📍 Geographic Location of Jinhua, Zhejiang
Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction
The +86 579 country and area code combination corresponds to the geographic region of Jinhua (金华), a prefecture-level city located in the central part of Zhejiang Province, China. This code serves the entire administrative area under Jinhua's jurisdiction, including its urban districts (Wucheng, Jindong), county-level cities (Yiwu, Dongyang, Yongkang, Lanxi), and counties (Wuyi, Pujiang, Pan'an). As a geographic code, 579 is allocated exclusively to fixed-line PSTN services within this region, distinguishing it from mobile numbers that use non-geographic prefixes like 13x, 15x, etc.
Dialing Formats and Procedures
For local callers within Jinhua, the area code is typically omitted, and calls are placed using only the 7- or 8-digit subscriber number (depending on the specific line). However, for calls originating from outside Jinhua but within China, the full national format is required: 0 579 XXXX XXXX. The leading '0' is the domestic trunk prefix used for long-distance calls within China. International callers must replace the trunk prefix with China's country code, resulting in: +86 579 XXXX XXXX. When dialing from a mobile phone, the '+' sign can be used instead of the international access code (e.g., 00 from most countries).
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
Jinhua's area code 579 is not overlaid with any other area code, meaning that the geographic region is exclusively served by this code. Subscriber numbers within Jinhua are typically 7 or 8 digits long, and the total length of a national significant number (NSN) for a fixed-line call is 11 digits (including the area code but excluding the trunk prefix). This structure aligns with China's closed numbering plan, where the NSN length is fixed for all geographic numbers.
Caller Instructions
For local callers: simply dial the subscriber number without the area code. For domestic long-distance callers: dial 0 followed by 579 and then the subscriber number. For international callers: dial your country's exit code (e.g., 011 from the US), then 86, then 579, and finally the subscriber number. Ensure you drop the leading '0' from the area code when dialing internationally. This code is not used for mobile services, which operate under separate non-geographic prefixes, nor for toll-free or premium-rate services.
