Taobao Phone Verification: Receive the Taobao SMS Code Online

Can you register on Taobao without a phone number?

No. Taobao's privacy policy says that to create an account you need to give at least a phone number, a member name and a password; without them you can only browse and search. What you can choose is which number you use. Taobao's overseas registration help says users in a list of overseas countries and regions can register, so you don't need a Chinese mainland number if your country code is offered. The country list shown in the Taobao app or website is the one that counts.

How to receive a Taobao verification code

1. Sign in to SMSPing and search for the service "Taobao".
2. Choose a country, then look at each carrier's price and stock. Check that the same country code is offered on Taobao's registration page.
3. Pick a carrier with stock, confirm the price and place the order to get your number.
4. In Taobao, switch the country code from +86 to the country you ordered and enter the number exactly as shown in your order.
5. Go back to your SMSPing order page, wait for the SMS (if it arrives), then copy the code into Taobao.

Each number is ordered for the selected service only, so don't use a Taobao order as a general-purpose number for other apps.

What Taobao checks

Taobao decides which numbers it accepts. Its privacy policy says it may check the risk level of the number on your account with mobile carriers, and that when it sees a risk that the number has been reassigned from a previous owner, it asks the carrier to check that too. So a number offered for the "Taobao" service can still be refused. If that happens, follow Taobao's message on screen.

Taobao's overseas service agreement also asks you to give true and valid contact details, including your phone number, and to keep them up to date so you can be reached. Some purchases and account roles on Taobao need real-name verification with your own ID. A phone number from SMSPing doesn't change or replace that, and this page doesn't cover it.

Countries and prices for Taobao numbers

Snapshot as of 2026-11-11 03:02 UTC, 153 / 153 (countries queried / countries in catalog). Taobao is not on the public price list yet (that list covers 26 popular services and is regenerated every 6 hours). Prices are confirmed when you order. The table lists only countries where at least one carrier has stock; the price shown is the lowest price among carriers with stock, in USD.

Prices can change after you look at them and are re-checked when you order. If the price has changed, refresh and confirm the new quote. If the country you need isn't listed, it had no stock in the snapshot; check again later.

Before you use a temporary number for Taobao

• Taobao's rules come first. Follow Taobao's own help pages and service agreement. This page doesn't judge Taobao's verification process.
• Numbers are temporary. A number only receives SMS while the order is active. SMSPing numbers receive SMS only, not calls. Taobao's Taiwan help FAQ says that when it detects a security risk on an account, it asks for an SMS code before you can log in. A temporary number can't receive that later code, so if you plan to pay, keep orders or recover the account later, a mobile number you will keep is the better choice. Taobao's overseas help also says an Alipay account is created together with your Taobao account.
• Numbers may have been used before. If Taobao says the number is already registered or can't be used, cancel the order rather than trying to work around it.
• No SMS? The charge goes back to your balance. While waiting you can request a cancellation. If an order is canceled or times out with no SMS, the charge is returned to your SMSPing balance, once per order; the balance is not withdrawable. Orders that already received an SMS can't be canceled. See pricing and balance rules.
• Payment. Top up your account with USDT (TRC20/ERC20/BEP20, recommended); TRX, ETH and BNB are also accepted. Minimum top-up $10.

Taobao verification code not received?

Check that the country code on Taobao is not still set to +86, and that the digits match your order exactly. Then give the SMS a little time before asking for another code. If Taobao shows an error about the number, that number won't work for you: cancel the order or let it time out, and follow Taobao's message and official support guidance. Do not retry with other numbers to get around a restriction. More troubleshooting steps are in what to do if your verification code doesn't arrive.
