Key facts
- Chinese car apps deliver the verification code only to +86 numbers — SMS is never sent to numbers from other countries.
- No Chinese passport required: the number is issued against your international passport, name and surname in Latin letters.
- Issuance takes from 30 minutes to 2 hours after the issuance procedure starts.
- The number works as an eSIM: a separate profile, your main SIM keeps working. No QR code needed — SMS arrive in an app on the phone.
- The number does not work for WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram or Facebook — Chinese numbers are not accepted there.
Great Wall Motor builds apps for the whole group: GWM App for Haval, Tank and Wey, ORA App for ORA electric cars. Registration and car linking require a Chinese +86 number — verification codes are not sent to international numbers.
When +86 is required
- Registration in the GWM App or ORA App
- Linking the car to its owner
- Account access recovery
- Subscriptions, updates and remote functions
How to get the number
- Request: phone, email, your name and surname in Latin letters as in your passport, and the passport number.
- We issue a +86 number as an eSIM, usually within one day.
- The owner installs the eSIM; the primary SIM stays active.
- They register the account with that number.
