Use this sequence when dialing from a phone keypad, calling card, or VoIP dialer that expects international access codes. It works for normal landline and mobile formats as long as the final local number is valid.

Number format notes

International numbers work best when saved in E.164 style, meaning +86 followed by the national significant number. From a mobile phone, that usually lets you tap the saved contact from any country without changing the prefix. From a landline or office phone in Monaco, the manual version is 00 before 86.

If the China number was written for local use, check whether it includes a domestic trunk prefix. Many countries write landlines with a leading 0 for local calls, but that 0 is normally removed after the country code. North American numbers are different: keep the 3-digit area code and 7-digit subscriber number after country code 1.

Costs can differ between landlines and mobiles because carriers route those calls differently. If a number has moved between providers or uses a special service prefix, the billed rate can differ from a normal city landline. For predictable spend, check the country rate before long calls and confirm whether the number is landline, mobile, or premium.
