need a WFOE (Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise) or a local Chinese subsidiary as the licensed holder of the number. DIDHub can connect you with compliance partners if needed.
How much does a Chinese virtual phone number cost?
Tier 1 geographic Chinese numbers from $8.00/month. 400 business numbers from $12.00/month. Toll-free 800 from $30.00/month plus per-minute. $0 setup once MIIT paperwork is approved.
What's a 400 number and how is it different from 800?
400 numbers are non-geographic Chinese business numbers — the caller pays the normal long-distance rate (no premium); they're reachable from both landline and mobile across all of China. 800 is true toll-free but reachable only from Chinese landlines (mobile callers can't reach 800). Most Chinese B2C uses 400.
Can I use a Chinese virtual number with Microsoft Teams?
Yes — via Teams Direct Routing through DIDHub's managed SBC. Microsoft Calling Plans does not cover China, so Direct Routing through DIDHub is the standard path for Teams in mainland China.
Can I send SMS to Chinese numbers?
SMS in China is heavily regulated. Inbound SMS works on most numbers; commercial outbound SMS requires content pre-approval and is restricted to MIIT-licensed templates. DIDHub manages compliance for legitimate use cases.
