Area Code & Zip Code
The country code of China is 86. Each Chinese city has its own area code and different zip code. Below are the different ways for dialing Chinese numbers:

Dialing China from Abroad

  • To call China from abroad with a fixed telephone, dial the outbound number of your country + 86 (the country code of China) + area code of the Chinese city + fixed Chinese telephone number. To call a mobile phone number, dial the outbound number of your country + 86 + mobile phone number.
  • To call China from abroad with a cell phone, dial the outbound number of your country + 86 (the country code of China) + area code of the Chinese city + fixed Chinese telephone number. To call a mobile phone number, dial the outbound number of your country + 86 + mobile phone number.

Dialing within China

  • To call a fixed telephone number in a Chinese city from another Chinese city 0, then area code + fixed telephone number. To call a mobile phone number dial 0 + mobile phone number.
  • To call a fixed telephone number in a Chinese city from another Chinese city, dial 0 + area code + fixed telephone number. To call a mobile phone number, dial the mobile phone number directly without 0 prefix.

Note: Different countries require different outbound prefix numbers. For example, US and Canada: 011; Europe (including England): 00; Asia: some areas such as Saudi Arabia: 00; others (such as Seoul) are 001; Australia: 0011, Africa: 09…

Mr.blare(cn) replied:

Hello, it's true that the zip code is 5 digital. but you need to give the specific address: disrict, street as well as the door number. cause the even door number and the odd door number is different!

Hi, the number is from yiwu. You need to dial 00 86579 8559 3788. OO is the exit code of UK. Try again, if it still can not get through, the number may be an invalid one.

I received a item purchased on a website which came back to me incorrectly. I returned the item to the address supplied below but it has come back to me saying there was insufficient details on the address. The supplier is now refusing to answer my emails so am wondering if anybody can help. Address supplied is below:-
Zhang Linrui
No.51 binjiang road
LiuYang, JiangXi 410300
China

Many thanks as there is a quite a bit of money tied up in this item that I need a refund of. Cheers

Mr.yina(cn) replied:

Hi, most probably, you are cheated. Liuyang is in Hunan province but not in jiangxi. 410300 is the zip code of Liuyang of Hunan. I think their purpose is to cheat money from you. Once they get the money, they will not reply to you. You need to complain in my opinion. Do you have any other information about the company? The address they give you is totally wrong! ou need to know other information about the company or it is very hard to get your money back. If you do not mind, you can tell your story, thus people who see it will not cheat by them.
