Hong Kong virtual number for Telegram: what to know
Why a Hong Kong phone number is easier to get as a virtual one
Since 2023 every local SIM in Hong Kong must be registered under a real name. In other words, anonymous cards are gone. So you cannot get a SIM without documents and a trip there.
A Hong Kong virtual number removes this step. It is issued online, and a browser is all you need to read SMS. Besides, the number is mobile, not from a VoIP app. As a result, Telegram sees a regular Hong Kong number.
By the way, four carriers run mobile service in Hong Kong: CSL, China Mobile Hong Kong, SmarTone and 3 Hong Kong. For Telegram, though, there is no difference between them. If you need a number from another Asian country, check the table below.
