What does the telephone area code mean?

Telephone area code refers to the telephone area code commonly used in the administrative areas of major cities in the world, which is mainly used for domestic and international long-distance telephone access. For example, the international area code of Chinese mainland is 86, the area code of Beijing is 10, and the area code of Shanghai is 2 1. When using domestic long distance calls, dial 0 before the area code.

It is worth mentioning that people often confuse concepts and mistakenly think that there is a 0 in front of the area code itself. In other words, because 0 is the only long-distance access code in China, it is often used side by side with the following area code, so it has become a habit.

In fact, when calling back to a domestic city from abroad, the local international long-distance telephone access code is added after the China country number 86, and there is no 0 in front of the city area code. For example, the area code of Chengdu should be 28, not 028.
