Calling cell phone numbers in Taiwan requires typing in the other person’s phone number.
Taiwan Mobile has a great visual example [1]:
If you’re outside of Taiwan and want to make phone calls to the island nation, dial your country’s exit code, then Taiwan’s country code.
Here’s an example, if you want to call Taiwan from the Philippines. You’d dial this sequence of numbers:
- 00: the Philippines exit code
- 886: Taiwan’s International Subscriber Dialing (ISD) Code
- City area code: let’s use Taipei’s code ‘02’
- Local or mobile phone number
Since Taipei phone numbers have 8 digits, an example phone number would look like this: +886-0000-0000.
