If the phone number you registered with WeChat is acting abnormally and your account is blocked, you'll need to change the phone number associated with that account.[1] Phone numbers offered by virtual network operators (like Skype Out, Google Voice, RingCentral) cannot be used to unblock accounts, so you'll need to use another number registered to your name through a mobile provider. This How.com.vn will teach you how to request that WeChat unblock your account.
Things You Should Know
- Use WeChat’s support form for attempting to unblock your account.
- Send a verification code to the number associated with your WeChat account.
- Follow the instructions included with the code to try recovering your account.
