Hong Kong Country Code

Hong Kong’s phone code is the telephone country code that is used for phone communications when a call is placed from outside of the country.

Hong Kong’s Country Code is +852

Hong Kong’s country code is +852. The country code is necessary only when dialing a phone number to make a telephone call from another country. International callers who wish to dial a telephone number in Hong Kong should dial Hong Kong’s telephone country code (+852) before the national telephone number.

All national phone numbers in Hong Kong are eight digits long – bbbb-bbbb. Landlines phone numbers start with 2 or 3. Follow these easy steps to dial a phone number in Hong Kong using the country code:

Step 1. Enter your country’s exit code on your phone. If you are calling from Europe please enter the 00 (or “+” sign if calling from a mobile device) or 011 if calling from the United States. American callers use the “011” exit code for all international call, including Hong Kong.

Step 2. Dial 852, Hong Kong’s country code.

Step 3. Right after the country code, dial the eight digit national phone number you wish to call in Hong Kong.

Here is an example: 

When calling from Europe: 00 852 bbbb bbbb (or +852 bbbb bbbb from a mobile device)
When calling from the United States: 011 852 bbbb bbbb

There are no area codes within Hong Kong. Hong Kong’s landline numbers are eight digit long and begin with 2 or 3.

If you wish to dial a phone number from outside Hong Kong, you would have to dial first the exit code, then Hong Kong’s country code 852. 

For example, this would be an example of a phone number: +852 3bbb bbbb or 00852 3bbb bbbb, and 011 852 3bbb bbbb if calling from the United States.

Hong Kong’s mobile phone numbers are operated by the five largest local mobile phone companies – China Mobile Hong Kong Company Limited, Hong Kong Telecommunications Limited, Hutchison Telephone Company Limited, SmarTone Mobile Communications Limited and CSL Mobile Limited.

The mobile phone codes in Hong Kong are 5, 6, 7 and 9, depending on the mobile carrier. When dialing a mobile phone number from outside of the country, first you need to dial the exit code (for example, “011” or “+” sign if calling from the United States), then Hong Kong’s country code “852”, plus the eight digit phone number.

For example, enter 011 852 9bbb bbbb or +852 9bbb bbbb if calling from the United States.
