Overview of Area Code +86 350
Area code 350 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to Xinzhou (忻州), a prefecture-level city in the north-central part of Shanxi Province, China. It is part of the national numbering plan under the ITU-T E.164 recommendation, with China's country calling code +86. The code covers the urban districts and all administrative counties under Xinzhou's jurisdiction, including Xinfu District, Dingxiang County, Wutai County, Daixian County, Fanshi County, Ningwu County, Jingle County, Shenchi County, Wuzhai County, Kelan County, Hequ County, Baode County, and Pianguan County.
Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction
Xinzhou serves as an important transportation hub and is known for its proximity to sacred Mount Wutai, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area code 350 is used for all fixed-line telephone services within the prefecture. The region is under the administrative jurisdiction of the Shanxi Provincial government, and the local telecommunications services are primarily provided by China Telecom, China Unicom, and China Mobile (for fixed-line services).
Dialing Formats
For local callers within Xinzhou, the area code is typically omitted, and only the 7-digit subscriber number is dialed. For callers from other regions within China (including mobile phones), the full national trunk prefix 0350 is used, followed by the 7-digit local number. For international callers, the format is +86 350 XXXX XXX (or +86 350 XXXXXXX), where the leading '0' of the trunk prefix is dropped. For example, a local number in Xinzhou might be 1234567, and an international caller would dial +86 350 1234567.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest updates, there is no overlay code for Xinzhou; the area code 350 is unique to this region. However, due to the increasing demand for telecommunication services, the local telecom regulator may implement number pooling or introduce additional digits in the future. It is always advisable to verify the current dialing procedures with your service provider.
Caller Instructions
For local callers: Dial the 7-digit subscriber number directly. For domestic long-distance callers: Dial 0350 followed by the 7-digit number. For international callers: Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00 from most countries), then China's country code 86, then area code 350 (without the leading zero), and then the 7-digit subscriber number. Ensure you have the correct international dialing prefix for your location.
