WeChat asks for a phone number before it lets you in. No code, no charge — a number that never receives one costs you nothing. You choose the market, we hand you a real number, and whatever WeChat texts to it appears in your SMS For U account within seconds of WeChat releasing it. The same catalogue covers 1,400 services and buys numbers on four continents.
How you get your code
- Search WeChat inside SMS For U.
- Choose the market you want the WeChat number to come from, out of whatever the app currently offers.
- One confirmation later the number belongs to you.
- Put it into WeChat at the sign-up screen and request your code.
- WeChat texts it over, SMS For U catches it for you, and you copy it across.
Why a phone number is asked for
WeChat is built around a phone number: it is the account name, the key your contacts reach you by and the thing you sign in with. WeChat asks for it on the sign-up form, before the account exists at all. The number goes in at: the sign-up screen. WeChat can ask for the same number again later — on a new device, after a password change or during a routine check. Bear that in mind before you tie an account to a number you will not have access to in a month.
What the code looks like
WeChat sends a short numeric code by SMS. The WeChat code shows up in your SMS For U account on its own, within seconds of WeChat sending it — nothing to refresh and nothing to forward. A WeChat code is only valid briefly, so enter it promptly. One number normally carries one WeChat account.
Countries we serve
Below are the 50 markets we hold numbers in, WeChat included. Treat them as our footprint rather than as today’s shelf: ranges run dry and are topped up again while you read this, so a market listed here may be unavailable for WeChat within the hour. The country screen in the app is where that question is answered honestly for WeChat, because it is the only thing that updates as fast as the ranges do.

Common questions
How do I get a WeChat verification code without my own SIM card?
Open SMS For U, search for WeChat and pick a country. You get a real phone number, you enter it at WeChat (the sign-up screen), and the code WeChat sends appears in your SMS For U account by itself. No SIM card is involved, and the WeChat number is not yours to keep.
How fast does the WeChat code arrive?
The WeChat code appears in your account within seconds of WeChat sending it. How long WeChat itself takes is up to WeChat and to the country the number comes from, which is why nothing here is worded as a promise.
What happens if no WeChat code arrives?
You do not pay for a WeChat number that brought no code. Cancel the order in the app and the payment is refunded as soon as the cancellation is confirmed. That is the whole rule, and it is why a failed WeChat attempt costs nothing: no code, no charge.
Which countries can I use for WeChat?
WeChat numbers come from the 50 markets listed on this page. Which of them can be picked for WeChat at this moment is on the country screen in the app: that list moves through the day, and a page in a search index cannot keep up with it.
Can I use the same number for WeChat again later?
Sometimes. WeChat can ask for the same number again on a new device, and a used WeChat number is not reserved for you indefinitely. If you need lasting access to a WeChat account, use a number of your own.
