Whether you plan to get lost in the confusion of the bustling, smoggy city of Taipei or visit the magnificent temples of Tainan, you'll need to call ahead of time to make plans for your trip to Taiwan.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Step1
Determine first what time it is in Taiwan. It is 16 hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time, and 13 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time in the United States.
Step2
Dial 011, the international access code.
Step3
Dial 886, the country code for Taiwan.
Step4
Dial the city code for the city you wish to call. Some codes for major cities include 2 for Taipei, 6 for Tainan, and 37 for Chunan.
Step5
Dial the remaining digits.

Tips & Warnings

  • If you follow these steps but still can't connect, dial 00 and ask the international operator to help you place the call.
  • It can be very expensive to call long-distance during business hours, so try to make your phone calls in the evenings and on weekends.
