Telephone numbers in China

About Telephone numbers in China

(Redirected from China telephone numbering plan)
'The Chinese Telephone Code Plan' is the way to group telephone numbers in mainland China. Land lines and mobile phones follow different systems: land lines use area codes, while mobile phones do not.
For land line area codes, a "0" is typically added in front when dialing domestic long distance from within mainland China, but is never added when dialing from outside mainland China. Domestic phone numbers in large cities have 8 digits, and in other areas 7 digits and no less. Mobile phone numbers have 11 digits.
The Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau are not part of this numbering plan, and use the country codes 852 and 853 respectively. (see Hong Kong telephone numbering plan and Macau telephone numbering plan).
'Country Code: 86'

'International Call Prefix: 00'

Mobile phones


In mainland China, mobile phone numbers have 11 digits in the format 1xx-xxxx-xxxx. The first three digits of mobile phone numbers (13x, 15x and 18x) designate the mobile phone service provider and the next four digits is a regional code and the last four digits are assigned by the mobile service provider as part of the customer ID.
Mobile service providers can be identified by the first three digits as follows:
130/1/2 China Unicom GSM
133 China Unicom CDMA
1340-1348 China Mobile GSM
1349 ChinaSat Satellite
135/6/7/8/9 China Mobile GoTone subscription service
