Yes, it’s possible! But there are a few important things to keep in mind. Since Telegram is blocked in mainland China, direct access to its servers is restricted. Therefore, whether you’re downloading the app or registering an account, you’ll need to use a VPN (a method to bypass internet censorship). To successfully register with a China phone number, follow these three steps:

  1. Prepare a working VPN tool
  2. Open Telegram and begin the registration process Tap "Start Messaging", select your country/region: 🇨🇳 China (+86). Enter your mainland China phone number (e.g., 138xxxx8888) and wait to receive a verification code (usually via SMS).
  3. Enter the verification code to complete the registration
