The Chinese Telephone Code Plan is the way to group telephone numbers in the mainland of the People's Republic of 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 without area codes.

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.

In addition, Taiwan and several islands of Fujian are under the control of the Republic of China. The PRC numbering plan reserves space for Taiwan, but they are not currently used. Currently phone numbers in areas under ROC control are under the separate international calling code of 886. See Telephone numbers in Taiwan.

[edit] Country codes

• Country Code: 86
• International Call Prefix: 00

[edit] 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 or four digits as follows:

   130/1/2      China Unicom GSM   133          China Telecom CDMA   1340-1348    China Mobile GSM   1349         ChinaSat Satellite   135/6/7/8/9  China Mobile GSM   150          China Mobile GSM   151          China Mobile GSM   152          China Mobile GSM   153          China Telecom CDMA   155          China Unicom GSM   156          China Unicom GSM   157          China Mobile TD-SCDMA   158          China Mobile GSM   159          China Mobile GSM   185          China Unicom WCDMA   186          China Unicom WCDMA   188          China Mobile TD-SCDMA   189          China Telecom  CDMA
