Telephone Numbers In China
Telephone numbers in the People's Republic of China are administered according to the Telecommunications Network Numbering Plan of China. The structure of telephone numbers for landlines and mobile service is different. Landline telephone numbers have area codes, whereas mobile numbers do not. In major cities, landline numbers consist of a two-digit area code followed by an eight-digit local number. In other places, landline numbers consist of a three-digit area code followed by a seven- or eight-digit local number. Mobile phone numbers consist of eleven digits. Landline calls within the same area do not require the area code. Calls to other areas require dialing the trunk prefix ''0'' and the area code. The Special administrative regions of China, special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau are not part of this numbering plan, and use the calling codes +852, 852 and +853, 853 respectively.
