Area Code 775 – Yulin, Guangxi

Overview of Area Code +86 775

Area code 775 is a Geographic Area Code within the People's Republic of China's national numbering plan, assigned to the city of Yulin (玉林) in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. It is used for fixed-line telephone services (PSTN) within Yulin's administrative boundaries. The complete international dialing format for a Yulin landline number is +86 775 XXXX XXXX, where XXXX XXXX is the 8-digit local subscriber number. When dialing domestically from another city in China, callers use the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and subscriber number: 0775 XXXX XXXX. Within Yulin itself, the area code is typically omitted, and callers dial only the 8-digit local number.

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

Area code 775 covers the entire prefecture-level city of Yulin, which includes the central urban districts (Yuzhou, Fumian) and the surrounding counties and county-level cities under its jurisdiction, such as Beiliu, Rong County, Luchuan County, Bobai County, and Xingye County. The code is allocated by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and administered by China Telecom, China Unicom, and China Mobile for fixed-line services. As of the latest numbering plan updates, there is no overlay code for Yulin; 775 remains the sole geographic area code for the region.

Dialing Procedures

• Local calls (within Yulin): Dial the 8-digit subscriber number directly (e.g., 2XXX XXXX).
• Domestic long-distance (from other Chinese cities): Dial 0 + 775 + subscriber number (e.g., 0 775 2XXX XXXX).
• International calls (from outside China): Dial the international access prefix (e.g., 00 in most countries) + 86 (China's country code) + 775 + subscriber number (e.g., +86 775 2XXX XXXX).
• International calls from Yulin to abroad: Dial the international prefix 00 (or carrier-specific prefix) + destination country code + national significant number.

Important Considerations

All fixed-line numbers in Yulin are 8 digits long. When dialing from a mobile phone within China, it is common practice to include the trunk prefix 0 even when calling from within the same area code, as mobile networks require full national numbering. For callers outside China, the leading 0 of the domestic trunk prefix must be omitted; only the area code 775 is used after the country code. This is a standard E.164 international format. As Yulin is a geographic code, calls are routed based on the physical location of the line, not the caller's location. For VoIP or internet-based calling, users should ensure their service provider supports China's numbering plan and may need to enter the number in international format.
