咨询 | Seeking Advice (Serious) Getting a Chinese provider email as a non-Chinese/non-mainlander
Hello,
I'm a Westerner but I engage in Chinese spaces from time to time relating to technology and software for other perspectives and assistance. However, some of the sites I want to explore require you to have a Chinese email (qq.com, 163, yeah.net, etc) to use them. I've tried to sign up to no avail - they require Chinese phone numbers and using ones from SMS rental sites don't seem to work, either. I really just want an email from China. Any help?

For SMS you will probably need to pay a little less than 5€. I used Yesim for some stuff and they're solid.

Hmm. I see. Can I use this to sign up for Tencent or Netease mail providers? I tried with some and it asks me to scan a QR code, nonetheless.

you can't just buy virtual chinese numbers anywhere online, very few providers let you do it
