Country Code & Virtual Numbers
China's +86 code serves well over a billion mobile subscribers across three state-linked carriers. Capital: Beijing · Business hours: 8:00 PM–4:00 AM EST.
// The Basics
What is the +86 country code?
China's international dialing code is assigned by the ITU (International Telecommunication Union) and used for every call placed from outside the country.
Numbering format
Chinese mobile numbers are 11 digits and always start with 1, with no digits dropped beyond the country code when dialing from abroad.
Calling culture
Hierarchy matters on Chinese business calls — identifying the most senior person on the line and addressing them first is standard etiquette.
Did you know
Beijing's 010 area code covers one of the largest single-area-code regions in China, reflecting the capital's outsized share of national business activity.
// Quick Facts

Chinese mobile numbers follow a strict 11-digit format starting with 1, making it easy to tell a mobile number apart from a shorter landline entry. Rozper stores and dials contacts in full E.164 format automatically, so you never have to think about the formatting.
