Step 2: Sign Up for a Baidu Account
Open a new tab in your browser.

Enter your email address and create a password, or sign up with Google, Microsoft, or Apple if you prefer.

During the account creation process, Baidu, Inc. will ask for a phone number to verify your account.
Return to the receive-sms.io tab and copy the temporary phone number you selected.
Go back to the Baidu sign-up page and paste the temporary number into the phone number field.
Make sure to select the correct country code that matches the phone number’s country (e.g., +1 for USA).
Step 4: Wait for the Verification Code
After entering the temporary phone number, Baidu will send a verification SMS to that number. Go back to the receive-sms.io page where you selected your phone number. Refresh the page if necessary to check for new messages.
Step 5: Enter the Code into Baidu
Once you see a message from Baidu, copy the verification code from the SMS. Return to the Baidu sign-up page. Paste or type the verification code into the box provided. Click Submit or Verify.
Step 6: Check If Verification Was Successful
If the code is correct, Baidu, Inc. will confirm your phone number, and your account creation will continue.

Why Use a Temp Phone Number for Baidu SMS Verification
1. Privacy Protection
Many users prefer not to share their personal phone numbers with companies, including Baidu, Inc.. By using a temporary number, they can keep their personal information private and avoid potential unwanted contact or data collection.
2. Avoid Spam or Marketing Messages
Some services may send follow-up messages, promotions, or notifications after verification. With a temporary number, you reduce the risk of receiving spam on your personal number.

Temporary numbers are useful if you need to create multiple Baidu accounts for testing, development, or business purposes, without needing a separate physical SIM card for each account.
4. No Long-Term Commitment
Temporary numbers are disposable and typically expire after a short time. This makes them ideal for one-time verifications, without any long-term connection to your identity.
5. Access When Traveling

FAQ
Can I use a temporary Chinese phone number to register a Baidu account?
Baidu — China's dominant search engine and technology ecosystem — requires a Chinese +86 phone number for most of its account registration flows. A virtual +86 number from receive-sms.io may receive the initial SMS verification code for Baidu account creation in some cases. However, Baidu applies China's real-name internet registration requirements (网络实名制), which means that for full account functionality, a carrier-registered Chinese number linked to verified identity is required.
Why do people outside China need a Baidu account?
Baidu's ecosystem includes services beyond just search: Baidu Tieba (China's largest online forum network), Baidu Cloud/NetDisk (cloud storage with massive free capacity popular among Chinese internet users), Baidu Maps, and various AI and developer tools. International researchers, developers, China-market professionals, overseas Chinese communities, and global users accessing Chinese content often need Baidu accounts to use these services.
Does Baidu's real-name registration law affect virtual number use?
China's 网络实名制 (internet real-name registration) requirement applies to Chinese domestic internet services including Baidu. Under these regulations, accounts linked to services subject to this law should ultimately be tied to verified real identities. For basic account creation and initial services, a virtual +86 number may pass the SMS step, but for services within Baidu's ecosystem that enforce full compliance — such as Baidu Cloud for large storage tiers — real carrier-registered identity may eventually be required.
What Baidu services are most accessible with a virtual number?
Baidu Tieba (forums) and basic Baidu search account features tend to have the most accessible verification requirements. Baidu Cloud/NetDisk free tier access has also been used with virtual numbers by some international users. Baidu services that involve financial transactions, content monetisation, or high-frequency commercial use are more likely to require complete real-name verification with a carrier-registered Chinese number.
Which virtual number should I use — a Chinese +86 number or another country?
Baidu's services are primarily designed for Chinese users and require a Chinese +86 number for the SMS verification step. Other country codes are generally not accepted for Baidu account registration. receive-sms.io provides free Chinese +86 virtual numbers for exactly this purpose. Select a +86 number from the China section, copy it, and use it during Baidu's registration form.
How fast does Baidu send verification SMS to a virtual inbox?
Baidu's SMS verification codes are typically delivered by Chinese carrier gateways. Delivery to receive-sms.io's Chinese virtual numbers usually takes 15 to 45 seconds. If a code hasn't appeared after 90 seconds, refreshing the inbox and requesting a new code is the recommended approach. If delivery consistently fails, Baidu may be blocking the specific virtual number prefix — switching to a different +86 number from the list often helps.
Can Chinese diaspora communities use receive-sms.io to access Baidu services?
Yes. Chinese communities living outside mainland China — in the US, Australia, the UK, Canada, Singapore, and other countries — often need Baidu accounts to access Baidu Tieba communities, Baidu Cloud shared files, or other services from the Chinese internet ecosystem. A free +86 virtual number from receive-sms.io provides the Chinese phone number required for account registration from any country, with no need for a physical Chinese SIM.
Is using a virtual number for Baidu registration legal?
For users outside China, there is no legal prohibition on using virtual numbers for Baidu registration. Chinese internet regulations apply to domestic users and platforms within China's jurisdiction — they do not extend legal obligations to foreign users accessing Chinese services from abroad. The practical limitation is functional: some Baidu services may restrict features for accounts without fully verified real Chinese identity, regardless of legal considerations.
