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 wikiHow will teach you how to request that WeChat unblock your account.
