This document is outdated, at least for 10 years.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 -

The Central Time Zone is 13 hours behind of China time, so the EST would be just 12 behind China time.

There seems to be no logic to the number of digits in a Beijing phone number. Some businesses have numbers like 5682. Cell phones have numbers like 1-37-64-18-0183. Incidentally, in Beijing, the street numbers are not necessarily in order when moving along the street.

I once called a cell number in Shanghai. I dialed 011 then 86 for China, but I didn't dial 21 for the city of Shanghai...I just dialed the cell number after the country code (86) like this: 011-86-[cell number].
