How a Zhihu number behaves in the wild

A Zhihu number is in stock in 10 countries right now, 744K lines in total, and the entry price is $0.11 in United States. The price gap between countries is not arbitrary: it follows what the local networks charge and how often they actually deliver, which is why the table above shows both next to each other.

Every line here is a real mobile number on a real operator, not a VoIP or relay range. That distinction decides more sign-ups than price does: platforms look a number up in the carrier databases before they send anything, and a line type that comes back as internet-provisioned is refused before an SMS is ever attempted. It is also why this catalogue is smaller than it could be.

Nothing is charged until the Zhihu code lands. The price is held against your balance while the number is live and released automatically if the window closes empty, so the cost of being wrong about a country is a wait rather than money. Balances are topped up in crypto, $20.00 minimum, with nothing added on top.
