For example, you can register a QQ account for PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) game’s Chinese edition. A quick login and enjoy a different game experience as well as the built-in Asian beneficial rewards.

Which Version of QQ Is the Best For Me?
There are two different QQ versions: QQ Chinese version and QQ International version. Don’t mistake the two website address of QQ Chinese version and QQ International version.
Chinese Version of QQ, please visit official site: https://im.qq.com/index.shtml
International Version of QQ, please visit official site: https://www.imqq.com/
The latest registration process is quite different from that in previous years, more strict than before due to avoid such as the abuse of QQ accounts. QQ is also requiring real-name registration (which does Sina Weibo also ask for) via your valid mobile phone number.
If you are living in the mainland of China, or other areas of China such as Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, and you have owned a valid local phone number, it is easy for you to complete the registration within QQ Chinese version. Obvious to say that, QQ Chinese version provides more dazzling functions than QQ International version does.
Otherwise, you’d better install and sign up an account for QQ International version, because it supports the phone number from more global countries and areas. And to get a full English and clean interface, it is also suggested to use QQ International version.

how can i get a china number outside china for qq verification.
hi sean, it is unnecessary for users outside of China to get a Chinese phone number for QQ verification. In fact, you can use your own valid phone number from your own country to register QQ and then get verificated. The international QQ app now supports many country’s phone number now, please view the case I – > step four. You can check if your country code is in the qq’s country-support list in QQ international app.
I am from the Philippines and still I can’t register
I still can’t register.
What’s your problem? And in which step? you may give some details.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, i’m from Vietnam, and I can’t register. 🙁
In which step you got failed? Did not receive the verification code?
I can’t register because it always says “Servers are busy” on the website. I tried downloading the international app, but it closes out immediately every time I try to open it. The only available QQ app on the Play Store is the Chinese version and I even tried to install that one too. It can open, but when I try to register, it gives me the same message that the “Servers are busy”.
Hi, I think you may check if the app is supported in your country or area. If there is not the international version of QQ app in your local App Store, either Google Play Store or Apple APPStore, it is probably because that it is not available in your country currently.
Additionally, QQ has strict rules and has done many works on avoiding the abuse of registration. if you have tried too many times on registration or have made too many mistakes, you will probably get the notice like “server is busy”. In the case, you can leave the site and try it later, several hours later.
Hi, I have installed the QQ international app in my phone. When I tried to signup through the QQ international app, it will automatic direct me to download QQ China app. I have also downloaded this QQ China app as well and still unable to register a QQ account.
I have also tried to register through the QQ international official website too. After I have filled everything and click ‘Get verification code’, it popped out this error message “Server is busy, please try again later’… I am out of idea of registering QQ account. I have not facing any problem when registering my WeChat account. Do you have other method to help overseas user to register QQ account? Thanks!
I have had the same problem with them crashing and on the QQ international that they have through Google play has no way of changing it to English so there is no way to see how you can register it and even after you register your number and it doesn’t take you to the page like the YouTube video show when you download it from Google play store to install it I need a QQ mail in order to keep in touch with a Chinese girl that I have met over the internet on a dating site and it seems like everything is being blocked from the United States to China I was even using WeChat and it stopped operating properly also it’s saying thatuser ID does not exist when I know it exists and fact she took a screenshot of a message she tried to send and it would not go through please fix these problems
Sou brasileiro, tenho uma conta QQ há muitos anos. Quando fui fazer a vinculação de minha conta como Wechat, congelaram a minha conta, isso em setembro de 2019. De lá pra cá tenho tentado de todas as formas a descongelar a minha conta mas não consigo. Eles dizem que tenho que achar um amigo para ajudar a descongelar a conta, entretanto, não tenho como entrar em contato com os amigos com a conta congelada. Gostaria de saber se alguém pode fazer isso por mim, mesmo que eu tenha que pagar. Obrigado.
I’m afraid I could not read your language…hope others may help.
Hello,
I cannot login to QQ.
It says that “Your mobile phone number may have security risks tested by our system. Please change a new mobile phone number to register QQ account. You can find your password by using the phone number”
I am from Philippines using +63 cell code.
I also have tried using another phone number and still the error will persist.
I am hoping you could help me on this.
As far as I know, the most common reason is that your phone number might probably have been used to register too many QQ accounts, might not by you but by the previous phone number owners. There is probably no other solution to resolve it except trying other valid phone numbers. Or you can also ask Tencent’s customer service for help.
