ESender provides a Chinese virtual phone number (+86) that unlocks access to WeChat, Chinese car apps (Lixiang, Zeekr, Voyah, Avatr), and a wide range of Chinese online services — all without being in China.
The #1 use case for ESender is connecting Chinese electric vehicles to their manufacturer apps — no Chinese number, no full app access.
Chinese car brands: Lixiang, Zeekr, Voyah, Avatr
The most common reason people get ESender is to activate Chinese EV apps. Without a Chinese number:
- the car's companion app cannot be activated
- the master account cannot be set up
- remote control is unavailable (unlock, pre-heat, check charge)
- firmware and navigation map updates are blocked
Supported brands include:
- Li Auto (Lixiang) — L6, L7, L8, L9, Mega
- Zeekr — 001, 007, X, 009
- Voyah — Free, Dream, Passion
- Avatr — 11, 12
Car companion apps
ESender is required for:
- registering and signing in to the car's official app
- linking the vehicle to your account
- remote control via smartphone
- connecting the car to the manufacturer's servers in China
Without ESender the car operates in limited mode — key features are simply not activated.
WeChat — the essential link
ESender works through WeChat. You install WeChat first, then link your ESender virtual number to it.
WeChat then unlocks access to:
- messaging and calls
- Chinese payment systems
- car apps and other Chinese services
Chinese services & platforms
Beyond car apps, ESender is used for:
- accounts on Chinese marketplaces (Weidian, Taobao, Vipshop)
- verification on local platforms
- receiving SMS codes from Chinese services
Business with China
- communicating with Chinese suppliers via WeChat
- accessing local Chinese business platforms
- verifying accounts for China-related operations
