Taiwan Country Code

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

Taiwan’s Country Code is +886

Taiwan’s country code is +886. 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 Taiwan should dial Taiwan’s telephone country code (+886) before the national telephone number preceded by area code.

All national phone numbers in Taiwan are eight to nine digits long – a bbbb bbbb, with a being the area code followed by the 8 digit local phone number. Always delete the trunk code “0” when calling from overseas. Follow these easy steps to dial a phone number in Taiwan 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 Taiwan.

Step 2. Dial 886, Taiwan’s country code.

Step 3. Then enter Taiwan’s area code. Don’t use the trunk code “0” when calling from outside of the country.

Step 4. Right after the area code, dial the national phone number you wish to call in Taiwan.

Here is an example: 

When calling from Europe: 00 886 a bbbb bbbb (or +886 a bbbb bbbb from a mobile device)
When calling from the United States: 011 886 a bbbb bbbb

Taiwan’s area codes are one, two or three digit long codes that are used for long-distance calling inside the country. Please do not enter the trunk “0” when calling overseas. Here are some Taiwan’s area codes:

If you wish to dial a phone number with these area codes from outside Taiwan, you would have to dial first the exit code, then Taiwan’s country code 886. 

For example, if you want to dial a phone number in Dalin, this would be an example of a phone number: +886 5 bbbb bbbb or 00886 5 bbbb bbbb, and 011 886 5 bbbb bbbb if calling from the United States.

Taiwan’s mobile phone numbers are operated by the three largest local mobile phone companies – Chunghwa Telecom (CHT), Taiwan Mobile and Far EasTone Telecommunications.

The mobile phone code in Taiwan is “09“. 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 Taiwan’s country code “886”, plus the 9 digit phone number including the mobile code “9”, but without the digit “0” (zero).

For example, enter 011 886 9bb bbb bbb or +886 9bb bbb bbb if calling from the United States.

If you plan to travel to Taiwan it is important to be prepared when it comes to your health and safety. We recommend to save the phone numbers below in case you’ll need it.
