📍 Geographic Location of Shunde/Foshan, Guangdong
Overview of Area Code +86 757
Area code 757 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the city of Foshan in Guangdong Province, China. It serves the entire prefecture-level city of Foshan, including its five districts: Chancheng, Nanhai, Shunde, Sanshui, and Gaoming. Although Shunde is a prominent district within Foshan, the code 757 covers the whole metropolitan area, which is part of the Pearl River Delta economic zone.
Dialing Formats
When calling a fixed-line number in Foshan from within China, you must dial the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and the subscriber number. For example, a local number in Shunde might be 0757 2XXX XXXX (the subscriber number is typically 8 digits). From outside China, you dial the international access code, then China's country code +86, followed by the area code 757 (without the leading zero) and the subscriber number: +86 757 2XXX XXXX.
Geographic Coverage and Administration
Foshan is a major manufacturing and trade hub, with Shunde being famous for its home appliance industry (e.g., Midea) and culinary heritage. The area code 757 is administered by the Guangdong Communications Administration under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). It is a geographic code, meaning that numbers are tied to a physical location, and local calls within Foshan are typically charged as local calls, while calls from other cities in China are considered long-distance.
Numbering and Overlay
Foshan uses an 8-digit subscriber numbering plan. There is no overlay code; 757 is the sole area code for the city. The first digit of the subscriber number often indicates the district: for example, numbers starting with 2 are often associated with Shunde, but this is not a strict rule due to number portability and reallocation. All fixed-line numbers in Foshan are 8 digits long, and the total length of a national significant number (NSN) is 11 digits (0 + 757 + 8 digits).
Calling Instructions
- Local callers within Foshan: Dial the 8-digit subscriber number directly (without the area code). For example, to call a Shunde number from Chancheng, dial 2XXX XXXX.
- Callers from other cities in China: Dial 0757 followed by the subscriber number. For instance, 0757 2XXX XXXX.
- International callers: Dial your country's exit code, then 86, then 757, then the subscriber number. For example, from the US, dial 011 86 757 2XXX XXXX.
When dialing from a mobile phone in China, you can also use the full national format including the leading 0, as mobile networks handle the routing automatically. However, for international calls, always omit the leading 0.
