'''Telephone numbers in the People's Republic of China''' are administered according to the Telecommunications Network Numbering Plan of China. The structure of [[telephone number]]s for landlines and mobile service is different. Landline telephone numbers have area codes, whereas mobile numbers do not. In major cities, landline numbers consist of a two-digit area code followed by an eight-digit local number. In other places, landline numbers consist of a three-digit area code followed by a seven- or eight-digit local number. Mobile phone numbers consist of eleven digits.

Landline calls within the same area do not require the area code. Calls to other areas require dialing the trunk prefix ''0'' and the area code.

The [[Special administrative regions of China|special administrative regions]] of [[Hong Kong]] and [[Macau]] are not part of this numbering plan, and use the calling codes [[+852|852]] and [[+853|853]] respectively.

== Mobile phones ==
In mainland China, [[mobile phone]] numbers have eleven digits in the format 1xx-XXXX-XXXX (except for 140–144, which are 13-digit IoT numbers), in which the first three digits (13x to 19x) designate the mobile phone service provider.

Before GSM, mobile phones had 6-digit (later upgraded to 7-digit) numbers starting with nine. They had the same numbering format as fixed-line telephones. Those numbers were eventually translated into 1390xx9xxx, where xx were local identifiers.

The oldest [[China Mobile]] GSM numbers were ten digits long and started with 139 in 1994, the second oldest 138 in 1997, and 137, 136, 135 in 1999. The oldest [[China Unicom]] numbers started with 130 in 1995, the second oldest at 131 in 1998. Keeping the same number over time is somewhat associated with the stability and reliability of the owner. The 5th to the seventh digit sometimes relates to age and location.

China's mobile telephone numbers were changed from ten digits to eleven digits, with 0 added after 13x, and thus the HLR code became four-digit long to expand the capacity of the seriously fully crowded numbering plan.

In 2006, 15x numbers were introduced. In late 2008, 18x and 14x (for data plans or IoT) were introduced. In late 2013, 17x were introduced. In 2017, 16x and 19x were introduced.

In December 2016, each cell phone number was required to be consigned to a real name in mainland China. <ref>{{cite news |title=工信部：已实现全部电话用户实名登记 |url=http://tech.qq.com/a/20170118/031020.htm?utm_medium=referral |publisher=新华社 |date=2017-01-18 |accessdate=2017-01-18 |archive-date=2019-02-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190219211812/http://tech.qq.com/a/20170118/031020.htm?utm_medium=referral  }}</ref>

In November 2010, MIIT has started the trial [[mobile number portability]] service in Tianjin and Hainan, in 2012 the trial has extended to Jiangxi, Hubei and Yunan provinces. On 10 November 2019, all provinces started accepting MNP requests for all mobile carriers, except for technical difficulties, the [[Mobile virtual network operator|MVNO]] phones, satellite phones and [[IoT]] phones.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.yicai.com/news/100417060.html|title="携号转网"正式启动，工信部点名"百年套餐"等障碍|publisher=第一财经|date=2019-11-27|language=zh-cn|accessdate=2019-11-29|archive-date=2020-11-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201104152246/https://www.yicai.com/news/100417060.html}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=携号转网新规正式施行！权威解答来了！ |url=https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_5144788 |publisher=澎湃新闻 |access-date=2019-12-10 |archive-date=2019-12-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191210045127/https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_5144788 }}</ref>

[[1G]] [[TACS]] networks were provided by China Telecom since 1987, operations transferred to China Mobile in 1999, the year China Mobile established, 1G shut down in 2001.

== Calling formats ==
To call phone numbers in China one of the following formats is used:

* For fixed phones:
'''xxx xxxx''' | '''xxxx xxxx''' Calls within the same area code

'''0yyy xxx xxxx''' | '''0yyy xxxx xxxx''' Calls from other areas within China

'''+86 yyy xxx xxxx''' | '''+86 yyy xxxx xxxx''' Calls from outside China

* For mobile phones:
'''1nn xxxx xxxx''' Calls to mobile phones within China

'''+86 1nn xxxx xxxx''' Calls to mobiles from outside China

== Area 1 – Capital Operation Center ==
The prefix one is used exclusively by the national capital, [[Beijing]] [[Direct-controlled municipalities of China|Municipality]].

* [[Beijing]] – 10 (formerly 1, abolished after GSM was introduced, to avoid conflict with mobile phone numbers with prefix 0 added (e.g. 0139-xxxx-xxxx))

== Area 2 – Country Communication System Operating Center ==
These are area codes for the [[direct-controlled municipalities of China|municipalities]] of [[Shanghai]], [[Tianjin]], and [[Chongqing]], as well as several major cities with early access to telephones. These cities have upgraded to an 8-number system in the past decade{{when|date=May 2022}}. 
All telephone numbers are 8-digit in these areas.

*[[Shanghai]] – 21
*[[Tianjin]] – 22
*[[Chongqing]] – 23 <sup>1</sup>
*[[Shenyang]], [[Tieling]], [[Fushun]], [[Benxi]] – 24 <sup>2</sup>
*[[Nanjing]] – 25
*[[Wuhan]], [[Huarong District]] of [[Ezhou]] – 27
*[[Chengdu]], [[Meishan]], [[Ziyang]] – 28 <sup>3</sup>
*[[Xi'an]], [[Xianyang]] – 29 <sup>4</sup>

== Emergency numbers ==
From within [[Mainland China]], the following emergency numbers are used:

*'''110''' – [[Police]] ('''12110''' for [[SMS]] to police, not for calling, '''95110''' for [[China Coast Guard|maritime policies]]{{NoteTag|'''+86-10-68995110''' when located at [[Exclusive Economic Zone|EEZ]]s or public seas, where mobile signals are unable to provide}}, '''96110''' to report [[phone fraud|frauds]])
*'''119''' – [[Fire brigade]] ('''12119''' for forest fire in some regions)
*'''120''' – [[Ambulance]]
*'''122''' – [[Traffic accident]] (incorporated into 110 in some cities) ('''12122''' on expressways)
*'''999''' – Privately operated ambulance ('''[[Beijing]] only''', calls outside Beijing is '''010-999''')

In most cities, the emergency numbers assist in [[Mandarin Chinese]] and [[English language|English]].

Starting from 2012 in [[Shenzhen]], an implemented system upgrade to unify three emergency reporting services into one number, '''110'''. A similar approach is being installed in more cities in China to make them more convenient.

As '''112''', '''911''', and '''999''' (except Beijing) are not official emergency numbers in China, when dialing them, a recording message is played about correction in Chinese and English twice, but no services are automatically redirected:

* China Mobile & China Broadcom (include contract phones without SIM cards inserted, even dialed 110/119/120/122): For police dial 110, to report the fire dial 119, for an ambulance dial 120, to report the traffic accident dial 122. But when dialing 999 outside Beijing, and without 010 prefix: The number is incorrect, please check and dial again.
* China Unicom (include contract phones without SIM cards inserted, even dialed 110/119/120/122): Hello, please dial 110 for police, 119 for fire, 120 for ambulance, 122 for traffic accident, and dial area code before 112 for fixed phone obstacle.
* China Telecom (include contract phones without SIM cards inserted, even dialed 110/119/120/122): Sorry, the number you've dialed is not correct, please check it and redial.
* Non-contract phones without SIM cards inserted: Sorry, you didn't apply for this service.
