Area Code 467 – Jixi, Heilongjiang

Overview of Area Code +86 467

The telephone area code 467 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to Jixi (鸡西), a prefecture-level city located in the eastern part of Heilongjiang Province, China. This code is part of the country's open dialing plan, where the national trunk prefix is 0 and the international country code is +86. For callers within China, the area code is dialed as 0467 (including the trunk prefix), while international callers use +86 467 followed by the local subscriber number.

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

Jixi is situated on the border with Russia, along the Wusuli River (Ussuri River), and is known for its coal mining industry. The area code 467 covers the entire prefecture-level city of Jixi, including its central urban districts (Jiguan, Hengshan, Didao, Lishu, Chengzihe, Mashan) and the county-level cities and counties under its administration, such as Hulin (虎林) and Mishan (密山). It is important to note that in China, area codes are assigned to administrative regions, and all landline numbers within Jixi share the same NDC.

Dialing Formats and Number Structure

Local calls within Jixi are made by dialing the 7-digit subscriber number directly (without the area code). For long-distance calls from other parts of China, the format is: 0 467 XXXX XXXX (trunk prefix 0, area code 467, and the 7-digit local number). International callers must dial +86 467 XXXX XXXX (or 011 86 467 ... from the US/Canada). For example, a typical Jixi landline number might be 0467 1234567 domestically, or +86 467 1234567 internationally.

Overlay and Numbering Plan Considerations

Currently, there is no overlay code for Jixi; the area code 467 is exclusive to this region. However, as China's telecommunication market evolves, the government has implemented number portability for mobile services, but landline numbers generally remain tied to geographic locations. Callers should be aware that while mobile numbers in China begin with 1 (e.g., 13x, 15x, 18x), landline numbers under 467 are fixed-line services provided by China Telecom, China Unicom, or China Mobile's fixed-line division.

Caller Instructions

For local callers within Jixi: simply dial the 7-digit subscriber number. For domestic long-distance callers: dial 0, then 467, then the subscriber number. For international callers: dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00 from most countries, 011 from North America), then 86, then 467, and finally the 7-digit number. Ensure you drop the leading 0 of the domestic area code when calling from abroad. This code is used for both PSTN and VoIP services, but VoIP calls may require additional access numbers depending on the provider.
