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.

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 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.
