Binance fully supports registration via phone number, including mobile numbers from over 200 countries and regions worldwide, such as the +86 prefix. To get started, visit the Binance Official Website, switch to the phone registration tab on the signup page, enter your mobile number, set a password, and verify with the SMS code. Alternatively, you can download the Binance Official APP to register directly on your phone; iPhone users should refer to the iOS Installation Guide. The entire process takes just 3 minutes.
Differences Between Phone and Email Registration
| Comparison | Phone Registration | Email Registration |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Faster, instant SMS verification | Slightly slower, requires opening email |
| Security | Risk of SIM hijacking | More secure with 2FA |
| Changing Number | Requires migration if number changes | Email addresses rarely change |
| Login Method | Phone + Password | Email + Password |
| Password Recovery | SMS code reset | Email link reset |
Accounts registered via either method have identical features, and you can link both a phone number and an email address to your account later.
Step 1: Open the Registration Page
Visit the Binance Official Website and click "Register" in the top right corner. On the registration page, you will see tabs for "Email" and "Phone." Click to switch to the "Phone" registration mode.
Step 2: Enter Phone Number and Password
- Select Country Code: Click the country code dropdown before the phone number field and select your country. For example, users in certain regions would select +86.
- Enter Phone Number: Type in your 11-digit mobile number (no leading zero required).
- Set Password: Must be at least 8 characters, including uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers.
Once filled, click "Get Code," and Binance will send an SMS to your mobile device.
Step 3: Enter the SMS Verification Code
Your phone will receive an SMS from Binance containing a 6-digit verification code. Enter this code into the corresponding field on the registration page and click "Register" to complete the process.
The SMS code is valid for 10 minutes. If you do not receive the SMS:
- Wait 1-2 minutes as there may be delays.
- Check if your phone has SMS spam filtering enabled.
- Ensure your phone number was entered correctly and has signal.
- Click "Resend" to try again.
- If you still cannot receive it after multiple attempts, we recommend switching to email registration.
Step 4: Enhance Account Security
Immediately improve your security settings after a successful registration:
Link an Email (Highly Recommended): If you registered with a phone number, we strongly advise linking an email address. Path: Account → Security → Email Verification → Bind. This ensures you can still log in and recover your password even if your phone number changes.
Enable Google Authenticator: This is the most critical security measure. Enabling it brings your account security to the highest level. According to Binance's security team, accounts with 2FA enabled have a 99% lower risk of being compromised.
Step 5: Complete KYC Verification
Just like email-registered accounts, phone-registered accounts must complete KYC (Know Your Customer) identity verification to access all features:
- Basic Verification: Upload ID photos and pass facial recognition to unlock C2C trading.
- Advanced Verification: Submit proof of address to increase your daily withdrawal limit to 8 million USDT.
KYC reviews are usually completed within 5-30 minutes, though it may take 1-2 hours during peak times.
SMS Delivery Performance by Carrier
Based on user feedback statistics:
| Carrier Type | Average SMS Arrival Time | Non-delivery Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Major Carriers (e.g., China Mobile) | 10-30 seconds | ~5% |
| Major Carriers (e.g., China Unicom) | 10-30 seconds | ~3% |
| Major Carriers (e.g., China Telecom) | 15-60 seconds | ~8% |
| Virtual Network Operators | Varies | ~20% |
If you are using a virtual network operator (VNO) number, the probability of receiving an SMS is lower, and we recommend using email registration instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are there restrictions on registering with a specific country's phone number?
Generally, no. Most phone numbers can register and use all Binance features normally. Simply complete the KYC verification after registration to begin trading.
Can I change my linked phone number later?
Yes. Select "Change Phone Number" in the Security settings. You will need to verify both the old and new phone numbers. If your old number is no longer available, contact Binance Online Support for assistance; issues are typically resolved within 24 hours.
How many Binance accounts can be registered with one phone number?
One phone number can only be used for one Binance account. If the system indicates that the phone number is already registered, it means you have previously created an account with that number; simply log in directly.
What if I see "Area Not Supported" during registration?
If your region's phone number cannot receive Binance SMS verification codes, we recommend switching to email registration. Email registration is not restricted by region and offers identical functionality.
