02The basics

What is the country code for China?

Mainland China answers on +86 — dial it after your local exit code and you'll reach any landline or mobile from Harbin to Hainan. One catch worth burning into memory: Hong Kong (+852) and Macau (+853) run entirely separate numbering plans and are never reached through +86, even though they're part of China.

Code +86 was assigned to China by the ITU under the E.164 plan. The “+” means “dial your local international exit code”; on a mobile, press and hold 0 to type it.

+860086011 8600 86

All four mean the same thing — they connect your call to China.

03Dialing format

How to call China from anywhere

The pattern holds across the whole country: your exit code, then 86, then either a city area code stripped of its leading 0 (for landlines) or the full 11-digit mobile number, which carries no area code at all.

04Number format

China phone number format explained

中國的計劃存在明顯分歧。大城市有 2 位數的短區號(北京 10、上海 21),較小的城市有 3 位數的區號(深圳 755),每個區號後面跟著一個 7 或 8 位數的本地號碼。手機完全忽略地理位置:始終為 11 位數字,始終以 1,從不攜帶區號。

07Time zone

中國時區

這是一個真正的規模怪異:中國橫跨五個地理時區,但整個大陸只使用一個時區——中國標準時間 (CST),UTC+8,沒有夏令時。因此,當北京處於正午時,西邊3000公里處的喀什也處於正午,那裡太陽剛升起。一個時鐘,無一例外——這實際上使日程安排變得令人耳目一新的簡單。

最佳通話視窗

** 由於全國共享 CST,因此您只能定位一個視窗。對於中國工作日(09:00–18:00 CST),請在晚上從美國西海岸致電(太平洋時間 17:00–18:00 到達北京早上)或在凌晨從英國致電(01:00–10:00 GMT)。

09避免這些

打電話給中國的常見錯誤

幾乎每次失敗的國際電話都是格式問題,而不是網路問題。

撥打+86 撥打香港或澳門號碼

「中國」是最常見的錯誤。這些地區位於 +852 和 +853,按照自己的計劃和計費; +86永遠不會到達他們那裡。

**在國外固定電話區號上保留前導 0**

刪除中繼 0(+86 10,而不是 +86 010)。

將區號固定在手機上

中國的手機不分地理,因此 11 位元手機前面的城市代碼會中斷通話。

計數錯誤

手機剛好是 11 位數;10 位數的「手機」少了一個。

試著撥打 911 或 112

中國的緊急熱線也不是;請撥打 110(警察)、119(火警)或 120(救護車)。

10省錢

降低撥打中國電話費用的技巧

**持有虛擬中國 DID** 因此可以以國內費率撥打話費,而不是高昂的國際長途費率。

**透過 VoIP/SIP 路由**可大幅降低到達如此遙遠的市場的每分鐘成本。

依賴單一時區

安排到一個 CST 重疊視窗並跳過高級日間關稅。

**透過雲端路由將呼入頻道集中到一個中國號碼**,而不是運行每個座席的國際線路。

11商務用

為什麼企業要取得中國虛擬號碼

在世界上最大的行動市場——連接數遠遠超過十億——外國來電顯示是一個立竿見影的劣勢。本地 +86 號碼可以贏得中國客戶和合作夥伴的信任,而您的團隊可以留在地圖上的任何地方。

**更高的答覆率**

**更高的接聽率** — 本地號碼的接聽率遠高於外國號碼。

**降低信任摩擦**

**降低信任摩擦** — 熟悉的 +86 線路表示真正的本地存在。

**入境更便宜**

**入境較便宜** — 客戶以當地費率而非國際費率與您聯絡。

**集中路由**

**集中路由** — 將中國呼叫轉接到任何地方的任何團隊。

**更快的擴充**

**更快的擴張**-在沒有實體辦公室的情況下測試中國市場。

**真實的 PSTN 存在**

**真正的 PSTN 存在** — 真正的國內號碼,而不是中繼。

FAQ

China +86 — FAQ

Does +86 reach Hong Kong and Macau?expand_more

No — and this trips up a lot of callers. Mainland China is +86, but Hong Kong (+852) and Macau (+853) run separate plans and separate billing, so dial those codes directly.

Why does the whole country share one time zone?expand_more

China spans five geographic zones but keeps the entire mainland on China Standard Time (CST), UTC+8, with no daylight saving — so noon in Beijing is noon everywhere, which makes scheduling a single, predictable window.

Why are some area codes two digits and others three?expand_more

China's plan gives the largest cities short 2-digit codes (Beijing 10, Shanghai 21) and smaller cities 3-digit ones (Shenzhen 755, Hangzhou 571).

How long is a Chinese mobile number?expand_more

Always 11 digits, always starting with 1, with no area code — e.g. 138 0013 8000. A 10-digit "mobile" is incomplete.

Do I drop the leading 0?expand_more

On landlines, yes — strip the trunk 0 from the area code when calling internationally (+86 10, not +86 010). Mobiles have no 0 to drop.

Can I tell the carrier from the prefix?expand_more

It hints at China Mobile, Unicom or Telecom, but nationwide number portability means the original prefix may no longer match the current network.

Can a non-resident business get a +86 number?expand_more

Yes — MCM can provision a China virtual number without local residency, subject to verification.

What are China's emergency numbers?expand_more

110 for police, 119 for fire, 120 for ambulance — not 911 or 112.
