calling China from an Australian mobile
- Enter the + on your dial pad.* This is usually done by holding down the 0 key
- Enter the country code for China (86)
- Enter the area code in China you want to dial
- Finally, enter the local number of your family or friend
* Your phone automatically converts the "+" into the correct international exit code (depending on what country the phone is being used). This allows callers to use the same stored number no matter what county they are in. This is a great feature if you’re travelling abroad, using international roaming and calling your contacts while abroad.
Also remember to remove the first 0 if the area code/mobile number starts with 0
For example:
If you want to call a landline number in China:
For example, (10) 83410308 from an Australian mobile, you’d dial: +86 10 83410308
If you want to call a mobile number in China:
For example, 1343926 5956 from an Australian mobile, you’d dial: +86 1343926 5956
