on 4/6/2008 This document is outdated, at least for 10 years. The area code for Beijing is 10 instead 1. (1 was used long long time ago.)
The area codes in China can be either 2-digit or 3-digit long. (In the old days, some area codes can be 4-digit long). The 2-digit area code are 10 and 20, 21 ... 29, and they are used in super large cities, such as Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, with 10s of millions population. All are codes begin with 3, 4 ... 9 are 3-digit long and they are used in "smaller" cities. (A city with a few millions population is not considerred as a big city in China.)
In China, the area code is applicable only to fixed line phones. A local fixed line phone number can be 7- or 8- digit long, and it is 9- to 11- digit long with the area code.
All the mobile phone numbers in China are 11-digit long without area codes. Most mobile phone numbers begin with 13, but some new mobi

on 2/6/2008 I use Talkste for my international calling, and now they've just added China, which means free international calls to or from China -- you call and local number and they connect you internationally. They don't ask you for your credit card and you can talk as long and as often as you like. Site is: www.talkster.com
