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.
