Today it’s very common to have multiple email accounts. That being said, signing up for qqmail can be tricky for English speakers residing outside of China.Your work and personal accounts, the one you use for your purchases, the one you use for school. Here, we have a step by step tutorial for how to open a QQ Mail account in English. Your first step is to go to the sign up page. This is what the QQ Mail sign up page looks like:Īnd here is a close-up shot of the URL of the version of the page that doesn’t start randomly blinking blue lights in all the drop-down boxes: So I prefer to use the second result, which is: If you Google the search term “QQ sign up”, you’ll get two different results that will take you to what looks like the same page, however, in my experience the first result (zc.qq.com/en/) gets a little temperamental. Now you need to fill in the different boxes with your information. In the first box, start typing your primary email address (e.g. When you do, a dropdown menu will appear so you can select the domain for your email address (that’s the part that comes after the sign). You should get a nice green check mark when QQ verifies that this is a valid email address.Ĭontinue by picking a nickname. It can be anything you want and it appears that it doesn’t have to be unique, since you’ll get a unique QQ ID number as your account identifier. Then, choose a password that meets the requirements stated in the little popup box, and enter it again to confirm it. The QQ? sign up page will let you know how strong or weak your password is, but it will allow you to continue with a weak one (although this isn’t really recommended). Now, continue filling in the fields with your information, selecting your gender, birth date, and location. Finally, type the verification code in the box at the bottom to prove you aren’t a robot, make sure the box is checked indicating you’ve read the fine print, and click “ Sign up now”. Now QQ Mail is going to send you a text message to your mobile phone for additional verification. IMPORTANT! If you just go typing your phone number in right now, it won’t work because it’s set to accept only numbers from mainland China. If your phone number isn’t Chinese, as it most likely isn’t, click on the link that says “select your country/region”, and then pick your country with the appropriate code from the list.Īfter that, you can enter your mobile phone number and you should get a free SMS text message within a matter of seconds that contains a 6-8 digit code. Type that code into the box, and submit it. If it is the right code, you should be taken to a page telling you that QQ Mail sent an activation email to the address you used to sign up. Note: The first time I entered my verification code, I got an error saying I had tried to sign up too many times and I was blocked for 24 hours.
