Overview of Area Code +86 772
Area code 772 is a geographic destination code within the Chinese national numbering plan, assigned to Liuzhou (柳州), a major industrial and cultural city in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in southern China. The code covers Liuzhou’s urban districts (including Chengzhong, Yufeng, Liunan, and Liubei) as well as its surrounding counties and county-level cities, such as Liujiang, Luzhai, Rong’an, Rongshui, and Sanjiang. This allocation follows the ITU-T E.164 recommendation, where the full international number comprises the country code +86, the area code (without the leading 0), and the subscriber number.
Dialing Formats
When calling a fixed-line number in Liuzhou from within China, you must dial the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and the local 7-digit subscriber number. For example, a local number such as 1234567 would be dialed as 0772 1234567 from elsewhere in China. From outside China, you would dial your international access prefix (e.g., 00 or +), then 86 772 1234567. Note that the leading 0 is not included when dialing from abroad.
Geographic Coverage and Administration
Liuzhou is an important transportation hub and manufacturing center, known for its automotive industry. The area code 772 is administered under China’s national numbering plan, which is overseen by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). As a geographic code, it is tied to the physical location of the fixed-line subscriber. However, with the rise of VoIP and number portability, some numbers may not be physically located in the area, but the code still indicates the original geographic assignment.
Caller Instructions
- Local callers within Liuzhou: For calls within the same city, you can typically dial only the 7-digit subscriber number without the area code. However, for clarity and to avoid issues, many users still dial the full 8-digit number (area code + subscriber number) even for local calls.
- Domestic callers from other Chinese cities: Dial 0772 followed by the subscriber number.
- International callers: Dial your country’s exit code (e.g., 00 from many countries, or 011 from the US/Canada), then 86, then 772, then the 7-digit subscriber number. Do not dial the leading 0.
