Should Singapore Users Register on Binance with Phone Number or Email?
It is recommended to prioritize email registration over phone number. This is becauseBinancehas IP restrictions during registration — Singapore IPs cannot register. With email, you can first use your phone connected to Wi-Fi/mobile data to complete registration, then bind your phone number later. Email offers more flexibility during the registration process and is less likely to get stuck.

1. Core Reason: Singapore IPs Are Blocked During Registration
Multiple Binance registration guides explicitly state:US IPs and Singapore IPs cannot register a Binance account. If you are in Singapore and try to register using the local network directly, the page will show "Unable to access" or "Service unavailable."
In this case, if you useemail registration, you can turn on a VPN and connect to a node in another region (e.g., Taiwan) to complete registration and KYC verification. If you usephone number registration, while you can still use a VPN, the phone number itself is linked to a Singapore carrier, and you may experience delays in receiving SMS verification codes later.
2. Practical Differences in the Registration Process
Using email (recommended):
Prepare a commonly used email address (Gmail or Outlook preferred; QQ Mail or 163 Mail also acceptable)
Ensure your network environment does not use a Singapore IP (switch to a Taiwan or Hong Kong node via VPN)
Open the Binance website or app, click [Register] → enter email → receive verification code → set password → complete
After successful registration, you can bind a Singapore phone number in Security Center at any time as a two-factor verification method
Using phone number:
Also requires avoiding Singapore IP during registration
Enter a phone number starting with +65 and receive an international SMS verification code
Some carriers may delay or block international SMS, affecting registration smoothness
3. What Singapore Users Should Note After Registration
After registration, during KYC identity verification, fill inSingaporeas the country of residence, and fill in your actual nationality based on your passport (e.g., China, Malaysia, etc.). KYC verification requires uploading identification documents and proof of address (utility bills, bank statements, etc., valid within 3 months), and the address must match what was filled in.

4. Dual Role of Email and Phone Number
Choosing email registration does not mean the phone number is useless. After registration, it is recommended tobind your +65 phone number as a backup verification methodin Security Center — for receiving 2FA codes, withdrawal confirmations, and modifying security settings, having an additional verification channel is more convenient.
Can I bind a Singapore phone number after registering with email?Yes. After registration, go to Binance App [Security Settings], find [Phone Number Verification], and follow the prompts to bind your +65 phone number. This does not affect email login.
What if I don't receive the verification code by email during registration?Check the spam folder; ensure your email has not blocked emails from @binance.com; try a different email address (recommend Gmail or Outlook) and retry.
What if I registered with a phone number in Singapore but can't receive the verification code?Switch to email registration, use a VPN to connect to another node to complete registration, then bind your phone number later. The inability to receive SMS may be due to your carrier blocking international SMS.
