How to Create a 163 Email Account Without a Chinese Phone Number

Can you create a 163 email account without a Chinese phone number? If you are trying to register a 163 Mail account from outside China, you find that the registration process asks for a Chinese phone number. In this guide, we show how the 163 email registration process works and what you can do if you do not have a Chinese number.

163 Mail is a popular Chinese email service operated by NetEase. Its email addresses commonly use the @163.com domain, and it is widely used for Chinese websites, apps, services, and everyday email communication.

How to Register for a 163 Email Account

First, go to the official 163 Mail website (https://mail.163.com)and look for the registration option.

When you start the registration process, 163 Mail recommends using a Chinese phone number. If you do not have one, choose the registration option available at the bottom of the screen.

Enter Your 163 Email ID and Password

You can then enter the email ID and password you want to use for your new 163 email account. At this point, the registration look like it can be completed without a Chinese number.

However, there is another verification step.

163 Mail Still Require a Chinese Phone Number

163 Mail can still ask for a Chinese phone number after you enter your preferred email ID and password. This can be a problem for international users who are trying to create a 163.com email account from outside China.

Using a computer does not necessarily remove this requirement. The registration process can still ask for Chinese phone number verification even when you register from a laptop or desktop.

If you are outside China and do not have access to a Chinese phone number, you can not be able to complete the 163 Mail registration process on your own.
