Area code is several digital numbers used to group telephone numbers (mobile phone number excluded) by geographic areas. Area code usually indicates certain geographic areas, such as 10 stands for Beijing and 29 stands for Shaanxi. It is used when dialing a number outside the code area.
Country code and exit code is used when you dialing an international number (both fixed and mobile phone number).
Zip code is the postal code used when mailing a letter. The zip code of China is 6 digital numbers. Note that there is no zip code in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.

I received a letter I believe to be a scam. A Chinese man wrote to me (from China supposedly) with a phone number of 852-8197-9604. I did not find 852 as a China area code. Can you tell me if it is? The other odd thing is that the letter came from Canada hahahah. Thanks if anyone can help.

Hi I bought an iphone which turned out to be fake and am trying to return to the company for a refund. I have been given the following details:
Guangdong province , guangzhou city baiyun district youyiju , NO 4 building 1 ti 305 room Contact Name: xue zhang Postal Code:510000 Phone Number:15814539157
Can you advise if these are true?
Nov. 18,2009 20:18
Mr.peterchina(cn) replied:
I think the company is an invalid one. Most probably, if you send the fake one to them, they will never contact you. You should be careful next time when you buy something online, make sure that the company is valid in advance!
