Because telecommunications operators have a phone number recycling mechanism, when you purchase a new "reassigned" phone number and use it to register an account on WeChat, you may see this login prompt ▼
- Two different options lead to different paths and results.
Can I still apply for a new mobile phone number that has been registered with WeChat?
Generally, most people who have just changed their phone number will choose " This isn't mine, continue registering ".
If the WeChat account is successfully registered, the mobile phone number will be automatically unbound from the account before it was recycled, and it will be successfully bound with your newly registered WeChat account.
What should I do if the newly purchased mobile phone number prompts "WeChat has been registered"?
If you encounter a message indicating that a newly purchased mobile number has already been registered, this is because the mobile number has been reclaimed and released again by the telecommunications operator.
It can be solved by:
- Case XNUMX: The mobile phone number can be registered
- Case XNUMX: The mobile phone number cannot be registered
How to re-login to WeChat with a mobile phone number that has been bound?
Next, how to use the bound mobile phone number to log in to WeChat again in these two situations?
Case XNUMX: Can register
You can click [Register] → [Not mine, continue to register] on the WeChat login interface to register a new WeChat account ▼
Case XNUMX: Unable to register
If the newly purchased mobile phone number cannot be registered with WeChat, you can try to save a screenshot of the registration failure page, and then contact WeChat customer service for processing.
Please log in to any WeChat and click Discover → Mini Programs → Search for the "Tencent Customer Service" applet → Submit a question → Select the product "WeChat Account Security" → Select the problem type "Unable to register WeChat" and submit it for manual processing▼
Tips:
1. The mobile phone number is not a WeChat account, but a way to register/bind with WeChat. In order to facilitate your memory and use, please set up a personal WeChat account as soon as possible after successful registration: [Me] → [Personal Avatar] → [WeChat ID] ];
2. After completing the registration, your mobile phone number will be bound with your newly applied WeChat account, and the previous registration binding relationship will be automatically cancelled.Please rest assured that it will not have any impact on your current WeChat account registration and use.
